Hi! I’m just a university student who happens to know a little Mandarin. Currently, I am translating Cupid’s Chocolates (爱神巧克力). First drafts (in google slides) will be posted as soon as they are done, and links to proper scanlations on mangadex will be posted some time after. Since my Mandarin is decidedly not perfect, first drafts might go through revisions as I learn more/realize what I did wrong over time, so please excuse me for whatever mistakes I make here and there. Scans posted to mangadex will be done so only after I’m reasonably confident about the translation.
Special thanks to my mom (LOL) for helping me with the particularly hard sentences!
Current projects:
Hakoiri Drops (redrawing from ch. 44)
Workflow:
I get raws from manhuagui. Fairly sure it downgrades image quality, but it’s much easier to download from compared to ac.qq.
I use this greasemonkey script to batch download .webp images from manhuagui. Should probably note that I didn’t write this and (aside from a very brief look at the source code) can’t vouch for its safety. Use at your own risk.
UPDATE 4/3/18: not sure when they made the change, but apparently manhuagui has begun using the “X-Frame-Options” header to prevent their content from being embed into iframes. I’m not sure whether or not this was targeted at scripts like the one above (which uses iframes to download images) or just at “normal” embing, but in any case, you’ll need something like this to get around it now.
UPDATE 4/5/18: above workaround is only needed for versions 2.8 and below.
I use a batch script and ffmpeg to convert the .webp images to .jpgs.
I use GIMP to redraw/typeset.
