do you have any idea why the anilist bl manga you link may redirect to a 404 page instead?? i already signed in and turned 18+ content on but sometimes they still won’t show 😭😭
i know you say there's lots of bl that should have more volumes but are there any that ended perfectly with 1 volume?
tough ask bc a lot of them always make me feel like "man i wish this got more content" but the best example would be send them a farewell gift for the lost time. well, that one ended up getting a reserialization very recently LMAO
i think a big problem with bls is that they almost never get the privilege of showing the characters after getting together, the opposite of many het romances (to my knowledge). why? please, show us how the characters are like now
Hey there you mentioned in your previous ask that you used a specific upscaler for the raws. May I please know which program you used and where can I download it if possible.
i used mangascale run on chainner! tbh it was a lot of trial and error bc the textures on yuuma's blazer did not scale well on the model i typically use (digimanga) and a bunch others. typically i would only use waifu2x to denoise stuff but cmoa raws are horrible and the screentones are often Gone so i needed something that can restore them for me
Hi! Do you know about any youtubers that are fudanshi/fujoshi that you maybe like to watch or that you know about?
i loved your and your team’s work on kurose-kun…!! everything was so clean and the typesetting is soo good… it looked like an official english tl, or maybe even better than some… it’s a shame that you guys won’t be continuing it since another team got to it already (unless that team is giving it to you guys?) but i’ll keep supporting you and your team ^_^
nah we're still continuing! the other group said they're dropping it to "avoid animosity" and stuff, lol
and thank you!! i really only worked on typesetting and some pr (alongside translating the synopsis and the ship sheet at the end). the translation is my friend's aca's work. also a big chunk of the eng proofreading is thanks to another friend (credited as "lord long legs")! ran did the clrd (god bless them bc this series looks like it's gonna be a pain in the ass to redraw)
the raws only appear more high quality bc i ran them through a specific upscaler LOL... bc of the other group, we can't wait another month for the Better raws on kobo (bc they release on cmoa first). with that out of the way i think we could wait for them haha
i just want to ask why you dislike omegaverse (and its sub genres) in particular. im not sure if you’ve answered this before in your account.
it gives me a very...Ick feeling. like a "wow i feel like an object" feeling. also having the whole plot centric around it is sloppy, unless you really want to deconstruct it. and i said it once and i'll say it again, but the only way you'll ever truly deconstruct omegaverse is if the mc the trans. trans in what way? who knows. but that'll never happen in a commercial bl manga bc people are cowards
are there any bl you like that don’t strictly belong to the romance/slice of life genres? (like horror, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.)
hmm, i think Most of my fav bls fall under "drama" or "comedy" but i'll exclude that from the list so...!
park hanhoo's manager (action, mystery)
traces of the sun (action, fantasy)
checkmate (psychological)
hanbun ageru (psychological)
heaven and demon (psychological)
cry of despair (psychological)
hoeru inu to kubittake (fantasy)
a beast's love is like the moon (supernatural)
otsukaresama, kurose-kun (supernatural, horror)
koisuru psycho shirayuki-kun (horror, psychological)
the other world's books depend on the bean counter (fantasy)
red candy (action)
love stories (i think this can count as psychological)
hadashi no tenshi (fantasy)
kouun na kimi to boku no mirai (supernatural)
hello… may i interest you in this cute manga i found on the tl… https://x.com/suica_v/status/1793618731358388287?s=46&t=4RMhKfjoJecVhB8l90qjcw
i personally dont get what’s so bad about the current scanlations for kurose kun. it’s better than the machine tl that other ”tlers” provide at the very least
is it okay if i take inspo from your synopse graphics for practice and maybe sharing with friends privately for recommendations?
Do you know if there’s been a translation of Koi ni Naru Ni Yakoshii (to eng) yet ? You’re literally the only other person i’ve ever seen speak abt it and Im going crazy…😭
do u have any tips for finding bl mutuals/friends?? 😭😭
since you do typesetting, what’s your favorite font? :D
do you have any tips for typesetting? i really want to try it
alright, here we go...!
reference official releases! particularly the ones with good typesetting, like kuma and sublime. ALSO reference comics too! blambot has a yt channel where they do lettering lives!
look up tips and guides and stuff! here's the blog from comicraft and blambot's lettering tips (there's more under the "tips" drop-down menu)! quicksandscans also has a good resource page
don't be afraid to ask for help!! actually, PLEASE ask for help. we really need to raise the bar on what's considered "average" within scanlation these days bc bro the bl scene is in shambles with how many shitty releases are there from often solo groups (and a certain big group). i mean, i also work solo most of the time but i take a lot of time making sure my stuff is presentable so PLEASEEEEE
