More on the topic of scanlations, I’ve recently searched the web to find some resources that’ll help me get a better hang of things. I must admit that I was overwhelmed by the resources I’ve found and I had to pick the best ones. Makes me want to translate the japanese manga I bought myself. ^^ Oho, as if I could trust my japanese skills that far. ^^”

• Idiot’s Guide to Editing Manga - a resource goldmine for newbies. It has step by step instructions on everything. ^^ I’m going to spend hours browsing through this site.
• Japanese Sound Effects - Aha! Finally, I get to understand what all those special effects mean. I was reading manga and I couldn’t help but scratch my head when a bunck of “do” characters keep popping up.^^
• Some japanese dictionaries, especially for those dreadful kanjis; both online and for download - Coolest.com, JWP, and Wakan (one I personally use)

So that’s about it. *rolls up sleeves*I better start practicing for this new endeavor. ^^

Michan was kind enough to teach me the basics of editing scanlations and I won’t say I’m thrilled at the results (it’s a bit crooked). I just hope I can get used to it soon so I can start *shining wide eyes of excitement* If you want to see a sample of my very first edited scanlation, you can look for your self go here. It’s for the manga series Boku ni Natta Watashi. Translations for it are to follow.

The fact that I have reading and watching nothing but Ouran High School Host Club these past few days might be the reason for the current update. *rolls eyes* But it really is a funny series, both manga and anime, which is great news indeed because most of the time, one or the other turns out quite disappointing.

I’m having great plans for Ouran Host Club already. The sound of the wheels in my mind running can’t seem to stop. ^^
