As the title says, I'm looking for a cleaner for the series Star Ocean 2 Second Evolution that just started its serialisation in the June Issue of Dengeki Maoh. This is based on the PSP remake of the original Star Ocean The Second Story on the Playstation. The cleaner will only need to clean this on a monthly basis (probably with one month breaks in between) and also the tankoubon raws (I will be re-releasing this when the tankoubons are released). You will be working on nothing but this series (unless you choose otherwise, I need some extra cleaners anyway for the Tales of Series manga).

Despite this being from a magazine, the paper used to print this is actually very good quality (different from say Weekly Shounen Jump or Weekly Shounen Magazine), in fact, it's probably the same paper quality that Media Works use to print Dengeki Comic's tankoubons, thus it is much easier to clean (and you won't take as long due to the fact that there isn't as much noise to deal with) compared to standard low quality magazine paper (which kind of reminds me of newspaper)

I will post up some raw samples when I get this scanned to show the quality of the raws and the paper used to print this, and you will know how much time and work is needed to be put into this.

The cleaner should preferably know how to connect to an FTP server as this is how I pass the cleaners the scanned raws (although another method can be arranged if you don't know how to do so). You should be able to clean color pages on top of the mostly normal gray pages, and also have a decent skill at redrawing both color pages and gray pages (although help can be arranged if you're facing tougher pages or having trouble, I have a pretty skilled redrawer that can help).

Anyone interested, please reply or e-mail me at eternal@eternalmanga.net. I currently do not have an editing test (until I scan the first chapter in), but if you have any samples of your past work (both raw and cleaned pages), please post them or e-mail them to me.

RAW SAMPLE:
This is a sample of a page of my scanned raws for cleaners to see the quality of the raws they will be working with. They are in 2000px height.

Rena-chan :nani: you the same person who provide Fairy Tail Raw plus others :danc:

yeah, so here is question: you want only one dedicat ededitor?

Yeah, I'm the one that's scanning that from WSM weekly =D

I basically only need one cleaner to clean the chapters every month, since this is the first chapter I've got, and the speed I'm looking for is basically one to two weeks to be done cleaning the chapter (to ensure the release is done within that month). Tankoubon cleaning doesn't need to be fast, cleaners can take their time with it and I can help if I'm free (only for the tank scans). But yeah, I basically need one dedicated cleaner for the magazine serialisation monthly and to help with tank scans cleaning when they get published. Technically one would be enough, since we're looking at tankoubon quality paper here, and not the quality that is used to publish WSM and WSJ, so the time needed to clean a page in comparison isn't as much.

Well, no problem. we can help but i dont know if anyone will want to be dedicated since we do too many series and some of our series even still not done. So best thing is when you have the raw for the chapter post in this thread or send me PM so i go look for someone who can help. The cleaner can change. So if you no find anyone who is dedicated, yeah, then you do that :Wink:

Ahh, I see. I'll be scanning it pretty soon, I just need to get it debinded or whatever first. Would this be considered a joint if your people help or would a cleaner that would be interested in it to help my group with it? I have my own website, webhost and distro. Technically I'm not looking to joint if possible since I want this to be specific to the group, just looking for a cleaner that is willing to work on it every month for my group, just a note.

Translator for this series is still pending anyway, I've asked one of my translators if she would be interested, if not, I'll still need to look for a translator first. A translator is more important than anything else, since I can always temporarily be the cleaner for it while I continue to try and find a dedicated cleaner for it.

I haven't scanned it yet. I will start on it today. BTW, samples as in just a few pages or the entire chapter (for translators)? Cause for the samples for the cleaners, it's only a few pages for them to see the quality of the raws and also to serve as a cleaning test.

if a FH cleaner do the job its gonna be fine, you dont need to test them.
hope you find your translator though.

I already have two applications for the cleaner position, and it looks like that will be filled more or less pretty soon. I still need a dedicated translator just for this project (can be independent, doesn't have to join the group), but one of my translators can temporarily fill in if I still can't get one >_< (but I will still definitely need one).

I'm aware if a FH cleaner does the job, the cleaning test is can be negated, but I still need to put up samples to show the quality of raws they'll be working with.

Cleaner position filled. However, you can still apply to be a cleaner for the group as I need cleaners for the other projects the group is scanlating. Just do the cleaning test and submit it in to eternal@eternalmanga.net

Still looking for a Japanese->English translator...

I am looking for another cleaner for this project since the previous cleaner isn't responding to my e-mails nor PMs.

Please refer to this topic for the cleaning test.
