My translator keep putting dumb and cringy tl notes, but I'm afraid of hurting his feelings by ignoring it on typesetting.
What do?

Please, someone, pick up this.

Where are the raws? Everybody's gone dark.

Does anyone know how the scanlation for Kenja no Mago is progressing? The raws for all of 19 had been out for a while and also 20 part 1.

any chance of having a mature discussion about it?

Someone please pick this up.

Looking for a cleaner/typesetter for Sansha Sanyou. It's like, the easiest job you'll ever do. 4koma, barely any backgrounds, small and infrequent SFX, 8 pages a chapter, I'm lazy as fuck (which is why I don't want to typeset by myself) and only get done like a chapter every 2 weeks, etc.

You realize that's 13 volumes and counting, right?

Yeah, I realize that I'll catch up in 2030 at this speed, but whatever. It's nice to have something small that I can always turn to when I'm working on something else.

Anyone wanna typeset Minami-ke? I've had three different typesetters commit sudoku over working on this.

>13 volumes
>worth complaining about
yeah no
Try working on something with 40+ volumes; you'll realize how easy you have it

No, seriously, I need the Weekly Shounen Champion raws.

Why hasn't the haruka admin made a new site? Why are they not sending out emails? Did I miss something?

What's it about? The description isn't that descriptive.

I have a 70 volume work in mind that I wanna work on, but I don't think anyone would want to help me.

Name?

In case anyone wants to take me up on the offer, email [email protected]

What's left of Futari Ecchi, which is still around 40-50 volumes left.

Are you looking for 51? I have them.

My tablet died so this week will be spent typesetting while I ponder whether it's worth to spend money on a new one that will be used 99% of the time soley for scanlations

It's that or learn to redraw with a mouse which I don't want to do especially because my mouse is dying too

Yes. Can you link them?

And I really don't want to have to ask for them every week; can you just tell me where I'm supposed to go now? I emailed the haruka administrator in a couple languages on multiple addresses and got no response. So, it's not as if I haven't been trying.

Ignore them.

Also, I bought these digital raws myself from Rakuten. Unfortunately, I can't find these raws anywhere else (without buying them).

Thank you so much. Next time, maybe I'll pick up the tab.

It's a relief to know that I'm not being left behind on the curve with the scan sites, too. I feel like the Nips must be plotting/scheming something in the meantime, as they love piracy more than we do, but I couldn't possibly afford to spend the time it would take to scour 2ch looking for a temporary solution. Here's hoping the English community doesn't get left behind as a whole.

Not that user, but thanks a lot man

Just resumed scanlating to edit some precure doujin in my mother tongue and it's seriously demotivating me. The best raws available are from doujinantenna (the raws on ex come from there too but they have crushed shadows and blown highlights) so the quality is pretty bad and there's a fuck ton of jpeg artifacts.
It took me like 10 minutes to TL the whole thing and the editing is taking me around 30 minutes per page, considering there's over 30 pages I consider killing myself.

Have you tried looking for any paper copies to scan yourself? Sometimes that's the only way.

They're out of print and I really can't afford myself a scanner and the customs fees right now anyway. I tried looking for the digital versions but it seems like the artist is very slowly (but surely) putting all his works on DLsite/DMM. But at the rate he's going I'll have to wait for 2+ years before all his works are there so I'll just re-edit them when they'll be available for purchase.

Working on an erodoujin actually.

I have yet to find a translator but I'm sure I can beg someone in my group to do it. Problem is I have no experience redrawing which I will need for pages 22 - 28. First time for everything.

Looks creepy.

Working on a doujin right now. There's too much to redraw so I'm thinking of leaving the sfx's as they are and just typeset the dialogues.

Do readers even bother with sfx's in ero doujins?

From what I gathered the average reader don't care about sfx, no. Also nobody ever complained when I didn't edit them just like nobody ever praised me when I translated them.

I wouldn't worry about them.

I've been told by my readers that they don't care about sfx, they'd rather have the stuff out faster. If I do sfx then it takes at least twice as long.

i never understood why people bother with redraws, or trying to make "quality" scans that look like an official tl

id be happy with literal mspaint word bubble tls

Then do as you like. Personally, I edit them if there are not far too many.

Hey, some people are happy with shit on a plate. Others aren't.

I usually only edit the in bubble ones, not editing any sfx at all makes it look incomplete imo

honestly who gives a fuck? Id rather be able to read the damn thing and keep up with a series than have constant slow downs because some faggot wants le perfect font and english sfx. shit doesnt add anything to a tl. id rather have a complete tl than one that takes years because of shit like that

Only translate SFX if they're inside bubbles. Untranslated bubbled SFX are an eyesore.

There's actually people who don't TL bubbled sfx?

Unfortunately for you, you'll have to put up with our autism.

why do weebs have to have fucking autism

Registration is currently open, if it takes off there's going to be some JP people posting raws
This is NOT a website of re-haruka admin by the way

Is it alright to ask for an opinion, regarding typesetting? While playing slightly outside of general guidelines to follow, My tendencies are to make use of font. (mostly habitual due to real life reasons) What I'm asking is, how appealing, in terms of the general consensus, is the following?

and yes, I ramble :)

>:)

Fuck off.

