General Questions
A: Bliss is a scanlation group whose members donate their time to bring you high quality manga and translations. Though we mainly focus on Boys' Love manga, we also scanlate works of other genres.
A: Boys' Love, or BL, refers to romantic relationships between homosexual men. Yaoi refers to Boys' Love manga that focuses more on the physical/sexual side. Shounen-ai is less explicit and focuses mainly on plot and romance rather than sex.
A: You can email us at Bliss.Scanlations{at}gmail.com, or use our Contact Form.
Q: How can I tell which releases are non-BL?
A: On the projects page, projects are separated by red borders and blue borders. Red indicates Boys' Love projects. Blue indicates non-Boys' Love projects. Please note that any project outlined in blue may fall into any number of genres.
A: Email us about the position you're interested in, and we'll send you a test as soon as possible. Be sure to read about the position requirements on the Hiring page before you apply.
Q: Why don't you release faster?
A: Because we're doing this for free. Maybe if you join we'll get things out faster.
Q: When are you going to release the next chapter of XXXX?
A: Simple: whenever we feel like it. DO NOT ask us this question in email, comments, etc, because it'll just make us mad and release even slower =). Instead of bugging us, try offering to help and odds are you'll see the release sooner.
Q: Why have you dropped XXXX project?
Questions Other Groups Might Ask
Q: Can we rescanlate your work into another language?
A: You're welcome to base your own scanlations on our translations (no email permission necessary) but DO NOT re-edit our scans. We bought the original manga ourselves, and so should you. If you use our translations, credit (link to our website) is appreciated, but not necessary.
Q: Can we please use your scans to edit on? We can't find raws anywhere else.
A: Like we said above, the answer is no. We make no exceptions to this policy, and it certainly can't be that hard to buy yourself a copy.
Q: Can we joint with you on one of your current or future projects?
A: That depends on the project, but most of the time we'd be glad to. Just drop us an email or use the contact form.
Q: Will you stop scanlating this project? It is on our future project list.
A: We always try very hard to avoid conflicts with other groups, but it's possible that we may have missed your group. Feel free to approach us with your concerns, and we'll try to work it out to the best of our abilities. Joints are usually welcome if a particular project is understaffed.
Q: Can we host your releases on our website?
A: The answer will usually be yes, given a few conditions.
