For over three decades, renowned Japanese voice actress Megumi Hayashibara has breathed life into countless iconic characters—including Ranma Saotome (Ranma ½), Rei Ayanami (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Lina Inverse (Slayers), Jessie (Pokémon), Faye Valentine (Cowboy Bebop), and Paprika (Paprika)! In this new memoir, Megumi provides an in-depth look at her illustrious career and how the characters she has portrayed have impacted her life both personally and professionally.

Overall a good read, but it wasn’t a true epub format, I guess because they wanted to keep the pictures and artwork, so I couldn’t change the text size (I’m on a kindle white). Probably would be easier to read on an iPad.

I got to reminiscence many of my childhood favourites as Megumi wrote about her experiences with each character. I didn’t know of the more recent animes as I haven’t been watching for a while, but still it was nice to read about how she faced and resolved certain things.
