Fighting Dreamers Scanlations use some help starting up our spinoff group Licensed But Censored. Our launch projects are HQ versions of the tanks of Dragonball vols. 1-5, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure vols. 1-4, Tenjho Tenge vols. 1-5, and Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo. We would use official name translations and chapter titles when they are not censored, everything else would pretty much be from scratch. We need cleaners and typesetters for all of these, and Translators for everything but Dragonball Please apply either at the forums for Fighting Dreamers Scanlations in the staff application sections, PM me, or reply here.

Manga Zone Scans, a new group, is currently recruiting for a staff to do some Manga projects. We would like to provide translated scans to the Manga fans with the best quality we can give.


Staff needed:

1. Scanner/Raw Provider
   - So basically, you are the group's raw provider in providing the Manga(s) that the group is/will be doing.
   - High quality is a must.
   - Dedicated and active, of course.
   
   
2. Translator
   - Experienced.
   - As of now, we'll be needing a J to E translator.
   - By the name, you'll get it; you'll be the group's translator. No need to be perfect in grammatization (that's why we have proofreaders for spelling, grammar, and the like) so no worries.
   - Able to send (at least) a chapter every 1-2 weeks. (Unless you have emergencies, exams, etc.)
   - Dedicated and active, of course.
   
   Translator's Test: http : // www . mediafire . com/?wyizwgwwzco
   
   
3. Editor
   - Inexperienced and Experienced. (If you are inexperienced, please take a look at: http : // www . unblessed . net/guide/main . html for help)
   - Editors take in the spot of both cleaning and typesetting (also includes the SFXs) the scans.
   - Able to send (at least) a chapter every 2-3 weeks. (Unless you have emergencies, exams, etc.)
   - Dedicated and active, of course.
   
   Editor's Test: http :/ / www . mediafire . com/?unlynawtujt
   
   
   
   • Cleaner
     - Inexperienced and Experienced. (If you are inexperienced, please take a look at: http : // www . unblessed . net/guide/main . html for help)
     - Cleaners just cleans the raw scans for the typesetter. Unlike an editor who does both cleaning and typesetting, Cleaners just cleans out the foreign language in the scans.
     - Able to send (at least) a chapter every 1-2 weeks. (Unless you have emergencies, exams, etc.)
     - Dedicated and active, of course.
     
     Cleaner's Test: http : // www . mediafire . com/?4znmttmzi2o
     
     
   • Typesetter
     - Inexperienced and Experienced. (If you are inexperienced, please take a look at: http : // www . unblessed . net/guide/main . html for help)
     - Typesetters input the English translation on the finish product of the Cleaner. Unlike an editor who does both cleaning and typesetting, Typesetters don't clean then put the translation they just put the translation on the scans.
     - Able to send (at least) a chapter every 1-2 weeks. (Unless you have emergencies, exams, etc.)
     - Dedicated and active, of course.
     
     Typesetter's Test: http : // www . mediafire . com/?uyzmgn2wzno

P.S.
For the following needed staff, the number of slots for each job is still undecided.
Genre: Shounen and Shoujou

P.S.S.
Just remove the spaces in the links I've given. Thank you!

However, Japanese to English translators are needed to make this happen! If you'd like to be staff for Bakusaiga, or just lend us a few translations, it'd be much appreciated.

You may already know about us and think that we are just a car/racing manga team (because we translated Initial D, Wangan Midnight and Over Rev!) but that is not the case anymore! we are dropping Initial D and Wangan Midnight after we release what we have been working on for those mangas, and I would like to drop Over Rev! aswell but our 1 man cleaning, editing and typesetting team for that series wants to continue working on it.

The direction Wangan Scans is now heading in is into the more "mainstream" mangas that are more fun and enjoyable to read (and work on).

What I need to achieve this is "new move" is more staff (in this order of priority) -

1.) TRANSLATORS (Japanese or Chinese - I really don't care as long as you can translate) - Your job is to errrrr... translate Japanese and Chinese to English. We currently have 2 translators, 1 Chinese translator that has gone from superfast to superslow, and 1 Japanese translator that has always been superslow and now looks like he might leave the team because of stuff happening in real life.

