Sorairo Girlfriend
Hello! We’ve had a few lineup changes over the past few months and most of our remaining members are tied up with real life things. We’d like to add a few members to our team and hopefully get our stalled projects going.
Tranquil Spring is seeking people for the following positions:
Editors:
Experienced editors are always welcome, but anyone with Photoshop is welcomed to take a crack at the Editor Test.
Those with previous manga editing experience can simply send or direct us to manga that they’ve worked on (preferably with a copy of the raws).
Translators:
Japanese to English translators, please download the Translator Test.
Chinese to English translators can attempt the Translator Test (CHN). Do note that Chinese translators are also given Japanese raws for accuracy purposes, so knowing kana is a plus.
Quality Check:
Please download the QC Test. Your QC report should cover both editing mishaps and grammatical oddities. This role has generally been filled by our editors, but anyone with a keen eye can give it a shot.
–
Please direct completed tests to tsadmin@tranquilspring.com. Feel free to include a few words about yourself.
Questions? Inquiries? Leave a comment or send an email to the above address.
We can also be found at #Tranquilspring on Rizon; feel free to drop in and join the lurking party!
Here is a rundown of our current projects and their respect statuses (Italicized titles are in progress):
A Lollypop or a Bullet (Ch9; Edit)
Butterfly Kiss Blade (Ch7; Edit)
Mikarun X (Ch13; Edit)
Sorairo Girlfriend (Ch4; Edit)
Orange Lipgloss (Ch5; Proofread)

Edit: I forgot to list 14 Juicy (Ch17; Edit), Mugendai Enten, and (a few?) Horii Kisuke oneshots from Tsubomi. It’s quite possible that I’ve left something out.
Edit 2: Editor Test updated to v2 (._. ) as the previous one had the wrong script.

and here we are at chapter 4. reasons for the wait:
1) script needed extra polishing 2) dad died :< 3) ...

A message from the Spring’s new resident electric rodent:
Hopefully no one has forgotten Satougashi Dangan wa Uchinukenai: A Lollypop or a Bullet. This chapter wraps up the first volume, and I can promise more coming up– meaning plot and releases.
I know some people have been asking– where is the girl-girl love?! I’m just gonna have to ask you to trust me on this one.
Thanks to Mixini for providing translations. Links are below:

We’ve been hard at work on a new series for everyone:
Kuchibiru ni Suketa Orange: A Transparent Orange in the Lip
That title is quite a mouthful. We’ve gone back and forth about the title quite a bit too. Originally, we were working on a title translation that would convey the nuances of the original Japanese. But then we noticed that an English title was already provided on the cover of the manga. And that English title was “A Transparent Orange in the Lip”. Although it conveys the literal meaning of the words in the original title it wasn’t quite as poetic as we would have liked, but what can you do?
Since we’re not going to change the English title that was provided as part of the manga, we’ve decided to release it with the romanized Japanese and the English title.
