Another thing i would like to change around here is the pace of the releases. I know we’ve been unpredictable at best when it comes to release times, and i’d like to change that. For spiral alive, it’s just started up again, and runs in a monthy manga magazine so we’re not that far behind at all. For Spiral though, the series finished at 15 volumes, that’s a lot of work ahead of us.

So yeah, here at Inane we do have our reliable spiral editor Shin, our wonderful spiral translators Siobhan and Geng, and our own scans up to volume 8 (and tanks up to 12), but it would be even faster if we had another editor and translator working on spiral. To that end i’m looking for:

A skilled translator- Spiral’s got furigana and it’s not difficult to translate, but i’d like someone to help us out who can do a chapter every 2 weeks. In the past, we had no deadlines, and mostly it just ended up having lots of potential translators drop out on me. So please, you need to be able to fit translating into your schedule. And of course you need to be a fluent english speaker as well as having a good grasp of japanese.

Experienced editor- in the past i had more time, enough to teach newbies how to edit. Unfortunately, I don’t anymore, so to apply, please email me some samples of your editing work to aliera[at]gmail.com, particularly redrawing backgrounds or double pages. Something that shows your skill at their best. And again, while Spiral is not too difficult to edit, you do need some commitment.

And if you have any questions, don’t hesistate to leave a comment here or email me~
