Mankin-Trad is always looking for more help so that we can get more releases out faster than ever before! Look below for what jobs are open!

Japanese -> English Translator:

- We need a translator which has a good grasp on the Japanese language. We will provide all RAW manga scans. For more info contact andysislands or BadS. Possible projects are Jyuki Ningen Jumbor, Shaman King, Smash Bomber, or other un-started projects.

JumpSQ RAW provider:

- We need somebody who personally purchases JumpSQ monthly (starting in March 2008) and is willing to provide HQ scans of new Shaman King chapters every month to be used for scanlations. We don't need somebody who will use the copies that are already on the internet. These RAW scans will also be cleaned and may be released without scanlating as a service to provide better RAWs to the community. Contact andysislands or BadS.

RAW cleaner:

- Are you good at cleaning pages from JumpSQ? In order to make our monthly releases (of new SK chapters starting in March 2008) look better, we could use some help! Contact andysislands or BadS. This position will require a test, to make sure the RAWs will meet our standards.

Additional File hosting:

- In order to keep speeds at tip-top speeds, the more servers we have hosting the files the better. If you are running your own server or have purchased a server plan from a hosting provider and wish to help some Shaman King or Jyuki Ningen Jumbor fans, contact andysislands or Kami. Your server will need to be able to run anti-hotlinking scripts.

V-Jump RAW provider:

- The first step in doing Smash Bomber scanlations is getting the scans. We need the "How to" of Smash Bomber from V-Jump. Contact andysislands or BadS if you could provide this scan.

Butsu Zone Color pages:

-There is only a handful of Butsu Zone chapters which had color pages. If you have $20 to spare, a good scanner, and can order items from Yahoo! Auctions Japan (with a credit card) contact andysislands or BadS and we can attempt to help you aquire the scans. Depending on how good your scanner is and your ability to scan, will determine if you need to "splice" the Weekly Jump volume (as in cut the pages away from the magazine).
