what do you mean?

>how to spot Jaiminibox or mangastream

still hoping someone picks this up
myanimelist.net/manga/104076/Kemono_Jihen

for a second, i thought it was from kekkaishi's mangaka.

Still hoping someone will pick up Ishoujo+

Now that you mentioned it, yeah, I could totally see Tanabe's artstyle

funny thing is both Tanabe and Aimoto are female mangakas that always write battle shonen about fighting yokais

he didn't release it.

Finished typesetting a chapter of Musume no Iede earlier this week.
Not much else to be done.

Only thing I'd actually like to help out with currently is Seto no Hanayome, but given that series is plagued with incredibly detailed SFX and redraws, it seems like a giant pain to do.

Maybe I'll get back into doing simple typesets of random shit off danbooru or something

I hate scanlation drama why does it have to exist.

anyone know where i can get kubert font?

>scanlation drama
There are none.

Because you're working on something that's too popular.

Something that's got like 27 follows on Batoto, 11.8k views after 12 chapters, about 5k on kissmanga, and not even any reddit comments. In other words, shit nobody cares about, but me and literally a select few.

Are you an attention whore?

>xPearse
>attention whore
What do you think?

Waiting for translator

Joe Kubert, Adam Kubert, different one? Which do you want?

Thanks

>77 dollars
Who pays 77 dollars for a fucking font

...

>implying I paid anything
Though yeah, those prices are crazy.

Businesses that don't want to get sued.

Why not just use another similar font?

Maybe they need some expenses to write off.

Had a request to remove the Giant Pig Dongs from this image.

I believe it's a doujin cover.

Try harder

Go ahead, do it. People are usually getting paid for editing porn they don't care about.

Still a work in progress obviously.
Deleting the entire background isn't really a fix.
Even if you no longer see Pig Dicks.

I hope someone picks up Rakugo soon

No. But it does help to have actual discussion or comments on the things that I do outside of thanks.

>I don't like him
>I'll just say anything negative
Ya wanna grow up a little bit?

>caring about scanlation drama
>reading about it
For what purpose? Just ignore it.

Of course I ignore it But having to witness it is annoying and discouraging. Specially since it involves making something I'm working on into a private release.
I just wanted to share this with as many people as possible, not a selected few.

>Specially since it involves making something I'm working on into a private release
How did that come about? And why can't you just release it publicly later and pretend someone else did it?

If you don't like being called an attention whore, you have a few options.

You could post in such a way that your identity is anonymous. You could post in such a way that your identity isn't anonymous, but that doesn't come off as a whine about the lack of attention your work is getting. You could refrain from posting altogether.

Or you could post non-anonymously while bemoaning your lack of attention, and then act as though being called an attention whore is a complete non-sequitur. The choice is yours!

The project leader is a passive aggressive cunt and decided to make all releases private for some reason.
If I do that she'll get mad and it might affect future releases of this author.

Yaoi group?

Yes. It never ends.

Ah, right. Here I thought you were just jumping in on it. If it's related to yourself, then I guess it's okay.

But, if I may ask, what do you actually do for it? Can't you just go away from the leader and work on it by your own or with the other members?

>she
Oh, that explains everything.

Or, you know, just not. But, in any case, it's not about lack of attention because that's not what I was talking about, but you probably just saw it as such to forward your own little agenda.

The guy literally is posting anonymously, the statistics he gave are relevant to his complaints.

Trust me, I know how he feels and it really isn't attentionwhoring to want people to discuss the series. That's like 90% of the reason I translate.

If someone is translating one of the most popular manga of all time but they are taking years to do it, is it wrong to commission someone else to translate it faster when there's still over half of it left (20+ volumes)?

And where do you go to commission someone for this stuff? Or is there a place where translations exist but they're not edited onto the page yet?

In that case, I advise keeping an upload folder of all the group's releases, so that you can go public with it whenever she decides to quit. Or whenever she stops working on stuff you care about.

That way you know the bs won't matter in the long run.

>the most popular manga of all time
?

I said one of, as in one of the best-selling (on Wikipedia, it's in the Top 30 of all-time), the only reason I mentioned that bit is obviously the raws are out there (even I have them, though I can't read Japanese) and there's plenty of people who love it so obviously it's just not attracting scanlators due to lack of awareness but because nobody wants to do the work, but I really want to read the whole thing and the scanlator doesn't seem that interested in doing it at a consistent or quick pace

I'm just the editor, they provide the raws so I can't really do anything.
But it's not for this work in particular, because I have my own raws too, but future ones that are harder to find.

This is a good idea, will do.

Just say the name, fag. You've piqued my curiosity.

How would you translate this "ギャ" as a SFX?

It's a scream, isn't it? "Kyaaa" is a common one.

Rokudenashi?

Sorry, I wasn't sure if you were asking the name or making fun of me for implying it was popular

I'm talking about Rokudenashi Blues specifically

Aieeee according to some people.

