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
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?
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.6. How do we contact you?
Thank you for dropping by and enjoy reading these stories!
Thank you as always for not being scanwhores and hiding your releases behind a goddamn iron curtain of ego-inflation!
ReplyDelete^ THIS!!! thank you so much for all your hard work, acme!!
DeleteI SECOND THIS. I also want to say that I appreciate how fast this group scanlates and damn you guys release some quality works >.<
DeleteJust finished udagawachou and I adore it!
<333333
I'm a big fan of, "My High School Teacher is a Pervert"! So can I make some fanart about it and post it in my blog? - I'll surely link back to this site.
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to, go ahead! Also pretend this reply isn't really late.
DeleteI love you guys forever and ever. and ever
ReplyDeleteBut we don't love you forever
DeleteWe love you 5ever
DeleteThis scanlation is the just the next sweetest thing since the invention of nutella.
DeleteI second the anon commentor above. Maji-desu..
Delete*thumbing up*
Could I ask if you are accepting manga? I'm sorry if this has been asked before
ReplyDeleteNo wooorries, you reminded me to update the FAQ actually.
DeleteAs 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.
You are quite possibly the loveliest and kindest scanlation group that I have ever seen. Your site also is beautiful. Thank you for being so sweet and refreshing to the scanlation world. :)
ReplyDeleteO-oh, gosh. Thank you for your kind words! We try our best. :)
DeleteWe couldn't agree more :)
DeleteYou guys are amazing! I especially love Yozora no Sumikko de :D Amazing job and thank you for everything you do<3
ReplyDeleteI am now going to whisper a request into your lovely ears- Lies are a Gentleman's Manners by Marta Matsuo~ ;)
Aww shucks, we appreciate it :D
DeleteUnfortunately 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.
Wow~ that's awesome news! thanks for the update! :D
Deletethank you so much for translating these wonderful yaoi mangas
ReplyDeleteUm, 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
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.
DeleteAh, 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.
DeleteHey guys, just a quick message to tell you how much I love your team and your projects...
ReplyDeleteI 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
thank you for the great releases
ReplyDeletethank you so much, guys!
ReplyDeleteyou translate awesome stories, at least one girl from russia loves you! ♥
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.
ReplyDeleteJust 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.
Yume Mita Shuumatsu was taken up by DMG.
DeleteCount 0, we'll see if it interests the staff when we get more stuff out of the way :D
hey KG y dont u reply 2 mi ;_;
DeleteI was wondering why this page looked so familiar then I noticed why.
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what font you use for your yozora credits page? (I believe it's the same font as your logo).
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
It's called The Great Escape
Delete(Sorry for the weird name, it's in greek;P)
ReplyDeleteHey 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!
I have a question; are you guys planning on getting a tumblog? I would follow you in a heartbeat...
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm your big fan ヾ(^∇^) thanks for all your hard work, I love your scanlations/translations of Nojiko sensei's and Hideyoshico sensei's mangas ko much (´∀`)♥
ReplyDeleteI want to ask do you guys have any plan to do Tsuda memo? ;__; I really want to read it ;__;
and how is your Yozora no Sumikko de going, I kinda miss them (●´∀`●)
Ps: why dont you try using Twitter or Tumblr? It will be easier for us fan to follow or to contact with you, so try (●´∀`●)
thank you again and I love you guys so much (●´∀`●)
psst
Deletewe are totally doing them like
right now
like
both of them
shh don't tell anyone i told you this
re this and the comment above, we've no plans for a tumblr, a twitter or anything else. We'd rather keep everything on this site rather than have to take care of a couple, sorry. If you've got any questions you can ask them here or contact us via email, and we'll do our bests to get back to you.
Deleteoh that's so, sorry..(=xェx=)
Deleteand rep to Lenny: really? hurayy thank you guys so muchhh(。⌒∇⌒)。 I'm really looking forward to you trans I'll go checking your site everyday\(@ ̄∇ ̄@)/ thank you thank you~~~
Do you have a Live Journal?
ReplyDeleteNope! See above comment related to Twitter and Tumblr, it's the same concept.
DeleteWe do post releases to yshare from time to time (although I haven't done so in a while).
Ljs is so easy (T-T) anyway why do you prefer blogspot over Live Journals?? that is how I found you from your posts on yshare! also add my vote to the count0 manga being continued by you its awesome (b'‿')b
DeleteHTML 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.
DeleteVote noted :D

ReplyDeleteHai, i was wondering if you can translate a manga called Ore no Mono ni Narinasai by Ruri Fujikawa?
ReplyDeleteHi, we've asked among ourselves and we've decided it isn't quite our cup of tea, sorry. Thanks for your interest.
DeleteAbout Lies are a Gentleman's Manners, I know you said someone has picked it up already but do you know where are they going to release it?
ReplyDeleteIt's just that as far I know Kingyo's LJ is private.
Anyway, thank you for all your amazing work <3 you guys rock!
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.
DeleteI love your manga choices... shouen-ai's by Hayakawa Nojiko just makes my heart flutter ^^ it's so pure!
ReplyDeleteThank you, as always, for your hard work! I look forward to your next updates! ^^*
Thanks for the scans, it so good ^^
ReplyDeleteI'm going to read all your releases ^^
Thank you very much for bringing such lovely scans^^
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry for not asking permission first to post your scans..
But i link back here and give your links
I am sorry for my rudness
Wish u all well and continue releasing great scans^^
Glad to know you enjoy them!
DeleteThere's really no need to ask for permission to repost our links anywhere, all we ask is you use our links :)
Thank you for the nice comment!
Hi, I'm Trefl. Week ago I sent you an e mail to acmedanmail[at]gmail.com (with a request for permission for retranslation). Unfortunately, so far I haven't received an answer. Do you have not received our email, or your answer is negative? My mail: neomelodramatic.scans[at]gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSorry about that! Exams started piling up and I haven't been able to answer emails. I'll do so in a bit!
DeleteThank you for all the wonderful releases! I enjoy your projects so much I keep coming back to check for more ^^.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could consider translating the anthologies Erotoro and BLT48? It's ok if you don't choose it, I still love you the same for sharing Hideyoshico and Kevin Komine with us <3
Aye we've actually been offered raws for Erotoro a couple of times now and as much as we'd love to, we'd rather not work on a Libre thing.
DeleteWill check out BLT48 sometime though, thank you for the lovely comment!
i just wanted to say that you guys are one of my favourite scanlators out there! i've never been disappointed with your releases--you always release stuff with gorgeous art, unconventional themes, and the nicest plots. they always either make me burst out laughing or have my heart clench up, so thank you so much for your excellent editorial choices!! not to mention the gorgeous quality of the scans :) thank you for being such a great group of scanlators, you guys rock and i'm super grateful for all that you do!
ReplyDeleteI've sent an email to you guys to ask for permission about project "Oyajina". We really want to translate it.
ReplyDeleteI'm Meruru from vnsharing.net
Thank you so much for scanlating titles by Hayakawa Nojiko and Hideyoshico and choosing unconventional themes like in Koketsu Dining and Dame BL >.<
ReplyDeleteummm..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!
