Any orphaned/abandoned manga lying around?

[Mngtr]

First time at this forum so sorry if this is the wrong place but –

I have a bit of downtime from work and want to do jump back in to the scanlation scene – but less than 'jump in', more like 'dip my toe'. Kind of worried that I may not be able to be fully committed to a group, so was wondering if there's a single volume / oneshots that you want to see translated, or if you have the raws/pixiv manga you want to see scanlated. I'm in a 'release 100 chapters' and then disappear mood.

Don't want to step on any toes, so no 'this group is doing this but they're too slow' projects, but I'm open to orphaned or abandoned manga recommendations.

I'm open to purchasing raws (ebooks) too! Just not sure what project is already claimed, or what's good out there.

Genres I prefer: Isekai, Shoujo, Shounen-ai, Yaoi, Shounen, Comedy. I love cooking/reincarnation/fantasy/time travel/villainess themes – the more tropey the better.

tl;dr: I'm a japanese translator, cleaner and typesetter. I want to scanlate some manga but not sure what project to pick up. Would love recs or raws.

Or if you have recommendations for an easy going group that's drama-free and allow me to join as freelancer on a chapter-by-chapter basis that would be great too!

@Mngtr not an abandoned series (by that I mean no one worked on it), but if you want a cooking BL manga, Aki wa Haru to gohan wo tabetai might fit the bill

This one ended in 2006 but seems to have never been fully translated...

there's only 6 chapters left of this! https://mangadex.org/title/1174/soukai-no-eve

I've been dying to know how it ends for years

@pika

Thanks for the link! Found some interesting projects to pick up.

Maybe I should edit the title a little bit, I'm looking for any interesting series to scanlate, not just dropped ones :)

@pockettrash
Thanks for the recs! Started working on this one and should be up soon.

@Almirage @aquariumtourmaline
Looks interesting but I can't seem to find the raws

@Ma_chan
Looks interesting but at the moment I don't think I'm taking any smut projects because the sfx is a pain to edit Hope somebody will take it up!

 

[aquariumtourmaline]

@Mngtr I can DM you a link to the raws if you're interested

 

[pockettrash]

@Mngtr woah! I'll be looking forward to it

@Rehab

If you have the raws for https://mangadex.org/title/15726/soba-ni-ite-mo-ii-n-daze I'm interested in taking it up!

Edit: just searched for it and turns out its already fully scanlated!

 

[Rehab]

@Mngtr
I'm really sorry when i read it 2 years ago i didn't find anything and i was waiting all this time sorry again
Is there a chance for the first one ?? T^T

 

[Mngtr]

@Rehab

Interested in that one if you have the raws!

 

[Devilyn]

There's this one that's really great but that has been dropped for some reason: https://mangadex.org/title/15879/gunjou-ni-siren
I'd be very grateful if you could continue the project. Thanks

 

[schlo]

how about, https://mangadex.org/title/15248/suijin-no-hanayome It is an isekai and is pretty good.

it's only got 7 chapters until the end and appears to be dropped. Was thinking it might be neat to do a bunch that were close instead of just one long one so that some of these could be completed.

 

[Mngtr]

@schlo

I think that one is licensed and that's why the scanlation stopped. Thanks for the recs though!

@devilyn
unfortunately I don't know anything about baseball so I wouldn't do this series justice hope someone will pick it up

No suggestions here, but thanks for picking up any works that need any translating, new or abandoned. I love the same genres you're interested in doing, so anything to English sounds great for readers like us!

Now I feel like sponsoring a dead project, but I just don't know where to find a group or the raws lol...
