F.A.Q.
1. How the hell are you doing this so fast?
Well, since it’s a one-man operation I can clean, translate, and edit simultaneously. I don’t have to worry about any downtime. Depending on what I’m working on, 20 pages will take anywhere from 2-4+ hours depending on how much text there is and whatever else needs to be done. I apologize in advance for crappy image quality. All I do is clean and level if necessary. I don’t know how to do stitching or anything. If you’re looking for super HQ scans, then wait for someone else to do them. If you want to use my text and make some HQ version of your own, I’m fine with that, just put my name down there somewhere and leave a note here to let me know.
2. I found an error in your translation / awkward grammar / typo.
Feel free to point them out. I’m only human, and at some point I want to go back and fix my mistakes.
3. Can I donate to you?
No need, your appreciation is payment enough for me. I’d rather you find some way you can support the series’ creator or artist. Thanks for your thoughts, though.
4. Can I recommend you something to do?
Feel free to leave a note here or something. If it interests me, I’ll try to get around to it. I’m not going to do guro or /d/ stuff.

It would be awesome if any one or all of the following can be done: Yotsuba&! Volume 9; the remaining chapters of the first Tetsuwan Birdy manga, 1985 series; My Girl (Sahara Mizu), the remaining chapters of Golden Boy. Please do let me know if you do take up any.
I’d also love it if you did My Girl (Sahara Mizu)
but great job on onani master, and thanks for doing that one
thanks for the onani master chaps :)
oh and as a suggestion “Holyland” is a good manga but scans are slow :(
Has anyone ever told you that you’re awesome? Because I just thought that I should you that you are. Thanks for the translations, I appreciate it.
thx for onani master releases xD
you done a really great job there xD
by the way, did you ever heard Imouto Wa Shishunki? it’s 4 koma manga, and it’s really funny (for me lol). peek a bit page, maybe you’ll have interest to translate it :D
Hey, would you like some help typesetting? I know it can be really annoying to have to go through translation and editing at the same time. If you’re interested, you can message me on aim (ravensteelbow) or through my e-mail.
Either way, thanks for working on all of this =D
Thanks for the offer, but I typeset and translate and clean simultaneously. It streamlines the process, and I find it more efficient; so, I probably won’t be needing any help. No offense, however! I really do appreciate your offer.
Haha, I thought it would probably be that. I’ve tried it before and thought it was a lot of work, so just thought I’d offer. No worries~
Nice job on Kurosawa, though I refuse to acknowledge it’s ending. One manga that /a/ constantly enjoys but still scans is Blood Alone, which pretty much at a standstill since v.4. OC scans released the first part of v.5. but that was months ago. If you could scan it, it would be great however, the raws are difficult to find.
Thanks so much for Onani Master. It’s seriously one of my favorite manga, and getting new chapters makes my day.
I don’t have any particular suggestions for other manga, but you seem to have good taste. Whatever you choose, I’ll be sure to read it. ^^
Thanks for translating OMK! It must be a lot of work for one person. If you have enough time to translate something else, you could try picking up The World God Only Knows/Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai. Red Hawk Scanlations is pretty slow at their work… =/
Good work at the Onani.
DUDE you’re a hero to Onani fans. yeah that looks wrong written out but whatever. I’ve been following Onani Master for a while now, thirsting for more chapters and lo and behold you somehow manage to crank out 6 chapters in 4 days. They are speaking your name over at Hidoi translations. Some fans love you, others think you are stealing thunder. I think you’re a god. Keep up the good work my lord and savior, Emergency Exit.
Many thanks for the releases for Onani Master Kurosawa.
I have a request, could you please look up to a manga named “Suicide Island”, Alternate Title: “Jisatsutou”? It’s very interesting and i really liked it but for some reason Red Hawk Scanlations dropped it leaving only 5 amazing chapters translated : (
If you’re not to busy do you think you could translate some chapters of Yandere Kanojo?
Also great work on Onanu Master, you are a god among scanlators
I really appreciate your work with fap note :P Keep up the good work
Hey. Is there an email address I can reach you from?
Just came back from my vacation and saw pleasantly surprised when I saw that someone had taken their time to translate Onani Master Kurosawa! Thank you a lot!! Up until now the translation have not been going anywhere.. and you just translated several chapters in a short period of time! Thank you, thank you! xD
P.S. Thank you! (A)
Be awesome if you could do Otaku no Musume-san since the group doing it is slowpoke and speed and picks up new projects every week while bitching about needing more translators.
On a whim, I ordered both volumes of Mizuiro Splash (see http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=11748) from Amazon.co.jp. I’ve done scanlations before, and want to do it again with these two volumes. But I need a translator. I’m cool with doing everything else.
Let me know if you’re at all interested. And thanks for picking up Onani!
Thanks for the fast scanlations. I really appreciate the hard work you put into your projects. I would think translations alone would be difficult already, but also editing the pages is really impressive. I’m sure you’ll gain many more fans in the near future.

