Lorena Nava Ruggero

Lorena Nava Ruggero is a professional writer and editor in Southern California. She loves nothing more than reading manga with her French bulldog, Rocky, at her side. When she's not writing reviews or reading manga, she enjoys cooking, hiking and watching movies, including anime. Each year since high school, she has saved up all her nickels and dimes to head to San Diego Comic-Con International, where she immerses herself in all things "nerd" for an all-too-glorious four and a half days. In addition to writing for Manga Bookshelf, she also contributes to MangaCast and writes daily reviews for her own blog, i heart manga.
