It's Gay To Smoke aims to bring soft and sweet shounen-ai (safe-for-work M/M) manga to English audiences.

We are a deadline-free* team, work mainly with digital manga, and do not translate/redraw sound effects (unless team members want to).

Want to join us? Choose a role for more info:

*Your first chapter is due within one month of assignment.
Every chapter after that has no deadline.

Joining as a japanese translator

• Japanese translators must be at a JPLT-3 level of fluency or better.

• You can recommend your own project or work on one of ours!

Joining as a cleaner

• Cleaning includes leveling and denoising raws, removing the original text, and redrawing the art underneath.
(We don't clean sound effects because we believe in self-care.)

• Email us at [email protected] or message chubbybunny#3446 on Discord to apply.

joining as a typesetter

• Typesetting includes placing, formatting, and styling the translation to emulate form and feel of the raw text.
