Hi, I am working on a super violent martial arts novel translation (Shishi no mon) and I would like to find someone that can proofread, make corrections and catch mistakes, I have finished the first chapter and I'm looking to do another one every 3 months or so, please email me at rtkfanservice@yahoo.com or PM me.


Shishi no mon (Gate of the fierce lions) is an action novel series by Baku Yumemakura. It appeared serially in the monthly magazine Shousetsu Houseki "Novel Jewel" (Kobunsha Publishing) from 1984. The novel was withheld from publication for a long period, but in recent years has once again been appearing serially. The novel has been tagged as the "super violent novel". The cover art and illustrations are done by the manga artist Keisuke Itagaki. As of 2014, eight books have been published by Kappa Novels (Kobunsha Publishing) finishing serialization.


Plot
The story revolves around four young boys who all have strange personalities and come from usual hometowns. They acquire discipline through martial arts and before long get to know each other and are in fierce competition. The main plot is intertwined with several side stories that are driven by sub-characters original to this series. In addition to these original characters the karate practitioner Jyumei Kuga who appears in the manga version called Garouden (Legend of the hungry wolves), also written by Yumemakura and illustrated by Itagaki, has been changed to an original character of the novel and does not practice Karate but an ancient Japanese martial art.



Notes, Thoughts, and Background: This is a project that has been in my mind for a long time, I own a private group of manga and fighting novel enthusiasts and we all chip in to make projects like this to see the day of light, because of the popularity of the manga series from Itagaki Keisuke "Garouden" (available everywhere thank to us) we are continuing the story in novel form but there was a popular character there "Jyumei Kuga" and we decided to translate the novels to discover his background.

This is my first attempt to do a novel project and even though, my English skill is at a considerate level, I want to solicit proofreaders, editors and whoever is interested in this novel series to help me release a decent English version, the content is extreme (but not a the point of being gross or porn) , I want to see it done and I already have taken steps to see it get into completion, our translators are working slowly on this and I would love to see more people working on this project that are familiar with Japanese terms and English street lingo "AKA american") to give it a revision that would read and reach its intended audience.
