About Merlyn De Souza

Merlyn De Souza is a freelance writer and anime enthusiast based in the tiny coastal state of Goa, India. When she isn't writing, she can be found exploring various realms of entertainment including, but not limited to, K-dramas, novels, and the occasional manhwa. She also enjoys all things creative, like sewing and makeup, and has a penchant for sharing boundless insights about her beloved interests.

Industry Focus

Merlyn particularly enjoys writing about One Piece, which quite literally took over her life a few years ago when she first committed to watching it. She also likes to write the occasional Jujutsu Kaisen feature, having picked it up after watching Season 1 when it first aired, dying to know what happened next.

Favorite Media

Lately, Merlyn's been especially obsessed with anime like SpyxFamily and webtoons like Purple Hyacinth, I Am The Villain, and The Greatest Estate Developer. She's especially fond of series like Kamisama Kiss, Yuri on Ice, and Ouran High School Host Club which share a special place in her heart with old Barbie movies and a couple of K-dramas.
