  • Recruitment

    Hello fans and leechers,

    I am here to announce that we are recruiting for the JAC again…

    Instead of recruiting people to work on every release, we will be recruiting people for a team for the series we do…

    So the teams we will have will be divided as following:

    1. Bloody Monday ( Have to be available every week)
    2. Tegami Bachi/Ao No Exorcist ( Have to be available when the raws are released for the month)
    3. Shin Prince of Tennis (Beginning of the month normally, maybe middle)
    4. Kure-nai ( This team depends on if Ivory-sama will take you on)
    5. Sengoku Basara 3 /Ultimo (These are series that we are really behind on so you show up whenever you can and clean 5 to 10 pages then you can leave or comeback whenever)

    Now with the Bloody Monday team raws normally arrive on Friday night or Early Saturday morning so we would need you during those time until the job is complete which shouldn’t take long if we have enough cleaners.

    Now the rest of the Teams are mostly monthly which is why we aren’t requiring ya to be here every day, but I would like a way to be able to contact ya when raws arrive and such…

    If ya choose to try, join and register and make a thread on the JAC Forums , while ya are training it would be nice if ya can join us on IRC , but if you can’t be sure to update your thread. When you make the thread give us a brief statement on your experiencing on Photoshop, also the country or state you are living and Timezone. Please include the team you plan on joining; you can join up to 2 teams and 3…after we see you are staying long term and your skill has improved..

    We are only looking for cleaners and re-drawers (Bloody Monday chapters always require redraws); we may open up recruitment for Typesetting at a future time. So please apply if you want to, if not go to hell…

    MRD

    From Ivory-chan~: For the time being, I’m fine with working on Kurenai and Black Lagoon by myself. Please help us by giving more love to our other series. <3  *^_^*

  • Status on Karakuri Douji ULTIMO

    Hey fans,

    I want to apologize for my treatment of this awesome series lately. I do have a bunch of back issues of Raws to scan, but have been holding off as I do not have the time currently to translate it. I know, I know…you ask “But you translate Shin Prince of Tennis, why not ULTIMO?” Because Ultimo is much wordier and much longer and I can’t translate it in my sleep like I can with Prince of Tennis.

    If you are a translator and are willing to take over translation duties of this series for me, I will gladly scan the RAWs and send them to you!
    However, unless said translator can take over for me, This series is on hold until I have more free time. Sadly, I am no longer a young and fresh university student with hours upon hours of free time and have to work 8 hours of my day with a 1.5 hour commute distance to my office….that means 11 hours of my day no longer exist anymore….

    So, sadly, this means I don’t have time for translating this series as of this time. JAC will still do it if we can get translations, however until then it will be on hiatus.

    Luckily, Viz has currently caught up with where I have left off ^^;; I’ve even been told their translations are not bad! If you really need your fix, please read the official releases.

    If you are a translator and you are interested, please make a comment here or send me an email directly to saitheshaman@shamannet.com

  • Looking for Staff 3

    We are again looking for new staff, hopefully experienced cleaners and re drawers will apply.

    JAC is always looking for new recruits. From cleaners to typesetters, redraws and translators. If you feel like you are up to the challenge send us and email at  jac.scans@gmail.com or visit us on #jacgroup @irchighway. Any questions please state them here.

    Also we are willing to train you in cleaning, redrawing or typesetting, we can also try to hook you up with photoshop if you dont have it.

    For those have have photoshop and would like some tutorials go here: http://senbonzakura.kageyoshi.net/beginners-start-here/

    Also we do prefer that you just sign in on IRC and say you want to join. if you dont have irc, download it  here: DL:IRC

  • Black Lagoon Hiatus

    …well considering there was no chapter last month, there is none this month and there will be none in August – its probably safe to say its on hiatus.

    But lookee here for those in the Western Hemisphere:  BL Vol 9 for $9.35. 😀

  • JAC is Recruiting New Members

    If we haven’t said it enough, J.A.C. is open to all types of scanlating positions. We mainly need more translators, typesetters, and cleaners at the moment. I recently setup a cleaning tutorial of all the things you’ll need to know how to do to clean for us, it’s rather very simple. We will still test you.

    To view the cleaning video please click this link.

    *Sorry for not providing a direct download, didn’t have time to upload it elsewhere.

  • Manga on YouTube

    If you stream our manga on youtube (or anywhere else), I swear I’ll pull your forehead through your ass! What the hell is our release doing…in Spanish…on youtube?!

    Seems we need to remind the international community again. Just because you can’t speak English doesn’t mean you can’t clean!

    If you want the raws, we’ll give it. If you want the translation…we’ll link you to the translator. Once more I am asking that international scanlators comply with our request and not use our scans. Don’t give me BS that we don’t own it…that’s obvious and your head must be in your ass if you think we can’t see that we’re not mangakas. So we don’t need the logical explanation bull. Clean it yourself and leave our scans alone. This disclaimer will now be on all our credit pages.

    On behalf of all the staff members and unknowing fans we wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kushi. You’re so awesome and I wish I could give you a huge cookie for hosting so many MBs of information free of charge. We love your cute zetsuboushita tushie. <3 <3 Have a great day~! XD

  • We have a forum ^^

    It took one of our newest members – Zantetsuken, to set up one for us because honestly, us regulars are just a bit too lazy for that kind of thing. -_-‘

    Please access it here

    It is very new so feel free to make suggestions etc. We’re looking forward to seeing all of you there. This blog will remain what we use for our releases, however the forum is good for discussions and I guess we’re a little more official now… haha. XD

    Thanks for the effort Zantetsuken. Now that it’s up we’ll do our best to help maintain it. (Yay…I’m finally an admin on a forum. I wonder what kind of mischief I can create ^^)