Yes (I'd also someday like Beshari Gurashi but Rokudenashi at least has been started)

>Fucking whoa! What the fuck is this fucking shit!? Shitty fucking fuck!

Hey, I was right.
What do I win?

How many people here actually work on things they like/want to and how many don't?

first vote best vote

>working on manga you don't like
Who would do that to himself?

You didn't phrase that poll very well. An answer of no implies that the responder only works on projects they don't like.

I'm not the user you were talking to, therefore I wasn't really trying to make fun of you. Thanks for the name.

I don't know, do you have any recs for good people to commission for stuff like this?

I'm already working for free, may as well work on something I like.
But I only work on one manga with another user, things are probably different when you work with a proper scanlation group.

>want people to discuss the series. That's like 90% of the reason I translate
That's 100% of the reason I clean, redraw and typeset. I really like reading other people's theories and points of view.

I lost it but there's a google spreadsheet that gets posted around with a list of people who do commissions, with details on their quality. See if you can find it in the archive.

Any good typesetters feel like working on a Symphogear doujin?

I scanned, translated and cleaned it already, but I'm running out of time and motivation.

You said you have the raws, right? Can you post the raw for this page? It's form chapter 153

...

How do EOPs live with themselves when the vast majority of translations are obviously, even to their eyes, total garbage?

Can anyone recommend me a handwritten font that looks somewhat messy but still readable? I'm thinking of using "another", I also tried augie and aji hand but they don't look like the original.
This is what I'm trying to imitate (or get at least a bit close to. NSFW, btw):

It's a tad outdated, but maybe you have luck with one of those.

ask

Those threads are a very pitiful circle jerk. I'd rather not.

How many pages? Do you have a link to the raws?

How long is it and how much text is there to typeset? Also, how much money you got.

I wouldn't trust 99% of the people who do commissions because there's no real way to check if their work is accurate or any good unless you check the raws yourself. Then again, they'll probably do the lousiest job just to get the money. In other words, you're probably gonna have to check people or groups yourself and judge off their releases.

However, what is it you're looking done? And how much are you willing to spend?

About 44 pages of text. But it's very simple typesetting with no redrawing or anything complex.

And no, I scanned it myself, never made the raws public.

If nobody has done it by tomorrow morning (Yuropoor here), I'll do it.

All right, cool.
If you decide to do it. Just drop a throw away e-mail address here and I'll send you the raws and script.

Hoping that someone pick this

Already in progress.

fonts2u.com/eager-naturalist.font?ptext=Do you really want to do it here&size=2
dafont.com/angelina.font?text=Do you really want to do it here!?

I found a font that fits better but Angelina seems useful for another one, thanks.

Which one? I'm curious.

anime ace

You guys ever make your own font?
myscriptfont.com

Janitor, since she's mad in those few pages.

Janitor: my.mixtape.moe/qvpyrj.jpg
Angelina: my.mixtape.moe/gcojfe.jpg
Domestic Manners: my.mixtape.moe/nxpjtz.jpg

I only modify some fonts to add missing characters, like ~ or on Wild Words.

There are some, if you pay attention.
Oku-sama ga Seito Kaichou had some recently.
There was someone that translated it for a while but hadn't done a chapter in about 8 months, so someone else started working on it.
Then the old guy that was working on it contacted him and said "Yeah, I'm working on chapter 40, knock it off".
The new translator skipped 40 and released 41 and 42, and that was more than a month ago.
The releases look like:
>Latest Release(s)
>v.9 c.41-42 by SquigglesJP (39d ago)
>c.38 by 3829 (256d ago)
>c.39 by 3829 (288d ago)

So now it's stuck with a territorial scanslator that really isn't actually working on it, even though the raws are public.

How much time do you guys spend on cleaning a chapter that's around 18-20 pages? Also, how much time does change spent on cleaning between tankoubon and magazine raws?

Which group?

Redrawing included?

It depends on a handful of things.
If I care about what I'm working on and want it to look really good, I'll leave every spec of dust on the page.

If if it's just something I'm "meh" about I'll just clean the text and typeset it.

Some tanks use bad quality paper as well, do it can vary a good bit.
Magazine raws will almost always be bad.
Doujin usually have the best paper. Here's an example I just scanned. And something like this would only take me around a minute to clean.

>8 months
Why do scanlators think this is acceptable?

anyone currently working on something elemhunter has uploaded?

Someone translate this, anime got announced a while ago.
mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=110462

anyone got the RAW for Hinamatsuri 61?

Are raws available? I could be up for doing most football-related stuff, so I'd at least give it a look.

No, without it.

Do you remove dust via old dodging/burning or use topaz? Also, how much time do you think would be needed to turn this page into a decent quality without going overboard?

Does the blond girl have only one leg?

>No, without it.
20min, i usually use script for it after 1st page.

Good choice.
