Testimonials

Issei Takehara testimonial for Derek Padula

“Derek helped me get my chapter on Dragon Ball published in an academic anime journal. My original submission needed revisions, so I asked Derek for help. His edits, suggestions, and mentoring were effective and informative. I resubmitted my chapter and it was accepted!” – Issei Takehara, Japanese Language Instructor