2.) Cleaners - Your job is to remove all the text from the bubbles, remove any dust/imperfections from the pages, adjust the levels of the pages, and to crop (if necessary) and resize the pages. We have 1 of these and he has gone from superfast to super-mega-slow and has also become a bit sloppy with his work.

3.) Skilled (or at least have played around with photoshop) Editors - Your job is to join double pages and to remove Japanese/Chinse text that is not in bubbles. We currently have 1 of these and he switches between superslow and average speed.

4.) Typesetters - Your job is to copy and paste the English text (from the translation files that you will be sent) into the bubbles and onto the page, you will have to use certain fonts and sometimes be a bit creative. We currently have 3 of these, 1 is busy with real life so he works slow, another is the one man Over Rev! team, and another I haven't heard from for a week.

5.) Proofreaders - Your job is to check the spelling, punctuation and grammar of the English translations before a chapter has been typeset, and then check the chapter after it has been typeset (it is easier to spot mistakes in a typeset chapter). We currently have 3 of these and they all do a decent job which is why I would prefer to hire people who meet these requirements -
1.) English is your main language (I would also prefer that you come from an Enhlish speaking country)
2.) You have to at least be a college student or college graduate (or you must get excellent grades on your high school exams/tests)

6.) Website and forum designers/coders - Your job is to create a stylish website and forum (I would like phpbb) using free online hosts (I have some free online hosts in mind so ask me for them)


Here is a list of the projects that we would like to work on -

Over Rev! <-- to keep our 1 man scanlation team happy
Gorio <-- Have looked and can't find raws
Gakuen Heaven
Kurosagi: The Black Swindler
Noritaka
Kira Kira Labyrinth
Shibatora
Fortune Arterial
Muramasa <-- no new releases from hyuugalegacy for 80 days
Tokkou! Maid Thunder
Bari Haken
Golf 13
Tsuri Chichi Nagisa
Happy Negative Marriage
UFO Princess Valkyrie
Hoshi no Furu Machi
Keppeki Shounen Kanzen Soubi
Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki ja Nai n da kara ne!! <-- no new releases from Operation Boredom for 87 days
Kitsune no Yomeiri <-- Have looked and can't find raws
Ru~mu! Room No.1301
Q.E.D. - Shoumei Shuuryou <-- the description sounds interesting
Hetakoi
Tanpo
Lotte no Omocha!
Lovely Uchikoshi-kun!! <-- have looked and can't find raws
Aiko Desho
Sumire 16 Sai!!

I haven't bothered looking for raws for any of the mangas that I have mentioned above (apart from the ones that have a note next to them) because I don't have a translator for any of them yet, but if any translators would like to see the raws for the mangas before deciding if they would like to join the team then we will find them and provide them.

If you do have raws for any of the mangas listed above - drop me a pm on the Wangan Scans forum or post in this topic.

If you would like to join our team - drop me a pm on the Wangan Scans forum or post in this topic.

If your group would like to do a joint on any of the mangas that I listed above (your group will have to provide the translations) - drop me a pm on the Wangan Scans forum or post in this topic.

Greetings from Spica Scanlations! We're a small, relatively new group working on oneshots from Arcana (the anthology).

We can always do with more staff but at the moment another English proofreader would definitely help get those releases out c: We're not too strict with release scheduling and neither do we bite so please don't worry about that.

For more information on Arcana you could also check out the Baka-Updates, MangaHelpers or MyAnimeList info page.

Personally I would recommend this series to anyone who loves the works of Zero-Sum mangakas like Minekura Kazuya, Takayama Shinobu or Kouga Yun c: Visit our site at ttp://spica.fleeting-whisper.net to leec-- I mean download our past works. You could also take a look at the Volume 6 RAWs which I uploaded over at MangaHelpers not too long ago c: Each oneshot is around 8 pages long only and we don't release in volumes.

So anyway, if you have free time on your hands and would like to help out please email spicascans [at] gmail [dot] com! Alternatively, feel free to PM me :3
