As the title says, I'm looking for a cleaner for the series Star Ocean 2 Second Evolution that just started its serialisation in the June Issue of Dengeki Maoh. This is based on the PSP remake of the original Star Ocean The Second Story on the Playstation. The cleaner will only need to clean this on a monthly basis (probably with one month breaks in between) and also the tankoubon raws (I will be re-releasing this when the tankoubons are released). You will be working on nothing but this series (unless you choose otherwise, I need some extra cleaners anyway for the Tales of Series manga).

Despite this being from a magazine, the paper used to print this is actually very good quality (different from say Weekly Shounen Jump or Weekly Shounen Magazine), in fact, it's probably the same paper quality that Media Works use to print Dengeki Comic's tankoubons, thus it is much easier to clean (and you won't take as long due to the fact that there isn't as much noise to deal with) compared to standard low quality magazine paper (which kind of reminds me of newspaper)

I will post up some raw samples when I get this scanned to show the quality of the raws and the paper used to print this, and you will know how much time and work is needed to be put into this.

The cleaner should preferably know how to connect to an FTP server as this is how I pass the cleaners the scanned raws (although another method can be arranged if you don't know how to do so). You should be able to clean color pages on top of the mostly normal gray pages, and also have a decent skill at redrawing both color pages and gray pages (although help can be arranged if you're facing tougher pages or having trouble, I have a pretty skilled redrawer that can help).

Anyone interested, please reply or e-mail me at eternal@eternalmanga.net. I currently do not have an editing test (until I scan the first chapter in), but if you have any samples of your past work (both raw and cleaned pages), please post them or e-mail them to me.

EDIT WITH RAW SAMPLES:
This is a sample of a page of my scanned raws for cleaners to see the quality of the raws they will be working with. They are in 2000px height.

Edited first post with raw samples and cleaning test.

Cleaner position filled. However, you can still apply to be a cleaner for the group as I need cleaners for the other projects the group is scanlating. Just do the cleaning test and submit it in to eternal@eternalmanga.net

Visit http://www.eternalmanga.net for project information.

I am looking for another cleaner for this project since the previous cleaner isn't responding to my e-mails nor PMs.

Please refer to this topic for the cleaning test.
