Welcome and thanks for showing interest in the adventure that is joining Binktopia!

We've put a lot of effort in our recruitment "strategy" to make it easy for anyone to join.

First off, some formal things, what positions do we need people for?

Raw Providers, Translators, Editors (especially ones that can redraw)

So basically, every position. Now, what can we do for you, you may ask?

Raw Providers - we can possibly support you purchasing the volumes/mags, depending on what you can get and the date of it.
Translators - We are up to any new series that you'd like. We are ready to take almost any coditions, since we really are that desparate.
Editors - we will take the time to teach you everything. Basically from scratch, Binktopia style! We have fast and comfortable ways for cleaning magazines into remarkable quality (as you may have noticed yourself already :P).

But most importantly, you'll be part of a great group of people with, in most cases, similar interests and tastes.
All of the staff has to gather on IRC regularly, some are on the channel 24/7. We have a great time as a group,
discussing/debating about anything and occassionally (lol) cleaning and releasing manga.

Now that we got that cleared up, let's get into detail for the translator, and especially editor position. Raw providers just email me at , your position is just too special.

Translators: must know both Japanese and English. We prefer more liberal translations rather than really stale literal ones.
You need to provide a sample script of something you've translated, preferably a manga chapter. One last thing, it doesn't matter
if you want to translate just one certain manga, or want to help us in general, apply anyway, translators are always welcome.

Editors: What we demand from you:

Here is how you proceed if you are okay with the aforementioned conditions:



1. Open up your own thread in the recruitment section. Click here for the Link These are the possible thread-titles:
  • Translator - Your Nickname (In desperate need of translators)
  • Editor - Your Nickname


2. Tell us the following in your thread:
  • Your age. (Don't be immature, pwetty pwease...)
  • Your timezone.
  • Your version of Photoshop. (not for translators)
  • Your timeschedule. (we'll mainly need you on fridays / saturdays)
  • Your experience with cleaning/PS or experience in translating.
  • Your previous career in other groups.
  • Your favorite manga. (list the ones you like)
  • Your motivation and anything else you think is worth to get mentioned here.


And then, show patience and wait. An Administrator will move your thread to the first of 3 training levels and give you further advices and RAW pages to train on. Once you complete your lesson, you will be moved to the next. Simultaniously to this process, you will have to get on IRC, #binktopia @ irc.irchighway.net, and show us that you can work in a big group of people and can get along with them. Good luck.
