I started to translate an old Pokemon Doujinshi, but it was too hard so I gave up.
There is no way I could translate, redraw, etc. a whole manga on my own, which was the whole reason I started learning Japanese in the first place.

Why the fuck not bitch? I've done it before, it's not a big deal.

That's why you find someone to work with instead of doing it all on your own.

Has anyone fixed EBJ script yet? I broke some time this week after an update.

As the others have said, find someone to work with. Redrawing is possibly the most taxing thing someone can do relative to scanlation. Find a redrawer/cleaner, and kill 80% of your work. You can still patch up their work if you don't completely like the results; but you won't have to do all kinds of bullshit anymore.

Are the Rakuten coupons kill forever? Wasn't there another coupon that could be used by regular members that went up from time to time?

Looks like it.

I might look into fixing it again, I have an issue of Rex coming up and it looks like ass on Rakuten for some reason. Not any time in the next two weeks though.
I haven't looked really recently, but I'm pretty sure coupons are 100% dead.

Still looking for a cleaner for this by the way.
#teammoe on Rizon, or just send me an email or whatever.

Ureshon when?

Is user who did Sunoharasou no Kanrinin-san
boards.fireden.net/a/thread/147689647/
still here? Will you (or someone else) ever continue it?

Hopefully it can be fixed, I also have some issues coming up in the next couple weeks to rip.

What's that about?

Anyone have a pastebin/guide on how to rip from EbookJapan? I heard their raws are really good, so I want to see if I can try using those instead of ordering from Japan.

EBJ broke everything again, have to wait for whichever user decides to take up the task of fixing the script.

Street racing, touge and wangan. Some rallying. It's mainly about a middle aged guy who rediscovers an old Group B Starion belonging to his boss that he never got to race since Group B got canned before it could run. He fixes it up and takes it out on the streets. It's bit of a twist on the usual coming of age story, this time it's an older guy coming to terms with his own age.

It's all car stuff basically.

Anyone is doing the new sunday series?

Which one?

Tell me some manga to translate. Preferably something with raws available. Dropped series are fine too.

This has been dropped recently. I'd really like to see more of it, but I'm helping with a series called Tomogui.

What a generic request that will surely be followed through.

I'm taking a look at the requests being posted. I'm just looking for something that interests me and that I can also translate.

I released this loli porn last night
exhentai.org/g/1051374/404897839d/

For the first time I tried stretching the dialogue font up to 115% vertically and shrinking it down to 95% horizontally, that way it takes up more space in the bubbles, without deforming the font too much.

Maybe it's an autistic thing to care about, but I think it looks nice.

What genre?

mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=62295
It's hilarious. Only 3 volumes.
rbfi.io/dl.php?key=/mFPQ/Kyoaku1.rar

I have upscaled raws(Waifu2x), but they'll take time to upload.

here's some suggestions

Nurse-witch Komugi, the manga. Two volumes long and finished.

Where has everyone been recently? These threads have reached a whole new level of dead.

>loli porn
Literal degenerate-tier.

I particularly enjoy urban settings with a slight touch of fantasy, kind of like D-crackers. I also have a penchant for unusual sci-fi settings mixed with fantasy similar to Jintai. I don't want any LN adaptations though.

it allway been dead,just you don't notice.

People in these threads have become even more jaded, recently, I think. Plus, there has been much idiotic bullshit that was never deleted in certain previous threads; that scared even myself off for a while. The board needs faster/stricter moderation, in general.

Do you guys clean and typeset at the same time? My translator keeps telling me to clean first to give him motivation to translate but I hate having to work on the same page twice.

Stop turning it into a general. Kill yourself.

That's stupid. Cleaning and then typesetting works out much faster as you don't have to stop every two seconds to clean/redraw a bubble.

Having fun in urban setting:

unusual fantasy+sci-fi settings:
Probably works of this guy, pref. Kosmos Rakuenki. Exceptionally comfy.
mangaupdates.com/authors.html?id=314

And who knows, maybe even this:
to-ti.in/product/?id=37

Have raws for all of these.

That's what I do, I clean the page then typeset it.

Do groups usually respond quickly if you apply to them? I would not mind doing typesetting or trying redrawing but I just haven't reached out to any scanlators yet.

Well I'm still pretty new so I didn't get that far.
Probably will in the future.
exhentai.org/g/595818/2c6654569c/

Would it be wrong to take a manga scanlation group's terrible uploads and redo the typesetting and cleaning myself with their translation?

No, but the first 4 chapters have absolutely garbage scans. You're better off taking the ones from nyaa and cleaning those. As for the translation, I don't know if it's worth it.

Depending on how many sfx there are, I typeset dialogue first on all the pages, then typeset all the sfx so I don't have to keep switching from one font to the other every page. I feel it saves me some time.

I first clean a single page, then typeset it like this user does

Fuck sfx, I'm terrible at trying to make them creative I hate how shitty they end up looking.

