To our faithful leader/founder – Mr. Death – HAPPY EARTHSTRONG! Or rather – Happy Birthday – from the entire staff at JAC and the fans (yes…you guys, say happy birthday or I’ll kill ya).

We, your not so faithful staff members, can never get enough of your douchebag ways and when you tell us the many ways you want to kill us or how we’ll die…it gives us this warm, fuzzy feeling that’s probably our blood being released after you stab us  that makes us appreciate you.

So to the guy who precleans everything (except Kurenai and Black Lagoon – my babies) and who is a little too obsessed with One Piece, Tegami Bachi and the Grim Reaper…we hope you live to see many many more years. MANY! Since we know how much you long to fully embrace your alias, we’ll cruelly wish that it evades you for a long time. We need you to preclean and typeset anyway.

XD

This note isn’t for all int’l scanlators of course. Just the ones who use JAC’s scans under the pretense it’s theirs.

We work hard to scanlate manga and myself in particular, work hard to redraw manga. Please don’t take JAC’s scans…erase the English and slap your translation in…then credit yourselves as if you edited the entire thing. It’s difficult for us to apply the ‘law’ to what we do, considering the legalities behind this ‘hobby’. But that does not give any of you the right to use our scans that way without even having the courtesy to say ‘Hey, I wasn’t the one who cleaned it.’

So in case it is said that JAC has never taken a stance on this, we’ll say it now: Our scanlations are not to be used by international scanlators.

If it’s raws that we alone have, then you can ask us and we’ll gladly provide you with it; after all it’s not only English-speaking people who can use photoshop. If you’d like to use the English translation, then we will link you to the translator and hell…we’d even ask them for you. There’s nothing wrong with working together.

So for future reference, please adhere to our request. Otherwise we’ll start watermarking our releases which is not something I really want to do.

Thank You.

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

For anyone who pays attention to the credits page, you’ll notice that his name is on almost every manga release we do. Many times he’s the only one listed under the ‘cleaner’ section. He is also the one responsible for hooking us up with the super translator js06 and all the newbies will tell you that he was the one who vigilantly trained them and provided them with scripts.

Ah well….Mikessc88 is a great guy and a valuable member of JAC, so you all should wish him a happy birthday or else Mr. Death and I will kill ya’ll.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE <3

Edit……
