About the Site
Can I help?
Post a message in the Feedback/QA forum. Staff are generally responsible for scanning (requires you to own the manga, a scanner, and a quick internet connection), editing (you need to be Photoshop/Paintshop pro capable), translating (you need to be able to translate Japanese, French, Chinese, or whatever language our scans are in), or helping write articles for the magazine section.

Manga Scanslations
What is a scanslation?
Basically it's a scan of a manga that has been edited such that the Japanese text has been replaced by English text. The legality of it is debatable. Technically it's illegal, but if the series is not licensed, it is normally overlooked. In some ways, scanslations are beneficial: many series get popular through scanslations.
Can I suggest a project?
Sure. Put suggestions in the forum. Keep a few things in mind when suggesting a project.
- Don't suggest one currently being worked on by another group.
- Don't suggest licensed manga.
- Being able to provide scans or translations always helps.
Why did you stop scanslating <insert manga name here>?
Projects are stopped for a variety of reasons.
- The manga is licensed in the United States. (In this case, please purchase it yourself to support the mangaka (author/artist).
- There is not much interest in the manga in question.
- We lost the translator.
- We're unable to obtain scans.
