Hmmmm, hello. I would like to apologize for all spelling / grammar / rudeness / anything that I could say in this post.
Let's explain the whole thing. I've been searching to find someone to translate Karakuri Circus, a manga from Kazuhiro Fujita, which has ended a few years ago, and has been a very great manga in Japan, but never translated until the end in any other country.
I'm French, and in France, the manga ended dramatically last month. Volume 21st. Out of 43. What a shame, French people don't like this. In my opinion, it's just a lack of advertising from the people providing the manga. But hey, it's not about me, here.
Why you ? 'cause I've been translating into French D Gray Man for quite a long time now and that's been with your translations. And you're good.
Nevertheless, after reading the post to make translators work for "me", I'll try a different approach this time. First, Karakuri Circus, what is it ?
It's a manga about Narumi Kato, who have a strange disease. The Zonapha. If he doesn't succeed in making other people laugh, he'll die. You would have understand it, Karakuri's funny.
It's a manga about a type of human called Shirogané, fighting against autamaton, alive by the power of the Aqua Vitae. And these people are Puppet Masters. Yeah. Karakuri kicks asses.
It's a manga about death and sorrow. Automatons brings death all around them by either killing people. Either making them have the Zonapha. Which is quite a problem to the human community. Karakuri's sad.
It's a manga, though a shonen, with an enormous complexity. Some characters from the very start of the manga will reappear after several volumes and they won't be as useless as before. Makes me remind of One Piece when a character like Garp appears juste to be a background character and then... Well everyone know, I hope ^^ ( yeah One Piece's my favourite manga EVER ).
That's it. I can't tell so much about it, because it's part of the story and I wouldn't like to spoil you this manga.
If you would please try to read the first volumes, and then tell me what you thought about it, I would be very happy. If you're willing to translate the end of the thing ( from the 22nd to the 43rd or less ), I would be honoured. There is a huge community of French fans waiting for someone to keep with it, and... There is still nothing. If you want more details about the manga, just ask it and I will try to answer you.
Then, for the team that will make it, I already have people that can clean the thing, edit the scans, and we even have a website on it, with forum and everything. We just lack of translations ><

Last thing but not least, Karakuri Circus really begins with the 7th volumes. The three first volumes are a first part, then three an other and then comes the 7th with the beginning of what's truly is Karakuri Circus. It can't be explained by words, this manga is really amazing for a shonen.
Please take a look at it and make me know your impressions. Thank you for reading this.