Hi, I would first like to say thanks a bunch for translating ”Onani Master Kurosawa” , and i was wondering if you could possibly translate a Manga called ”Sense” You can even find the Raws here at Manga Helpers http://mangahelpers.com/m/sense .
Michelle~
You sir, are the benchmark of all scanlators. Extremely impressive scanlating/translations/quality :]
You rock!
Thanks a bunch for the onani series
Hi, maybe you could translate Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. The series is already completed, but the latest chapter I got is 188. And from wiki, it ends at chapter 202.
Either way, thanks a bunch for your work Kurosawa!
Edit: Either way, thanks a bunch for your work on Kurosawa!
XP
I’d like to finish reading ‘Me and The Devil Blues’ which got dropped years ago just because some american publisher picked it up…and the american publisher still hasnt released more than what was scanlated.
Also Himizu is another good option.
Thanks for Fap Note, bro.
You play online games? I got fed up of RO
check out GGPO, that is if you like fighting games
other than that, keep up the good work
thanks so much for the onani chapters man You Are The Best!!!!
Holy Shit!!! Such a great quality translations, and it is done just by one man and in such a short time!!!
It is a lot of hard work and I Respect you for doing it better and faster than pretty much any other translation group up there.
Keep up the good work, but don’t forget to take a break some time too ;)
I dont usually comment but thx for the fast releases. But remember sleep is important too :)
Ps.
If you were a girl i would have wanted to marry you :P
Would be awesome if you picked up “Saru Lock”, it’s so underrated. But heck, I’ll probably read w/e you pick up anyway. Your releases are delicious!
Yeah it would be awesome if you would pick Saru Lock,but i have another proposition-pick up Zetman (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=42)
Eather way its win/win situation ^^
PS
I must thank you for Onani Master Kurosawa-its a great pick
Mousou Shoujou Otakukei would be great if you did it. The last two volumes were left untranslated, and it’s a bloody great read.
Anyways, Thank you for your work on GTO and Onani. You are what people call “great” ^_^
Wait a minute, aren’t you the same dude uploading GTO on MAL? Or is that someone else?
I don’t know what MAL is :/
I was just wondering if there was any way I could donate some money to you for all your hard work. I love the story of onani master kurosawa and greatly appreciate all the work you’ve been doing.
hey, are u one man or one team?
Thanks so much for Onani Master, it is one of my favorite series, and being able to read a new chapter everyday make the experience much better. As this is one of my favorite mangas, i looked my list at other mangas that i love but are not being translated, and it would be awesome if you could finish anything by Asano Inio. Thanks for reading this whether or not you decide to do it
Dude, maybe its time to start a website, even a small/simple one… b’cause its just a blogsite…
Just like some oldman says: “we start from the smallest and finish on the biggest”
There’ll be more more more and many more people coming to more support you, yay… XD
Yay 2 more chapters for onani and the ending! thanks alot again emergency exit! ummm for your next project can you please continue GTO 14 days if it has been released. AGAIN YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got aim?
Would be great if you scanlated Bokura ga Ita =/
Latest chapter out is 48, and it’s currently on chapter 52 >,<
Nice work on Onanai btw
You’re a goddamn beast. I love it
You are a great man, thanks for the onani master chapters.
Thank you for all the scans you’ve done so far. I hope you continue such great work =)
dude, u’r awesome!!!!!
EE, great work on OMK. You’re like a one man army and the results of your work are just top notch. Since OMK is coming to an end i wanted to suggest “Wolf Guy – Ookami no Monshou” as your next series. It’s a seinen from the makers of Akumetsu, the art is fantastic and there’s currently 4 raw volumes out, all on mangahelpers. There’s currently 7-8 chapters translated by Iryuu but they release a chapter once a month or so. Please check it out, i hope you like it and pick it up. :)
Again, you have my greatest appreciation for your hard work, tyvm for Onani scans :)
Fellow Anons and scanlation group FwPA thanks your for your tireless, one-man efforts to scanlate Onani Master quickly and with quality.
tl;dr Good job, man.
mega thanks for the fap note
take a week of rest or two. you definitely deserve the long rest. just dont pay any mind to the scanlation/translation request by some of your fans…if they really is a true OMK fan, they know that patience is a virtue. and back in the old days, OMK releases are pretty much slower compared to other releases. shame on you people.
i’ve been following the series right from the start. for a long time. and i’d say you have been doing a great job. your quality is on par. and your speed is well, read above comments. you get no more flattery from me.
last, thanks again for the releases. now get yourself a new job and a nice girlfriend. if anything fails, get a maya purple card and get into hiding for a while. people will probably look for you day and night to get you to be their bitch in their team/scanlate a damn series for their pleasure. my advice : change and life live. just like the man Kurosawa. now thats a man.
regards,
alim sacred
just another RO player in this damn world trying to live his life just as hard as yours.
No, you’re much more than a beast. you’re a god.
MAL = MyAnimeList (.net)
Some dude uploads GTO on the forums the day it comes out. Really fast scans too.
Hi, I would first like to say thanks a bunch for translating ”Onani Master Kurosawa” , and i was wondering if you could possibly translate a Manga called ”Sense” You can even find the Raws here at Manga Helpers http://mangahelpers.com/m/sense .

