-Title-
Date Ast Like AKA Date A Strike
I've been translating this, but I need a typesetter. Any other position would be helpful too. I've currently got Chapter 1 translated, and am working on fixing up the translation I did for chapter 2. I own both volumes, and have raws that I can provide (though I need to get the volume 2 raws converted from PDF form first. I have Volume 1 already converted).
-A little about it-
Date AST Like is a spinoff from the light novel Date A Live (done by the same author and character designer) that has a much stronger focus on the AST (Only really Tohka has a significant role out of the non-AST Date A Live characters as far as I've read so far), and features a female main character. I haven't read the novel, but compared to the anime series it's more serious (though it still definitely has its not serious moments), and has a more focused plot. It's also got yuri, but it's not really the focus, and it's not really gone anywhere (nothing really any more 'romantic' than what you'd see in a typical shounen manga.). It's just pretty apparent that the main character is into girls. It's also got ecchi, so if you're not comfortable with that then there's no need to respond. There are some fairly violent scenes, but they're not really anything more extreme than what you'd see in a fair amount of shounen manga.
-What I would like-
I definitely would not mind a proofreader/editor/qcer as I engross myself in Japanese so much that oftentimes I begin to lose my grasp on the more grammatical aspects of English. What I need the most though is a typesetter, as that is really time-consuming, and I feel time better spent working on the translation.
-Misc Info-
This is not a paid position, as I really don't have money to use like that, and I've not really formed any group. I just saw some of Date A Live, thought it was a little interesting, but then noticed about the spinoff. I got some raws, skimmed them, and decided I would start translating it since no one had picked it up yet, which I felt was a real shame. And I really found myself enjoying it!
Anyway, any help is appreciated, and if you're interested, please PM me.
