-EDIT: POSITIONS FILLED! THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST!-
I'm going to need an editor. Long story short: I have 4 mangas. I have first chapters done of each. I need anyone interested to drop me a line saying they want to edit. I'll take the best application, and that editor chooses the manga they want to do. Once chosen, I'll continue translating that manga, and then the editor can either quit after finishing, or choose another manga. Once you're hired, I'll send you the script, and a rescan if it's the second or third choice. Sound good? Great! Here are your choices.
Scans for Tenbin and Keika are courtesy of Echhi Yuri.

Shounen.
This is half Shounen, half H. It has a really weird premise. There are these guys who want to take over the world by eliminating manga writer assistants. Tamae, an aspiring manga assistant, is attacked by them but ends up saved by Keika. The two then become really good friends.

The Gokujo link isn't working.
ReplyDeleteFixed!
ReplyDeleteBy the way: update: Kite from Tranquil Spring may be doing Rakka Ryuusui with me. I'll keep you posted!
Too bad that I am not good with edit...and I am a little busy with college =/
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just come to say a hi! xD
Hey T-Y. I'm interested in some of the projects. However, I would need to know my schedule first. I have recently taken on a night shift job (10pm-4am) in addition to full time school, so yea...
ReplyDeleteHeylo, I'm very interested in editing mangas, but I have no experience whatsoever, however, if you don't mind giving me a few pointers, I am more than happy to help you with editing. :]
ReplyDeleteIf you want, you can give me a lil test run and see how I'll do. I promised I will try my best and meet your expectations.
@leleburger
ReplyDeleteWell leleburger, this is the thing. First of all, I already have at least 3 projects going on with 3 different editors. The aim was to get one or two of these picked, and they have, and do the others later.
That, and I'm working with editors who have experience.
BUT.
If you are willing to do your best, learn what you can, and create beautiful edits, then people like you deserve a chance to get started. I'd be happy to give you that test run.
It would be better to get some practice on doujins first, that's exactly what I did.
Find a short manga or a doujin that you like and hasn't been edited. (Preferably yuri, shoujo-ai or at least yuri-ish!) Send it to me. I'll give it a translation and give you the script. If you can do a great job on it, consider yourself hired as a manga editor.
There are lots of tutorials here:

But unfortunately, I am not a good editor. I've always focused on translation instead. I can't really give you any pointers. People like Yi or Kite would be better choices to ask.
All I can say is... good luck!
@T-Y,
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving me a chance, I really appreciated it. :]
Unfortunately, I don't have any doujins in mind. I have searched for some doujins, sadly, they are all edited. If you don't mind, you can pick any doujin you want me to work on and I would be more than willing to do so. :]
Also, is there a deadline you want this test run to end, or am I free to have time to work on it? I have also dropped Yi a comment regarding tips and tricks on editing, so I hope I can do a good job and become a manga editor. ^^
And here is my email address if you need to reach me: leleburger@hotmail.com
Thanks again for your time and patience. :)
@ T-Y, sorry for the double posting and I'm not spamming I swear!!! >.<
ReplyDeleteIs there any Canby Boy doujins? I haven't seen one yet, and if there is, I would love to edit one. If not, Lucky Star would do too. :]
Here are scans of a couple chapters of Bansoukou no Yuuwaku, from the yamibo forum: http://rapidshare.com/files/301350988/bansoukou.zip.html
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks Erin... is that there all there is though? I've been looking everywhere, apparently it isn't a full volume yet. I actually already had the same 46 pages from the yuri sample file you sent me. I was under the assumption that there was more. No wonder I couldn't find any. Thanks anyway, Erin!
ReplyDelete(Thanks to that yuri sample sample file I discovered Rakka Ryuusui, I can't be thankful enough for that!)
Oh, sorry, didn't remember I put those in! I did some poking around, and it looks like that's chapters 1 and 3. Chapter 2 is here: http://www.yamibo.com/viewthread.php?tid=76108
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any other chapters, but they might be floating around out there somewhere.
Thanks so much Erin! I guess I'll check again in a month or two and see if any more of it published.
ReplyDeleteEditing Assistant Denki Keika going slowly but surely. May I send you some pages?
ReplyDeleteWoa Bansoukou seem interesting :x
ReplyDelete@T-Y if you do it, call me and I will help you edit it :)