Onani is a legend
Sense is meh…………..
Thanks again for ONANI MASTER,
thanks for the chapters you’er the man
I really want to thank you for finishing Onani Master Kurosawa, it started out as a hilarious parody type comic, but then near the last 6 chapters or so actually blossomed into a well developed comic that tried to personify real high school life, and I think it did it pretty well.
Anyway good luck to your future projects and thank you for this one.
Thank you for translating OMK,
I started reading OMK in end July, wishing that I knew of this manga earlier. But then again I would have to wait for chapters. :P
Goodluck to your future projects.

hi, i just wanted to say thanks for translating

hey man good job continue like this .
Thanks for the onani master kurosawa, could you possibly translate this ? http://mangahelpers.com/m/glass-no-megami
yeah glass no megami is good and also u should translate change 123 it has’nt been updated since 5 months ago
i waswondering if you might translate this next.

Hey there,
Seems like you’re a busy guy and you’ve probably already been swamped with suggestions about what manga to translate. Well I’d like to add to the list. There’s a manga called Ressentiment, simple put its about a 30 something virgin that lives in a bleak world where virtual reality exists. Stolen from anime news network site: “In 2015, AI development has reached the point where dating sims and the like are almost real. Takuro is a fat, balding loser who is feeling panicked by the onset of his 30s and lack of a woman. At his friend’s insistence, Takuro decides to give up on real women forever and take the VR plunge. What follows is not as planned, however, and leads Takuro questioning if VR is really the best thing.”
The first 2 volumes have been translated, but the last 2 have not. Excellent raws are available, no need for cleaning. I could probably go ahead and clear the speech bubbles and tidy things up, all that’s left is pure translation. If you’d like to take on the manga then send me an email.
Man, that manga is good, but it depresses the hell out of me.
-_- look to be blunt i dont care who trasnlates what, but ive gotta have my change 123 (its like driveing me crazy!!!) its now july and ive seen nothing so to help speed things up im willing to donate 50$ to the groop that gets me my change 123 (as in the latest ch45) and as a bounes deal ill continue to donate 25$ per every relase afterwords (as in ch 46 and on) to that groop.
NOTE: this is not a payment of survices just a insentive to get shit done -_-*
NOTE: aslo that the relase must be done on bouth mangafox.com and onemanga.com for me to notice -_-
NOTE: Reward will be given thru paypal only (so make shuer you have an account).
when its up ill contact you. FOOLMATRIX
Have you checked out Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo?
The scanlations are slow as hell, it has a great premise, and the first(only?) volume has been released.
I agree with the Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo guy. The people doing it currently are distributing it through IRC only/cool kids club and it’s impossible to get chapter 3.
http://mangahelpers.com/m/saitama-chainsaw-girl/raws/
Seems like it’s only a short 1-volume thing. I don’t want to jump into their way if there’s only a few chapters left, sorry – no offense to you guys or anything.
To be fair, I still haven’t gotten my mind completely set on any one series yet, so I’m still open for suggestions.
The problem with deciding on something is that I have to go back and read all of the previous material, especially if it’s something that’s currently in progress/halted. I can’t just jump in midway without knowing what I’m getting into, because that wouldn’t be fair to the readers or to the author.
At any rate, I’ve become a great deal more busy with real life things recently, so once I’ve finished with the OMK text, hopefully I’ll have figured out what I’m going to work on next.
Well, as I said in my previous post, “Suicide Island” looks like the perfect manga for you, only 5 chapters translated, Red hawk Scanlations drooped it. The manga has a very interesting story and makes us think about life in general.
Give it a try at least please.
How about akiba romance?
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=28422
Really interesting manga but only 2 chapters have been translated.
also as a follow up, 13 untranslated raw chapters
http://mangahelpers.com/search?q=akiba+romance
Please consider doing “Jouou” which is a seinen about the nightlife in Roppongi as a club hostess. It’s a rather unique series and it only has 3 chapters scanlated and that was 2 years ago. There is raws available all the way to the end of the series so there is no wait time for more new raws to come out. See if it catches your interests.

