Wow, franku! |
It is the great, nay, most noble and dignified task of taking a comic in one language and replacing all the text with that of another. I don't know what all those other guys do but we're using the tried and true "copy and paste" method. Here's a demonstration of this method(which I did not create):
We* pride ourselves on our quality, which sucks, and speed, which is low. There's no cleaning, so some of the original Chinese text will still be on there, and no typesetting, everything's in Arial for now. Here are a couple of "legit" scanlator sites so you have a point of reference as to how ghetto this whole operation is:

New chapters will be posted on a rolling basis, meaning whenever we feel like it. Here's a couple of our corporate slogans:
"No redraws, no redos, no regrets."There'll be big changes coming to this blog. Biiig changes. But first, a preface about our operations: Speech bubbles for Chinese cartoons often tend to be horizontally challenged, as in they are really tall and narrow so you can't fit a lot of English letters on each row of text resulting in every other word getting cut off halfway. We've discovered a revolutionary new technique that completely eliminates this problem: slanting the text at an angle. Think of it this way: now you can exercise your neck while reading!
"Prolonged exposure may increase your risk of cancer."
For our debut scanlating endeavor, we're picking up "Retired Heroes" starting from Chapter 9, as the existing translation is only up to Chapter 8 and shows no signs of updating in the next year or so. Yeah, it's an actual Chinese comic, I wasn't making fun of anime this time.

Expect the banner image and general theme of this site to change Soon(tm), along with more chapters as they're translated. This will probably only last for like a few weeks but I'll be damned if it won't be a blast while it lasts.
*Yes, I am a contributing member. I definitely did not rope others into doing all the work.
Any chance you could post your scans to mangadex.org?
