Contact Email for Commissions: desudesu2@gmail.com

How much do you charge?

From $1.5 to 2.0 per page. The price will increase if the manga is unusually wordy or if it will require additional image editing due to text style (text directly on image). The full cost of translation must be paid before I begin working on it. Larger works can be broken into parts and worked on separately if you prefer.

Transactions will be done via paypal.

What do you translate?

Japanese to English for manga. I mostly get commission requests for adult content, though.

How long do you take?

Depends. If it's a short chapter, I can get it done in a day or two if there aren't anything else in my backlog.

Need opinion: Discard old site content or not?

Toranoana freebies from buying Koufuku Graffiti vol 1~4. Toranoana is brotier. 

Here's a problem I'm facing right now. Should I import the content of my previous site that's going to be plugged off next week (31st Jan 2015)?

I thought of importing the content there, and I get a 21mb xml file out of the content export. Blogger doesn't seem to accept the .xml file (it gets stuck at "writing blog post" status). I've followed this site's advice: http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2012/11/convert-wordpress-blog-to-blogger.html

Which tells me to convert the export file I get from Wordpress, and convert it to a Blogger-friendly format on this site: http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com/

Thing is, that site only accepts wordpress export file that is less than 1mb (mine is 21mb. Containing all the posts and pages on the previous site).

Anyone have any idea how I could import it over?

Update: 
Looks like I'm fucked. I've tried two methods of importing the old content into this site. Somehow it doesn't load completely (check the side archive bar. It starts to fail from 2010 onwards). I guess I'll just have to start anew.

Omake 1: 
For those who haven't been following my blog, this site had its humble beginnings back in 2008, with the first site:
https://desudesu0.wordpress.com/

Come late 2008, I was offered a domain of myself, which was:
http://desudesu.me/

That site is going to be plugged off the internet on 31st Jan 2015, and will be continued on this very site.

Omake 2: 
Desudesu goes to Japan, returns with a luggage case full of mostly lewd doujins and H-tankobons:
two black doujin cases stuffed with lewds, tankobons and some more doujins had to be placed on top of them

  2. Place all the old content in a torrent file and make it as a constant downloadable file incase anyone wants to go back to the old content and start fresh. I always find this easier to get around than having to convert files.

  3. Sorry to go off topic, but where did you get those black plastic cases? I've been trying to find something like that to store my physical H-Manga. Or any recommendations in general for H-Manga storage (since I'm assuming you've accrued a pretty hefty amount over the years)?

    1. Those things were easily available in doujin shops (toranoana, melonbooks).
