    hello, fellow Golden Sun fans. as some of you may be aware, the game Golden Sun has a manga based off of it. It is full of funny short stories which are each 4 panels long. I have each page scanned onto my computer and each page has been translated. All i need now are cleaners and typesetters.

    information about the book:
    -131 pages
    -19 color pages
    -18 different artist
    -was published in 2001
    -is based of the first Golden Sun game

    sample pages:

    http://i254.photobuc...aii/page113.png

    http://i254.photobuc...aii/page006.png

    side note: I originally started this project with Cinder from Golden Sun Realm. I provided her with the RAWs. that was back in 2006. but due to my impatience, ive decided to start my own project without her.

      Wow, that's some good stuff! I wasn't aware there was any Golden Sun media outside of the games.

      I'm willing to help if I have the time, could you just elaborate on what you mean by "typesetting"?

        typesetters are the ones who place the words in the text bubbles after the images have been cleaned. cleaners make sure all of the blacks are fully black and the whites are fully white. they erase the text in the bubbles and make sure they page is straight (sometimes when you scan an image the picture isn't always 100% straight).

          Maybe my Bro could try. Maybe at least one page.

            I would love to be involved in this, and I could probably handle either job.


            As a sample of my work, I've cleaned your two sample pages.

                I've seen the Golden Sun manga before on the internet. Cleaned and with English text, it didn't have all the pages of course but it at least had page 6 in your examples.

                    That would explain that, though there's also someone else translating the Manga.

                      Hey that's cool, I think you did a fine job scanning those RAWS shurrai =) since the scans themselves look clear enough already, I'd suggest minimal "cleaning" (ie. blurring) since too much can seriously take away from the details of the original strips. Good luck on everything =D I hope I get to see the end result soon!

                          why do you say that? I don't quite understand what you're saying.
