So I managed to get a hold of the raws up to Vol 18. They're already of a decent quality, and most of the kanji have furigana on them so I can do some translating. I tested on chapter 0, which is not yet available here in English (and the available English scans was of a relatively low quality), and while I can do the translating, doing all the other tasks is difficult and time-consuming for one man, so I need some people who can:

-Redraw the raws

-Typeset (preferrably can also do SFX typesetting)

-Proofreader (preferrably can also edit the lines so it flows better; I'm not a native English speaker).

 

I plan to work on chapter 37 soon, but if no one can help do those tasks, then expect some bad redraws, bunch of untranslated SFX, and stiff grammar, and each release will take a very long time. Maybe 1 month/chapter at best.

 

Chapter 0 is done, I will upload soon, so you guys can know what to expect. If anyone's interested, please PM me here.

 

EDIT: I'm currently re-reading the scanlated chapters to refresh my memory on terms and names for consistency, and I find that some of the earlier chapter's translations aren't that good, to the point of some sentences really doesn't make any sense in context, or just missing the point entirely. This is low priority, but if I can gather enough people to lighten the load, I may also work on translating the previous chapters.

I can proofread. I happen to be an english major with a semester of elementary japanese behind me. I'm not a good artist though, so no redrawing for me. I'm willing to try typesetting, but I have no experience. I really love this series, so thanks for picking it up!

If you still need it, I can help. I have experience as a typesetter and can redraw SFX. I can also help with making the text flow better and fix grammar/spelling mistakes.

I will help in any way I can! I can clean and redraw stuff, no problem (got Photoshop and a graphics tablet, so quickness is a thing I can do). I can also edit and typeset. Send anything you want done (with a message about what you want done to it) to [email protected] 

I'm totally serious about helping. I've been trying to find someone who could translate it for a freaking year now so I could offer them my services. So, please, let me help you.  -Molly
