I wouldn't say they are stupid questions, but expect to be trolled a bit for them.  Personally, my plate is quite full for some time to come.

Are you a cleaner and/or redrawer?  If you can clean or redraw manga and are willing to work for it, the chances of a title you like getting done improve.

Hetakoi (autor NAKANO Junko)
Kono S o, Mi yo! (autor KITAZAKI Taku) <- i read this to volume 8 or 9 some months ago i think
i read them all and like them quite a bit, but to be honest, taking up more projects while we lack cleaner severely is not a move we will make.
If you can find us some cleaners and typesetter for the manga, i can take on one of the manga. (probably hetakoi)

Mangatraders is fine. They offer downloads directly from their server and doesn't compress the page to shitty quality like mangafox. So they are cool. One thing i don't like about them is that i have to have an account to download, so i still prefer Mangaupdates to get my dose.

So, how many made that? I mean, people requesting this shit?

The readers always think there will be a new scanlator stepping up the plate when one goes down, but that's not true.
This is the perfect example!

They should know their position a bit better.

prozess, they came to us asking to do it (it would be another matter if it's someone ask us from a mangafox forum), we can refuse or accept, and here at japanzai, if someone likes it (in this case, read it as me as i do read hetakoi and like it) and other members like it too (Aztec asked to edit it). We can take on it but the problem is that we don't have editors...but yeah, if readers take it for grant too much, then we drop it without a sweat. So do we lose anything? I doubt that.
@gospel2k: nah, you don't have to find raw or anything, if the group takes on the manga then we will buy the raw.

Doesn't change the fact that people go around everywhere and request this series.
Aside that alone here the request was made 4(?) times, other groups get the same requests.

It's a good lesson for them.

mmm to be honest, i was a bit disgusted at some random leechers in that link from 4chan you gave earlier about "who cares, some other people will pick it up anyway"...that's definitely an ungrateful and awful thing to say, but i hope that's not the general attitude in the manga community. Either way, we can choose to drop it anytime we want so I still insist on doing hetakoi (need editors though)

If you take the "majority" as "general", then it surely is the general idea.
Sadly only a small fraction of the readers actually gives a fuck about what we do. The other, about 90%, just want their manga fix. ASAP

well yeah, but at least the majority of that 10% is here in this forum. That's why we can accept it (as i said, request in mangafox forum and the likes are immediately shot down). Still there are some fans from hell who love flaming and shit, for this case, let's do this: we got flamed for hetakoi, we will drop it without hesitation and let another group to take on it. Agree?
