Maid wo Nerae! - Chapter 2 release

Our second release is finally here, hope you enjoy it. 

Noncomplatypus was having trouble translating the last few pages because of a lot of technical terms and such, so I told him not to do them.  They're just stuff about sewing, how to make the maid uniform and such.  If anyone really wants to know all that, tell me and I'll make him go back and do them.

Download link.

We're still hiring for all positions, so please check out our help wanted post here!  Thanks!

PS: For future reference, we tend to do about 10 pages a week, so for Maid wo Nerae it's taken us a little over a month for each chapter.  Should we in the future be doing something with shorter chapters, releases will be more frequent.

Maid Wo Nerae! chapter 1

Well, here's our first release, chapter one of Maid Wo Nerae!  It's been brought to my attention that this isn't just a one volume manga, but it can't be still being released right now, because the author is divorcing his wife (the artist).  If someone could tell me how long this actually is, that'd be great, otherwise I'll figure it out when we're done with the first volume (after the next chapter).  Everywhere I read said it was only one volume, but apparently not.

If you're wondering why the screentones on some pages look weird, I don't know.  The pages with a ton of screentone, they end up looking really weird and are way more noticeable than on the raws.  Those pages messed up my font sizing, too.

There are a few small inconsistencies as far as font goes in the first ten pages or so, mostly outside of bubbles, but nothing too big, and I somehow deleted my .psds of the first ten, so I'm not bothering to fix the things that would take more time to fix.  Sorry.

Special thanks to Spiritovod at Mangahelpers, who posted the raws there, and had already leveled them!

 

Here's the link!  Enjoy!

Feel free to leave opinion on the translator's notes.  I put almost every one Noncomplatypus left me, even though a lot of them weren't necessary.  

We're still hiring, so if you have any free time and think you might want to help (even just a little), please check out this post!

We're currently looking for help with all positions, so take a look at the post below this!

Help wanted!

I've decided that since there are a few things I'd like to see translated that haven't been or have been on hold for a long time or dropped by their groups, that I'd attempt to start a small scanlation group myself.  I'm a capable editor, but unfortunately my Japanese is the shit. 

Currently looking for help with all positions, in this order of need:
Translator > raw provider > proofreader > editor.

Requirements:

Must be seriously interested in helping and able to produce within the guidelines listed below.  
A limited level of commitment to KHS work is fine, but you MUST be able to produce what you say you can and not quit in the middle of a project.


Translator:
Must be able to translate Japanese to English with good grammar and spelling.

Raw provider:
Must have access to the magazine or tankobon of the series and a scanner they can use and/or be able to scour the internet for raws (using Share or other means).

Proofreader:
Must have good English spelling and grammar, though doesn't necessarily have to be a native speaker.
Right now it's not worth sending the files back and forth when the editor can just do this fairly quickly.  This will be done in addition to being an editor.

Editor:
My standards aren't going to be too extremely high here, but must have access to Photoshop and be capable of basic cleaning and typesetting of manga, namely: adjusting levels, cropping, resizing, a small-medium amount of cloning, splicing two-page spreads together, etc.  Must be decent at copy-editing.

More info:
The series we'll be doing will be predominantly seinen-ish manga, but there can always be exceptions, and I'm open to suggestions.  

If you're interested or have any questions, please email us at kuroihasuscan@gmail.com.

Serious applicants only, please.
