Strike Witches season 1 ought to do, if you're okay with anime. While I've never touched the light novels, I have seen the first season and feel like that's enough to understand a lot of what's going on elsewhere. At least speaking in terms of the various incarnations of manga and the bevy of doujinshi there are, I guess.

Make sure you save everything as a .psd file while working. Don't get rid of your .psd's till the chapter has been released (i.e. you see it here or on YP's home page). When you're finished, use the settings described in step 6 of YP's editing tutorial to save them. Then upload it to mediafire or some other file-sharing site, post the link in the thread and get ready for someone to come along and tell you what you did wrong (these devious folks are often credited under "QC").

Also...just to save someone in the future a bit of trouble, be sure to do everything with layers. Leveling needs its own layer, for instance. Lastly, triple read the guidelines to make sure your release is proper. http://wiki.yuriproject.net/guidelines

YP thread list is here http://wiki.yuriproject.net/wiki:threads Find the thread you want by either scrolling through ("Need Editor" section) or using ctrl + f.

Image editing software - preferably Photoshop, but GIMP can work if you know the program (or you can use multiple programs if you want) - is the only requirement for editing.

Of course, knowledge helps too. That's what tutorials are for (unless you get someone with enough free time to really teach you stuff). Stuff I recommend:

http://wiki.yuriproject.net/editing_tutorial
http://www.littlewhitebutterflies.net/basic-editing-part-1-photoshop-saving-rotating-cropping/ (NSFW)
http://www.littlewhitebutterflies.net/basic-editing-part-1-basic-leveling/ (NSFW)
http://dynasty-recruit.pbworks.com/w/page/23986644/Dynasty-Scans%27%20Tutorial

Alternatively if you just want to see what an editor actually does to the pages...stop by YP or voile, look at the raw, then look at the edit.

Editing isn't usually horribly difficult, it just takes time. Not spoiler:
I'm posting this in the hopes that it piques someone's interest. I loathe unfinished series with a fiery passion.

I like it. The question now is: Would you date a someone just because they confess liking you? mmm

I have, at least.

Next chapter's the best so far. After 5 it's back to waiting though.

^I don't think anyone's going to stop you from doing so, but if you choose to, just use spoilers tags, please. As such.

It's also worth mentioning that the next chapter has been translated on Yuri Project and is awaiting an editor.

Yuru Yuri = yuri = not romance

Hanjuku Joshi = yuri = romance

In addition to making that rather important distinction between serious relationships and not-so-serious relationships, the tag is meant to single out series/stories that focus on romantic developments. Whether that be lots of "I love you, let's be together forever", or the actual illustration of a romance.

With that said, we have quite a group of people who tag things, and many tags have been under some degree of revision at some point. So my words on this hardly hold true 100% of the time.

Pixiv comments translated by kaye92:

"Pixiv title: The person that was there

Commentary:
A princess all alone
A lonely princess, always alone in a dark place
Alone in the darkness for a long, long time
But the lonely times are put to an end
Wrapped in a warm light
Hand being pulled, the princess walks out into the light
The one who was beside me…
The one who showed me tenderness…
Was you, whom I love so much."

Very cute.

It already has 18 volume in Japan :l I think I'm going to resort into reading the raws... IF I UNDERSTOOD JAPANESE dies oh yeah they're also making a new manga "Hayate x Blade 2"

By the time you've learned Japanese and read through volume 18, you'll be ready for Hayate x Blade 3!

Thank you kindly for the tip.

Oh also, this is amazing. If that really needed to be said.

There's a page missing between page 11 and page 12 (credits page):

Many thanks, updated.

If there weren't any men in there, I would enjoy it many times over.

Yup.

There is nothing better in a yuri release than character(s) incessantly dwelling on the existence of a male who is not even present. I guess this one was at least somewhat alternative, which makes it less dumb.

Also to get something positive/constructive out of this post...your avatar, Demon Beast. I love it so much! Been meaning to type that out for a long while now.

Why do writers ruin potentially good bondage with dark themes and people ignoring consent? I just want to read about people being happily tied up.

I think we have one on the whole site, which is really too bad. Though consent isn't ever explicitly given...

Just hope it doesn't end up like First Love Sisters, Last Uniform, or Hayate x Blade.

Was actually thinking that's what this topic was about...

  1. Does anyone know what yuriproject/makimaki's plans are in that regard?

They will be continuing it.

Thinking about that, was Hanjuku Joshi ever translated?

Probably never will be, given...the age of certain characters, and some of the actions displayed within it. Have to imagine that would be difficult to advertise as well.

French, Germans

Those European's sure get plenty of yuri, don't they?

meh. There will always be disagreement about what qualifies as an "eyesore". Any status other than cancelled (which is totally beyond scanlator control anyway) can change at any moment. I could name three yuri series picked up in the last two months alone.

The series is marked as "complete". I'm pretty sure that's all there is to it...

For these two-page comics, I think it would be very nice to have some color coding or other denotation to show which comes first in reading order. Danbooru highlights the outside of the first page's thumbnail in green, and the outside of the second page in yellow. Like so.

Would highly recommend visiting the release post if you'd like a more typical English translation. There are two versions - I chose this one because Carcharias is one of only two doujinshi artists (that I know of, anyway) that use a lot of old language, and it's kind of important to retain that tone.

Anyways...this is a weird series.

Just wanted to note that if at any point you've requested an image/short release that is not up yet, feel free to re-request it. There are some requests that were initially turned away due to lack of content that can now be put in the images section.
