A handful of HaruHime’s remaining staff wanted to make a subgroup to continue some of our favorite and beloved series. “Matteiru” in Japanese means “Waiting for you”, and now we're waiting for YOU to join us to work on projects that we all love =]

 

We are recruiting Japanese Translators, Editors, Proofreaders & Typesetter. (updated 02.16.2015) We are looking for people who will become dedicated and committed to our group in the long run. We prefer skilled recruits, but if you think you're good at the job then we urge you to try and apply anyway. (We may be able to train translators) Nonetheless, I am sure you will still learn a lot regardless of your skill level.

 

We also offer some special things for you! If you get accepted for one position, we can offer to train you in other positions that you're interested in. If you're from an international scanlation group and you want to use our cleans or scans to use for your retranslation, we will give you access to that as well.

 

Types of Positions you may apply for:

• Japanese Translator (Must be proficient in both Japanese and English language.)
• English Proofreader (Proficient in English, NOT a robot, smart and thinks outside the box.)
• Editor (Cleans, typesets and knows redrawing. Someone awesome.)
• Cleaner (Focuses on cleaning and redrawing. Has a keen eye for colors and details. )
• Redrawer (Focuses on redrawing only. Does necessary generally intensive redraws or cloning.
• Typesetter (Puts the English translations onto cleaned scans. Has an eye for typography.)

NOTE! Editors, cleaners, re-drawers, and typesetters are required to use Photoshop.

NOTE! Positions which are grayed out are closed until further notice.

 

We have very relaxed deadlines however, there are a couple series in which we hope to release at least once or twice a month. We may choose to test you.

Please feel free to leave a reply here with:

• Your skill level (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced)
• Position desired
• Which projects you're interested in working on (we can consider even bringing in new ones if you bribe us with your love and affection)
• Describe your personality
• Sample work (if any)

あのさ。。。I'm down for helping out. CoyoMoose is down to just two series now, so I can take on something.

 

- Your skill level (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced): Advanced
- Position desired: Typesetter, Translator
- Which projects you're interested in working on: I'm not picky, Mairunovich would be nice though.
- Describe your personality: Uhhhhhm, I dunno. I'm blunt and sarcastic, which can sometimes be hard to take over the internet.
- Examples of your previous work:

• http://www.batoto.ne...by_coyomoose/1  You'll notice text overlaps bubbles and whatnot, simply because that's how I like to typeset Haigakura. Everything would be too small otherwise.
• http://www.batoto.ne..._by_coyomoose/1
• http://www.batoto.ne...by_coyomoose/1  I also let text go over the bubble edges here.

 

If you want more lemme know.

[holanio]

Yes'm! We want you Yukiko 8D

Hello, Matteiru Scans! I'm interested in helping you guys so here goes nothing!

 

- Your skill level: Intermediate, I think? Not sure about this, haha~

- Position desired: Proofreader

- Which projects you're interested in working on: There is not any preference at the moment, though KKK made me quite interested.

- Describe your personality: I'm a diligent and responsible person. I do my best and will be sure to notify if I can't take up a task or can't finish it properly.

- Examples of your previous work: I worked as a proofreader in a very old manga scan group (it's closed now and I don't keep the scans to show you) so I can't give any example, haha~

 

- Note: I am actually interested in editing/typesetting as well, I've tried it before, did couple chapters, but with very basic skills. I'm not sure with my school schedule though, so if I'm to be given editing/typesetting works, maybe I can do half of the chapter while someone else does the other half.

 

I guess that's all, any question feel free to ask me! Thanks for reading.
