That's awesome, thank you!

I'll re-upload it and add it as an option later today. And it definitely isn't rude to e-mail me, although sometimes I can be slow to respond.

Sherlock Manga Coloring Challenge!

Since they're awesome, I'd love to include a few fan-colored pages in our releases. If you're interested in participating, just grab a Sherlock page from chapter 1, color it, and send it in! I'll pick three or so to include with each release.

Guidelines / Information:

Pick a page and color it!  Only chapter 1 is currently available from us, but you can continue to select any page from any of our releases going forward.

The page should be from our (Kamibana's) releases. Download chapter 1 here. If you would like a cleaned raw page instead, just ask.

It should be the original page; not a sized-down page (such as from an online viewer or Tumblr), and not a re-watermarked version (such as from an online viewer). Be sure you have the original page from the ch01 download here.

A partial page / large frame is also okay if you only want to do a portion of a page.

Submit your work by e-mailing it in:

That's: kamibana dot scanlations at gmail dot com.

There is no limit to how many pages you can contribute.

Each page should be under 600 kb, which should be enough. You can send in a page larger than that, but I might re-save it to lower quality. The size needs to be kept reasonable for an easy download. 

I strongly recommend that you include your credits (name and URL) on your page. You will be fully credited with our release, but it's still a good idea. If it's not on your page, please be clear how we should credit you.

It's your art, so you can post it wherever you like -- Tumblr, DeviantArt, wherever. I only ask that we're allowed to include your work with our releases. If you post it elsewhere, it would be cool if you mention that it's for this challenge.

This is for a challenge, not a contest, so the only prizes are recognition and a sense of accomplishment. :) I've had great luck with these in the past, and I can't wait to see all of your beautiful work!

Chapter 2 will hopefully be released about a week from today, so you might need to hurry if you want to make the first release. If you miss it, don't worry; colored pages will be included in the following chapter as well, and in all chapters after that, for as long as there are submissions and chapters to put them in.

As Sherlock says: "The game is on!"

For those of you who are artistically talented, I'll be making a post about coloring pages for releases, so check back!

Chapter two is in the works. I'm still looking for anyone able to scan or clean to add to the team and help speed up the release process. I might make a post about the cleaning process to give the curious a better idea about getting into it, since I've had a few inquiries from people new to scanlating. (Sorry that I haven't gotten back to you yet!)

International scanlations are allowed! If you want to translate into another language, go for it, but please let me know and read/follow our terms on our website. The World of Clow is our first international team with this series, and they will be releasing Sherlock in Russian.

Scanlating Process - A Preview of Chapter 2.

I thought this might interest some of you. In order above:

Raw Scan - This is the original, uncleaned "raw" scan of page 24. This raw has been rotated and cropped, so it's easier to compare to the other versions in the process. It's also resized for this preview, but it starts at 600 DPI (about 6000 px high).

Leveled Raw - Better. It's tempting to over-level to get rid of all the dust, but that causes other problems.

Cleaned Page - This is where all of my time goes, and it's why I take so long to finish a chapter.

Typeset Page (incomplete) - The translation is applied to the clean page. When this is done, the page is complete.

Thank you, everyone, for the amazing response to my scanlation of the first chapter. 270 Notes so far. 300 followers. Seriously, thank you!

I'll make an announcement if I hear anything about it getting licensed for an English-language release.

I haven’t updated in a while, but I have been working hard on the chapter. The Sherlock manga ch01 is entirely cleaned (whew! all 41 pages of it!), the main dialogue is typeset, and it’s just about ready. I just need to complete adding in the sfx, redraw where text was over part of the image, and nitpick it a bit.

Here’s a preview of the completed pages 02-03, 07, and 11. Compare them to the previously released speedscan I was doing (see pages: 02-03, 07, 11) to get an idea about the difference in the high-quality release.

After this first release, I will definitely be seeking assistance for upcoming chapters. Any HQ cleaners out there looking for a new project?

So I found this scans, they are no HQ, but it’s something *_* so I uploaded them to mediafire. I wish I could translate it but I’m busy with study -n-

[sherlock-manga]

For anyone wondering, these are the raws I've been using. There are a few raws out now, and I think these are still the best of the bunch I've seen. Thanks for finding and posting them, OP!

Sherlock manga translation, part 2. Again, a speedscan off the anonymously-provided raws online. For the most part, it's word-for-word. One exception was the translation of Sherlock's text; I didn't change it in the scanlation, but it literally read: "I'm waiting for a call. SH" Instead of changing it, which would be confusing next to the English version, I'm just making a note of it here.

I picked up Young Ace today! So I'll be scanning the chapter myself, and actually cleaning it to make it look nice. I will probably continue the rough speedscanlation in the meantime, though. But a HQ scanlation is on the way -- eventually. I keep busy during the week, so it'll be a while, but it's something to look forward to!

[sherlock-manga]

These are the first few pages of the Sherlock manga, adapted by Jay in the November issue of Young Ace, scanned by an unknown source, and loosely translated and quickly edited by me. Since it's obvious that the Japanese is all (so far) a direct translation from the original English dialogue, I basically just referred to the episode. It's a speedscan; I didn't really clean the pages since I'm going to get the chapter myself and scan it to have a higher quality source.
