Hey Christian! Glad to see another DMC fan :D
I've been translating manga for a while now. Over 3 years, I think. Some other RPGWWers had a similar instance when I used to do Bleach. Eventually I just had to quit because I was getting busier, and the utter idiocy that reigns in the "scanlation world" was causing me to do much more supervision that I really wanted to as a translator...
But yeah, I've done a lot of translating since, lots of different projects, but DMC has been my favorite by far. Strangely enough, we picked up the comic way back when there was only one volume out, long before it ever became an anime or a movie, and no one really wanted to do it. I read it though, and basically begged my friend to do it, telling him how it hilarious it was, and eventually we started putting it out, and it had mild popularity, but now that there's an anime and a movie a lot more people are starting to read it, so I'm really happy about that :D We're currently working on volume 6, which features the appearance of Krauser I >:]
But yeah. I don't do that much translation anymore because I'm really busy with translating actual novels in real life, and other stuff, but I still do DMC and a few other series every now and then.
I ended up writing a lot more than I intended. We should turn this into a DMC discussion thread!
Have you read up to current?
