I'd really love to see Violence Jack by Go Nagai fully translated. Unfortunately, it's such a beast that most people won't touch it. First of all it has some pretty disturbing contents, and secondly it's also quite (very!) long.

If anyone who's fluent in Japanese feels like tackling this beast I'm offering money in return. However, as I'm not made of cash, I can't offer too much. $20 per volume is not a lot, I know. I could probably raise it some if you want to barter with me.

If you are unfamiliar with the manga, here's a brief synopsis:

Violence Jack starts with an earthquake that destroys a large part of Japan and turns it into a post-apocalyptic nightmare. A gigantic man awakens to battle the savages that oppress the weak. He doesn't remember his name, but calls himself "Violence Jack" as he carries a machete sized jack knife.

I've had prior experience with editing manga (roughly 2500 pages), so I will do that part. I can also host the files and put up a site.

hi! are you still in need of a translator? I am a linguistics graduate and I studied japanese lanaguage. I already have experience on translation. How many pages are there? please e-mail me... tensai_hiei@yahoo.com