The quick rundown
MC ( AKA "Shounen A") in middle school killed a teacher with a bat that raped the girl he liked (seems like the girl also liked him). Girl being all mindbroken from the rape(s?) attempted rape (She was raped prior to this and this attempted rape is when MC found out about the situation and killed the teacher) and now just seen a teacher murdered with a baseball bat couldn't say anything, and MC refuses to say the reason why he killed the teacher (even to his mom). Skipped 3 years later, MC is in HS and all is great until someone found out he was "Shounen A" and all hell breaks loose for MC life again. The girl also reappears 3 years later after finding out about the story of MC being posted all over online.

TL;DR MC killed a teacher in MS and now in HS he is found out by everyone and the story continues from there.

After meeting the girl again,(he does want to meet her again after the event) turns out the girl likes her Senpai at her school. RIP MC

Vertical ellipsis should always be typeset horizontally

>There's actually people who don't TL bubbled sfx?
When it comes to porn, you can expect all sorts of abominations.

The "Is that so?" line is hard to read at that font size, and the line spacing is too big. Compare it to the spacing in Wild Words.
Conversely, the "Yuuri! Yuuri!" font is too stuck together, and the letters cover each other. You could make it a little smaller so that the dots of the i's don't touch the text above them.
"So cruel !" should be "So cruel!", don't put unnecessary spaces before exclamation/question marks.

Oh how pleasant. Please excuse my asinine self, over here with my asinine anxieties about petty bullshit, that really and most honestly doesn't matter anyway.

Good day.

Can anyone vouch for this site? It's never been posted on Sup Forums before.

The site is basically dead atm but it doesn't seem fishy.

Thank you.

And yes I agree about the "Yuuri Yuuri" font, that bubble is my sworn enemy. I like the font but getting it to work is another ordeal. Most likely will change it all together.

I've been pondering the spaces between punctuation. It is unnecessary almost all the time, then TL will throw a .. ! , so I roll with it at least until final revisions.


And side note: Yes! There are ppl who don't translate bubbled sfx, It adds hours to my time card. But I'm useless in other languages. I have a growing file of sfx translations with the raw sfx sliced and pasted. Hahaha


Appreciate the feedback, trying something different than the normal 5 fonts is a bit to wrack the brain.

The fact that it is dead is what makes it seem fishy to me. Where did this come from? Who knows about it? 2ch? They don't seem to have taken to it, if so.

There was a private forum called AQUA at akari.aqua-natural.com/ but it closed after the arrests
This site seems like a continuation and it only opened a few days ago

Alright, thank you. As long as there's at least one respectable Nip vouching for it, I feel that I can trust the site.

>!
>There are ppl who don't translate bubbled sfx

>translating yaoi shit
Jesus christ, what an unbelievable faggot.

I'm not Japanese but I was a longtime member of AQUA
Wouldn't hurt having an account on the new site because I'm sure it's going to be private once there's enough active members and between closing of ugcity, haruka and aqua people who didn't get scared are looking for a new place

If you're paranoid just use made-up credentials that you don't use anywhere else and disable all scripts

>disable all scripts
Gotta wait on noscript to update then.

this is probably why I never visit these threads, I never do any sfx, bubbled or not, use one font and my chapters are out within a few hours of the japanese release, still got 200k+ readers, stay mad boyos

>I never visit these threads
>except just this one time I promise

>this is probably why I never visit these threads
Why are you even here then?
>stay mad
>implying i'm even mad
Every one of us have our own autistic quirk, you for example is the perfect example of the e-peen autist.

pretty much, but enjoy annoying your readers because you're autistic ta ta lads

well, being fast and sloppy is the only reason you were "popular".
But then again, that's what your waifu said last night

Out of the current books on my shelf, I only really need to scan Louvre no Neko. So, for now, my scan backlog is done. I don't really feel like scanning the rest anytime soon, so let me know if you want something in particular. I might scan Hiromoto Shinichi's Sex Machine today if I feel like it.

Readers came because of the manga, not because of you. A quick and dirty job is nothing to be proud of.
People still go to Mangastream for example

What's the cheapest option for importing used raw manga

I'm doing it. It's fucking 60 pages so wait a little.

There is no "cheap" option. They need to make a profit as well as send it overseas to Europe and America so don't expect to buy something for nothing.

>pic related
It means nothing if you don't post the japanese lines.

It was an image unrelated to my post, but here's one with the nip.

Surugaya + BiJ / JSS probably.

Okay sorry, good luck.

>screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/123891
Fucking hell, I hate when the only raws available are heavily compressed jpg.

Okay, so looking at the latest raws, I think I'm officially interested in Summertime Render now. Anyone doing it yet?

This is the scanlating centre.

I'm busy posting in the loli thread.

bamp

I'm working on scanning and cleaning the Viz volumes of Eyeshield 21 because the original scans/translations are LQ trash. Not sure if there's any interest in this though.

Please do, because it looks like there's only print release. Although I'd be happy with it just being scanned, even without debinding.

This is being done with debinding, so no worries there.

Have an example page here.
