I'd like to apply for translating Japanese>English

I'd be a little slow translating without Furigana, but I know I can do it.
I grew up speaking rough Japanese (I am mixed Japanese/American), and I've been studying it on my own since my late teens (about 5 years)

Anyway, I'd like to help if I can.

Thank you for applying. Already PM you =D

Hi, i want to apply the position for proofreader. It's my first time but i grew up in an english speaking environment so i'm pretty confident in my english.

Sent you an email. Let me know if you didn't get it.

hi, i'm interested in The Changeling but don't really mind.

hiiiiiii!! um I pm you on manga updates but you didnt reply yet so umm just to let you know! (I'm da-chan)

for some reason, I didn't get the PM O_O; There's nothing in my inbox at manga-updates. Could you send me again? or email works too.

Hello! I'm not sure if you're still looking for proofreaders, but if you've still got space I'd like to apply for the position. I'm a native speaker and my grammar's pretty decent, and I'd love a chance to mess around with the scripts. And, well, no katakana, but I might know enough Chinese to puzzle out some of the really simple kanji? =]

sent you an email =D

Not sure if you're still looking for people, but I'd be happy to apply for the QC/Proofreading position. Whichever you need the most. I do have previous experience with both (though not a whole lot). I work at another scanlation group as an Editor/QCer.

Whoops. I forgot to login. XD Sorry about that.

sent you an email. let me know if you didn't get it.

Nope, for some reason I didn't get it. D:

re-sent! check your junk box too. 'cuz it's sent by the board system, it may go there. If you still can't find it, please do let me know. I'll post the message here.

Sorry for inconvenience.
