FAQs

1. Can I share it on my blog/community/tumblr/LJ/other sites?
Sure! We don't believe in restricting access to our releases, so if you like something we've done feel free to post it wherever. A couple of things, though: if you're sharing something of ours, please try to link back to our blog - we want people to come here and enjoy our other releases as well. Please also leave the credits intact. Finally, we'd rather people used our own download links: there's no point in re-uploading a release if we have it online already, and we sometimes regularly need to issue corrected versions of chapters and things like that. Our own links will always be the most up-to-date versions of the files.

1.5 Can I link to this site on my blog &c.?
Yes! Please do.

2. Can I retranslate a project?
Of course! First of all, you can check to see if someone's already working on a project in your language here. If what you want to work on hasn't been taken yet, please let us know you're interested in it at acmedanmail [@] gmail.com. If we scanned the title ourselves, we usually say yes. If we didn't scan the title, we'll redirect you to the scanner so you can get their permission to use the scans. Once you do, you're free to use the pages, edits and translations that we did. We also ask that you leave our credits in the release just so that people will know where to find the English versions.

3. What happens if a project gets licensed?
Please cease all distribution of the title's scanlation and support the mangaka when it gets released! In fact, support them by buying their raws if you can, even before they get licensed. There are useful guides elsewhere to the mysteries of ordering things from Japan.

4. Can I request a manga?
Go ahead! There's a few things to be aware of, though: we won't take on anything which is licensed, owned by certain litigious publishers or already taken by another group. We also need decent raws available in either French or Japanese, and most of all the manga has to actually catch our interest. We do seriously consider all the recommendations we're given, though, and we've acted on a few of them.

5. When is the next chapter of X coming out?
"As soon as possible" is the best answer we can give, unfortunately. We always try our best to make the gaps between releases as short as possible, but complications and difficulties will inevitably appear sometimes. Series which are serialised in magazines are especially susceptible to delays, and some things just don't have new chapters very often. We don't like to give estimated completion times for these reasons and because we're lazy. If you're really concerned about something, email us and we'll try to let you know what's going on.

6. How do we contact you? 
Preferably by email - acmedanmail[ @ ]gmail.com. If you leave a comment on one of the posts we'll probably see it but email is much more reliable.

Thank you for dropping by and enjoy reading these stories!

    1. No wooorries, you reminded me to update the FAQ actually.

      As of the moment we have a fair bit we're already working on, as well as a few we're planning to work on, so we won't be able to respond to most requests but feel free to leave suggestions.

      If it catches our interest, no one's already working on it, it's not licensed and decent raws are available in either French or Japanese then we'll consider it.

      Unfortunately we won't be able to pick up LAAGM because (fortunately!) it's been picked up by kingyo_mint @LJ and one of MIAB's old translators.

  8. Um, if you guys are ever free to work on something new and might be interested, I've been wanting to read Polaris Bell (/series.html?id=18364) over all the other untranslated manga cluttering up my BakaUpdates wishlist for awhile.

    I have no scans to offer, though, so it's fine if you don't want to go through the effort, but I thought I'd throw the name in there.

    1. Argh, sorry--I didn't mean to make the "taking money out of one's own pocket to buy copies" sound as dismissive as it does now that I'm rereading what I wrote; I'm quite grateful for your efforts thus-far in bringing fun/sweet/intriguing/painful and possibly overlooked manga into the limelight! They're a blast to read, and I myself have especially been charmed by the works of Hayakawa Nojiko and Hideyoshico.

    2. Ah, it looks like it got licensed by DMG. We'd really not get in a tangle with them (and I've just literally listed up all our planned projects, and whoo, it's a long list for such a small team), so I don't think it would be possible. ;_; Thank you for following us and your kinds words, though! They're highly appreciated.

  9. Hey guys, just a quick message to tell you how much I love your team and your projects...

    I swear I downloaded your entire project lists because the stories you select are just so good and completely the type of BL mangas I would like to see more often!

    I realise you must be working your asses off since the quality (and quantity!) of releases is so high so really, thank you for your dedication and your presence in the BL fandom, which really needs some new blood. Thank you thank you thank you

  12. Hi, Im one of those lurkers that you never see but i just wanted to thank you so much for choosing such awesome projects. It's great to see more of these kinds of bl.

    Just wondering, would you guys consider more of MIAB's unfinished projects?like Yume Mita Shuumatsu and count 0? Im not sure if there are raws available that fit your criteria though but i just wanted to ask for future reference.

    1. Yume Mita Shuumatsu was taken up by DMG.

  15. (Sorry for the weird name, it's in greek;P)

    Hey guys!

    A huge thank you for your amazing job and for bringing us these amazing projects, I can never, ever, get enough of them! Your effort has made Hayakawa Nojiko and Hideyoshiko two of my most favourites and I truly find myself in anticipation for the chapters to come:) Which is why I'd like to ask, is Hideyoshiko's Kanemochi-kun to Binbou-kun anywhere in the list of your future projects? If it was, that'd be great!

    Thank you again guys, wish you all the best!

    3. HTML editing, RSS feeds, choice to have no ads, the list could go on. Not to mention, it's what we first chose and are now most comfortable with.

    1. I think they released a chapter quite a few months ago but it's likely that it's down now: they dropped the project since it's been licensed by DMP.

  29. Thank you so much for scanlating titles by Hayakawa Nojiko and Hideyoshico and choosing unconventional themes like in Koketsu Dining and Dame BL >.<

    ummm..is there also a possibility that you will scanlate the oneshots in Mauri to Ryuu by Moto Haruco/Moto Haruhira? :)
    One of them, Tokoharu no Kariudo is already scanlated in english and Meguri Yuku Mono is scanlated in French by teamfairyrose..I hope that you will pick up the remaining two oneshots :D

    anyways, thanks a lot!
