1. Why are there 3-chapter gaps in your releases?! Where can I download the rest?
We are currently collaborating with another group, Yankee Goon Scans. We have agreed to each release 3 chapters in alternation. You can download their chapters at their website, here. (I also post their links on our Releases page.)
2. When is the next chapter coming out?
Frequency of releases largely depends on staff availability and the amount/difficulty of the redraws in the chapters. If you want faster updates, come help us out with the redrawing.
3. Who’s doing the next chapter?
Check here. If the chapter has a [YG] tag next to it, that means it’s being released by Yankee Goon.
4. Are you recruiting?
YES!!! We’re looking for:
Cleaner applicants: you can either send us a sample of your past work, preferably in .psd format (they must have redraws otherwise your application will most likely be discarded), OR take our test.
You can download the test pages here: Page 1 & Page 2
Test Instructions: You must remove all Japanese text, including the sound effects, and replace it with art. Please do this on a separate layer, with the background layer untouched. Note that we are only interested in seeing your redrawing skills. Send us back the files in .psd format.
Also! If you’re a total noob but would still like to help out with the redraws, these sites can help get you started. Practice until you’re comfortable, then try your hand at the test.
To apply, drop us an email. All that we ask is that you be reliable. Please only apply if you’re really going to stick around!
4. Can I upload your releases to [insert manga sharing website here]?
Sure. Link back to us if you can.
5. Can we re-translate your scans to another language?
Feel free to use our scripts, but be aware that translations of translations are generally a very, very bad idea.
6. I really want to contribute, but I don’t have any skills. Do you accept donations?
No.
7. How can I contact you?
The fastest way to reach us is to send us an email at mahouxscans@gmail.com. You can usually expect a reply within 48 hours. We’ll answer anything — including inquiries about the next release — provided you’re nice about it. :)
