The positions listed below are in order of most needed to least but for our site to function properly we need all of them 🙂

Positions:

Translator: Ace of Diamonds and other
Editor: Ace of Diamonds and Fantasista
Typesetter: Ace of Diamonds
Quality Assurance/Proofreader: Ace of Diamonds and Fantasista
Cleaner: Ace of Diamonds

More in depth detail on the positions:

Translator: One chapter every week ( for a side project once every two weeks is fine).

We also can take on another side project but we require a translator to do that. If you can translate and have an idea for a project, feel free to contact us with your proposal. 🙂

Editor: Be able to replace Japanese words that are on the picture with the English translations. We do have a small editing test of only two pages to get this position 🙂

Typesetter: Erase the Japanese from the bubble and place the English translations into it. Make sure it fits and leave anything that seems to complicated alone. It's one of the simplest jobs and very easy for someone with no experience to pick up.

Quality Assurance/Proofreading : Be online and available a lot, or at least be able to get on when we give you a note in advanced. Read through and find any grammar issues with the chapter, and make sure there is no Japanese left that should be in English. Overall just checking to make sure the chapter is ready to be published. It can easily be done in 10 minutes.

Cleaner: Make sure the pages are the correct shade, size and shape.

If you are still interested please answer these questions.

  1. Name,email,any other way to contact you.
  2. Position you are applying for(editor,proofreader,translator).
  3. Level of experience(Beginner,some,etc.)
  4. If you have experience can you provide links to your previous work?
  5. Anything else you would like to tell us about yourself.

Also no experience is necessary 😀 . Plus I can supply Photoshop if you do not have one.

no prob man...cuz i love mangas...esp. romantic comedies...and i can bet u tht i would fail the typeset test and/or proofreading test (cuz what i think is rite could be wrong like i type and read like how i talk...unless its a paper for skool thn i actually write well) and idk if i'd be fast at it.

  1. Name: Steve, Email: Arcturea@gmail.com
    .

  2. Position im applying for: Typesetter preferably, but im more than willing to learn how to edit manga and i have enough time to be a constant source for proofreading.

  3. This is my first time helping out a scanlation group, but im more than willing to put in the work and time to learn to use photoshop better and help out with getting manga out faster. I have an easy schedule this summer so i have plenty of time and i really want to learn how to use photoshop well.

  4. Anything else you would like to tell us about yourself:

Im studying for my GMATs this summer and i thought this would be a great way to help out with a manga group, read more manga, and also learn to use photoshop all at once. Ive read alot of manga and i want to help out so we can turn out some high quality manga for people to read. Im a manga lover that wants to help!

Ok! Kobe_81 and Makaveli: What project would you like to work on? Truthfully we now have an equal amount of people doing Fantasista and Ace of Diamonds so you can pick whatever you want. Also it would make it easy for me if you copy pasted it on the forums so i can put everyone in a group. 😀 I'm trying to organize everything.

Our site: www.aozora-no-kumo.com
Our forum: http://aozora.forumotion.com/

Dea334: People who don't have time generally quit on me >.< I don't want to teach someone and then they quit after a chapter or two. If you seriously don't have time its ok 🙂 I have a few people now.

I got hit with a small army of people X.X
