Hello! I’m Hikari. I’m primarily a hentai translator but you can commission me to translate anything you may need, be it manga, hentai, anime, novels, games, etc. Anything you want translated we can translate. We also offer high quality decensoring and coloring services for hentai and manga.
You can find our rates and terms below, or if you’d like to contact me, my Discord is: hikari2621 and my e-mail is: sharingan.no.hikari@gmail.com. We answer all inquiries within 24 hours.
Table of Contents
Which languages can I translate?
I can translate Japanese-English, Spanish-English, and French-English (And well, every other combination of the 4, but that’s not what you’re here for…)
Are there any tags I don’t translate?
I do not translate hard NTR. Other extreme tags (furry, scat, guro, etc.) are allowed, but I charge more for stuff like that.
Services and rates
- Standard manga/hentai translation commissions: $6.00-$8.00 per page. This price includes the translation, typesetting, and necessary editing for all the story-relevant text. The final price depends on the amount of text, the amount of editing required, and the content. Please note that works with an unusually large amount of text (Like some CG sets for example) can cost a lot more. Similarly, tags that I don’t like can also go above this range (I.e. NTR, scat, furry, guro, etc.).
Standard translations don’t include sound effects outside text bubbles or afterwords; if you want those please refer to the section below. - Premium manga translation services: These are extra services we can provide that aren’t included in a standard translation.
SFX: $3.00-$5.00 extra per page. For this price we’ll redraw and translate the sound effects outside speech bubbles.
Afterwords and forewords: $0.06-$0.08 per character. (A full page afterword is usually around $30). This is also for pages that are mostly text, not just afterwords and forewords. - Hentai uncensoring/decensoring commissions: $5.00-$10.00 extra per page. The price is heavily dependent on the censoring style. We’ll give you a precise quote after we see the manga in question.
- Manga coloring commissions: $13.00-$18.00 extra per page. The price for this depends on the complexity of the work. We’ll give you a precise quote when we see the manga in question.
- Novel/visual novel translation commissions: $0.06-$0.08 per character (This usually means $30-$50 per page, but it depends on the novel and the formatting style). The final price also depends on the difficulty.
- Video and audio translation commissions: $13-$17 per minute (includes subbing). This price range has the average anime or hentai in mind. However, some works can also go above this range. The price depends on the amount of words per minute, the difficulty, and the genre.
All rates are in USD.
These translations are for personal use only.
Why commission from me?
- Years of experience as a Japanese translator on the internet.
- I have the N1 certification so everything is professionally translated by a human, no AI involved.
- I’ve translated very difficult material, like the No Game No Life light novel: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/no-game-no-life/
- Short queues compared to other groups. Our queue is usually only 1 week long. Other groups can have months long queues.
When/where to pay:
Payment has to be in advance. You’ll only enter our queue once we’ve received your payment.
You can pay me via Paypal, Ko-Fi, or Bitcoin. If you pay via Bitcoin I’ll give you a 5% discount.
How long does it take?
It really depends on the type of translation.
For example, 20-30 page doujins take 3-5 days, maybe a bit more if the editing is difficult/in color.
Commissions with premium services depend heavily on the type of services you want, so I can’t give you any estimate until you send me the manga in question. However, I can tell you right now that decensoring and sfx take a really long time.
For novels it depends on the difficulty, but I can do around 2000 characters per day for the easy ones.
Also please note that the time frames I give are just estimates. This is doubly true when I have to hire an editor since they are late quite frequently.
Refunds
I’ll begin this section by saying that giving refunds is extremely difficult for me. As such, I’ll consider 50% of all payments received a non-refundable deposit. So please think about it very carefully before making a payment, especially for larger amounts.
I won’t refund work that I’ve already done either, you’ll just get the pages I’ve finished + a refund proportional to the 50% remaining. This doesn’t include the editor’s part, the best I could do is put you in contact with them so you can negotiate a refund directly with them.