Someone please translate Karakuri Circus.

When are you gonna try handdrawn sfx?

Nothing stopping you, though if you're that committed I'd just offer to help the group so that you can avoid having to redo everything in the future.

Vanilla Spider needs a TL, the one who signed up only did a couple chapters before disappearing. The first volume's almost done, just redoing the existing chapters with tank scans since the previous group outright skipped some bubbles and was fairly liberal in their translation.

Wait, shit. I thought I was in the mia thread. Stjill, no there's nothing wrong with that, but maybe it's worth it to ask them for the PSDs and stuff like that.

I did like 10 pages of Maid in Japan, but I'm not satisfied with how I removed the noise. I should have burned it manually, but I instead used more leveling on already leveled pages. Gotta redo that I guess.

I finished translating this Iori doujin, but I'm not super confident about the translation:
exhentai.org/g/1019020/6516e84be3/

If you think you're badass enough to finish it, here's the source files (because it'll rot on my harddrive otherwise):

>8 pages
wew

Do Shakotan Boogie next please thanks.

I'd have to get a drawing tablet or something and while I'm sure the results would look much better, I'm not convinced it's really worth the expense

I wish I could find someone to edit stuff for me, I could translate and they could edit, I've joined groups before but it takes literally multiple months for a single chapter and then they just disband. There's only enthusiasm for a few days when the group starts, that stretches out over a few months of not really caring anymore before everyone just leaves.

Cleaning bubbles and typesetting is a skill you acquire in... 3 hours? Then there's redrawing, which you can bullshit with the clone stamp tool and the healing brush tool.

I know how to clean I just don't like doing it, I wish I had a partner.

I'm sure you can find cheap ones on the internet.

>the hospitable heart
>not a hospitable heart
Did you people even proofread this?

TLs just apparently drop out of the sky these days.

Do you guys know of any shaky font for main body?

That looks like shit

dafont.com/komika-boo.font

then fix it :^)

What are you translating?

>you people
It's just me.

Nothing because I only consume and do not contribute

Nothing in particular just random doujin's when I feel like it because I hate doing editing to be consistent for a series. I would definitely want to do a series if I didn't have to edit and the editor actually put in time, but most people do like an hour every other day at most, and maybe an hour a month at least. Realistically I would love to do a chapter a day.

A chapter a day is a tough task, unless the manga is very interesting. I usually typeset 1 hour a day too, but I'd love to find something interesting.

You can't even typeset an entire chapter in an hour?

>typeset 40 pages in one hour with redraws to do in most of the pages
who can

You just said typeset so I didn't know what you were referring to.

Usually takes me 3 hours or so.

Oh, it's not the same user.

Would anyone translate or transcribe this please
tieba.baidu.com/p/5054853577

>transcribe

Found the Google translate fag.

Yes, amazon sells some cheap Huion model for about $40, but I'm still kind of on the fence about it. It's not really going to do anything that can't be done with the usual fonts.

I'm not ruling it out anyway, if anything it could save me some valuable time when typesetting.

I think it adds a personal unique effect to the edits but I guess it also takes time to get used to it.

On another note, you weren't planning to finish the Mamezou tank right?

Even if you had some help?

Nope sorry, I was interested in it because of the god tier loli+anal combination, but iirc the rest of the stories in that tank weren't loli

Mind giving source my good man?

You are a man with fine taste, I think some of them weren't but the rest would count because the body type is small enough.

I'm fine as long as it's cute anal tho

It's something I'm still editing. Second story in this raw exhentai.org/g/979246/4f79509bb2/
hopefully done with it by next week.

It's a shame that the anal-story of the loli sister in that mogg arc story didn't get translated.

Alright, thanks.
I will be waiting patiently

This manga is supposedly serialized on same website as that Daiz-Monk-Saitama smut that recently got anime

...

>translating takes me 20 mins
>redrawing/cleaning takes me 8 hours
I hate everything.

Same. And what I translate is either old or obscure so there's hardly even any fans after it's been translated too, so no one's rushing to help.

I realized I'm just going to selfishly write scripts and keep them to myself as I build up my speed, and then dump volumes at a time. In the meantime, hope fans actually read my credits page and are willing to offer help.

To the guy translating porn here, do you get paid or is it for personal interest?

It was a figure of speech, nimrod.

What the fuck, you can get paid for translating porn? I've been doing it for free this whole time.

I thought this was just going to be a one shot or was.

What manga do you do? Have contact details?

What does grayscale-alpha mean?

You can even join the jews if your are good enough.

Looks interesting, I'll read it later.
By the way, this IS a girl, isn't it?

For free, don't want to feel obligated to do something I enjoy doing on my free time.

People do commissions and stuff. Tbh I find it a bit morally questionable if the original artist doesn't see a cent of it.

Others go work for Fakku, etc.

I can't decide which one to scan next.