please translate the manga called change123 it a very good manga and me and other change123 fans would highly apperaticated if u could translate it for use
you’re awesome man
just wanna show my thanks
I got a suggestion: Gamble Fish. Its a psychological gambling manga, sort of like Kaiji. There are 60+ raw chapters but only 5 translated chapters. Its interesting to see how he does the tricks. Not sure if theres a fanbase for this manga but, if you take it up there probably will be. Thanks.
If you aren’t busy with another manga I have a suggestion for one: Wolf Guy – Ookami no Monshou. It is created by the same people who made Akumetsu, and trust me it is definitely better than Akumetsu it’s faster paced with a lot less dialogue to slow you down. The 11 chapters have been good so far and if you like werewolves, violence, and mature situations then you should translate this. I will post the link for the site that has the chapters:
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/wolf_guy_ookami_no_monshou/
The site with the raw chapters for, Guy – Ookami no Monshou is:
http://mangahelpers.com/m/wolf-guy-wolfen-crest/raws/
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE will you pick up Change 123 on mangafox.com?
You sir, have my utmost respect and gratitude. Not only are your solo efforts outstanding, but your commitment in bringing us OMK, deserves more than any words could ever express.
Onani Master Kurosawa is by far one of the best things I have ever read (and without you, this would never had been possible). Much like you said, apart from the fapping, it was indeed inspiring.
I truly thank you.
Kind reagards,
Getsu
hey, just wanted to say that, if you plan on ever starting a new project, then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND scanlating “Hakaiou Noritaka” please, it’s a great a manga that has been abandoned since the beginning of the year, so I hope you can work on it if you ever plan to start a new project! keep up the great work with the recent releases, though.
Hi! Thank You for the wonderful GTO: Shonan 14 Days scans!! Keep up the awesome work. ^__^
Really, thanks for your hard work esp. GTO: Shonan 14 Days!
Hi I really appreciate your dedication in the mangas. Thank you. I was just wondering if it is possible to make the raw version of GTO shonan 14days available? I can’t seem to find them anywhere.
Thank you.
First off thank you for your awesome releases, my friends and I greatly appreciate it. The second thing is that I was wondering if you could work on a series called Sumomomo Momomo. Its about Quote from Baka-updates
“Koushi Inuzuka is heir to an ancient family tradition of powerful bushido martial arts. Unfortunately for his father, Koushi wants absolutely nothing to do with such dangerous things. His goal is to become an avenging prosecuting attorney, turning him into a bookworm that his father simply can’t understand. Still, Koushi finds a great deal of comfort both in his studies and in the structure of law.
Until the day that Momoko Kuzuryu, daughter of another great house, drops into his life and demands that he, the last scion of the strongest family of bushido martial arts, sire a baby with her.
From that moment on, Koushi is forced to think and act faster than ever before as ever-stronger opponents appear to challenge him. The race to stay alive hinges on unlocking memories from his suppressed past and, possibly, unleashing his forgotten physical courage. And somehow, at the center of all those memories, stands Momoko.
How can a wimpy bookworm survive the attention of skilled assassins for long? Then again, his opponents are discovering that some forms of strength have nothing at all to do with muscles or techniques…”
The anime adaption was very good but covered only half of the entire series. The group that was scanlating this released one chapter and broke apart. It’s been 3 years since the last release and I’ve been praying for someone to take it up again. I would really appreciate it if you even just consider it.
Hi,
I’m a frensh translator who translates your work from english to frensh, i juste wanted to say how much your work is appreciated ( Excuse me for my bad language, i know how to translate, not how to speak :P )

Hello,
I just wanted to say that i will use your translation for the gto tankoban since i only know how to clean & typeset >_>
like you said in the first part “if you want to use my text and make some HQ version of your own, I’m fine with that, just put my name down there somewhere and leave a note here to let me know.”
so i assume it would be okay not to wait for ur reply, and i will put ur name in the credits,
thanks
Thank you so much for the Onani scans. You are really awesome!!!
I wish you the best luck on whatever you are doing right now but do hope that you would come back some day. ^_^

Good job translating parts of Onani Master Kurosawa for Batoto.net! Such a life changing manga @)
It’s more well-done than the other translations onsite :)
You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation however I in finding this topic to
be really something which I feel I might by no means understand.
It seems too complicated and very extensive for me.
