I left the Dance! Subaru volume up with the thought that readers would get a chance to refer to the raws, but the raw was taken down the very next day! I'm cursed! I guess I'll leave the translation up regardless. Seems like the odd ten or so readers keep peeking at it everyday.
I'll take the removal of Japanese raws as a sign to go low key and distribute translations to a small, select, and intimate audience. I was going to do that anyways, sign or no sign. It'll be more and more like the old way of doing things - like back in 2004!
Farewell!https://mangahelpers.com/t/unproductive/releases/21737Closing Up Shop2010-04-19T06:59:36+00:00Unproductiveadmin@mangahelpers.comMy plan is to close down the account over the next few weeks, delete most of the translations and archive them online independently.
While doing a bit of clean up before I get started on a really really long translation project, I was thinking how this useful this has been during the translation exercise, and it hasn't been much use at all. At first I thought I was going to post up the whole proofreading exercise, but I got away from that and kept it private. I started combining more and more steps and did more and more of before I posted the "raw" version. Keeping track of versions and then mirroring edits online was more of pain than I had thought.
Then there was the possibility that readers could comment and help on writing and the such, but readers hardly did that. The best help was for the early chapters of Natsu no Zenjitsu. There was also the possibility that scanlators might take advantage of the particularly liberal use policy and proofread and rewrite the script to make it better; if the writing turned out really well, I could enjoy it even more than my own work or something like that. However, the few that scanlated either took the script verbatim or depended on me to make necessary corrections and the result was always unsatisfying in someway. That wasn't what the liberal use policy was intended to do.
I thought I might feel out the community for good proofreading and writing talent, but that effort never got off the ground. I ended up fighting my battles with proofreaders who were too inconsistent with vital rules or with proofreaders who were too pedantic about grammar - the same battle I've been fighting ever since I joined the community. Over time, I compiled a series of notes on prescriptions for expressing certain ideas and meanings in English. Maybe that will eventually attract some talent or perhaps be useful to someone.
In the order that they that will eventually be taken down: Shima Shima, Piano no Mori, Giant Killing, Mizu to Gin, Natsu no Zenjitsu, Mugen-tou, Hakui no Kanojo. I'll probably leave Subaru up.https://mangahelpers.com/t/unproductive/releases/21487Translation: Subaru Volume 12010-04-11T10:20:41+00:00Unproductiveadmin@mangahelpers.comSubaru Volume 1 Hospital Ward Giselle Soda Masahito Rendered by Unproductive

Preface Translation Notes: Done in MS Word. The translation will only be of this volume in the series to test out writing some childish dialogue and because I’m a sucker for tearjerkers. I cleaned up some loose ends. The juxtaposition is quite notable throughout the volume. I hope all of it came out well enough.

Mom: Kazuma’s… Mom: No… it’s nothing at all. Never mind Kazuma. How can you think only about yourself at time like this.
Subaru: because Kazuma’s sick and there’s nothing I can do about it. So I’ve always held back on lots of things for Kazuma’s sake. Subaru: This is the first time I’ve asked to do what I want!!
Mom: Because Kazuma can’t do a thing he wants!!!
