Crossposting this from /k/:
Would any of you be fluent in moonspeak or know anyone who is? I found out about the manga Desert Punk here (one of the most based manga ever imo), and right now they're looking for a Japanese to English translator. Because this is far from a mainstream manga and a seinen one at that (no furigana, aka pronunciation guides to make translation easier), they've been pretty hard up finding someone who is willing and able to do the work.
Link to their website is below.

I've got generic shounenshit and hentai commissions to do.
>>138809463
Out of curiosity, how much do you get paid per commission? What kinds of manga tend to pay the best?
>>138809256
could you post some raws?
I don't know this manga, but if I enjoy a chapter i'd consider picking it up.

If you want to do commissions hentai is the only real market. People charge anywhere from $1.50-$2.50 a page, cheaper will get you more business.
Pretty shit as a full-time job to be honest family.

Interesting. I always wanted to know, what kind of people actually put out money for an anon to translate hentai?
>>138809824
Some people just don't mind >paying for porn for some reason, bit crazy but oh well side cash for me.

How would he even know? It's not like he's meeting them face-to-face.
Was the anime for this any good?

Couldn't find raws (spent an hour scouring the net to no avail; only raws I found were from the last couple volumes and this is the kind of manga that you really have to read from the beginning to appreciate). Only luck I had was with the translated stuff all on mangareader.

Never seen it myself, but from what I heard it cut out and copped out the ending right when the politics was getting Game of Thrones tier in the manga.
>>138809256
you should ping the /ak/ translation guys, you're far more likely to get a response there
and yeah, don't use a fucking mangareader watermarked image next time
free bump because Desert Punk is magnificent
