Name/Nickname: My name is Kasia. It's pronounced Kasha, if you were wondering. I also go by Kikula. Whichever is fine.
Country Of Origin & Time Zone: USA, EST
Gender: Female
Age: 16

What Field You Would Like To Be Positioned In: Proof-reading.
Why You Want This Position: I really enjoy reading manga and I would love to be a part of the process of making it. I especially would like to be a proof-reader, because I have a great attention to detail and I don't know Japanese very well, so it's the only job I can do! It's also very annoying when I come across simple grammatical or spelling errors when I read manga online!
Your Time Available: I have weekends almost completely free, as well as some nights. I work very diligently, so I don't think time would be a constraint.
Experience: My mother is a foreigner and English is her second language, so often times her work does not have the best grammar or spelling. I often proof-read important emails and such for her to make sure everything is okay. I also occasionally proof-read my friends' essays. I do some fan fiction writing, as well. I hope that's enough experience, and if not I am more than willing to learn!

- I think there were some "flow" issues in the script. Please tell me if I took too much liberty correcting them! -

You did pretty well.
As long as you catch those minor mistakes I pointed out.
So I'd say you pass.
Give us a few days for the head proofer to approve.

-(top right) Master, work is work! It's because you wouldn't stop going on about information on the humans!
You forgot to erase a space between "the" and "humans".

Page 2

Nothing wrong on this page.

Page 3

-But she called me an angel even though I'm a devil!
Flowed, could of used a comma here.

-It pissed me off.
"Pissed" sounds better in present tense for this situation.

Nothing wrong here.

Page 5

Nothing wrong here either.

Page 6

Nothing.

-Kyaaaa!!
-Why?
-Why is there no reaction?

-You think I'm a nasty dude who just gives up! / You still don't understand anything!?
Use a question mark after the first sentence.

Page 9

Nothing :)

Page 10

-It is an ability to manipulate reality...a little bit.
Combine "It is" into "it's".

Page 11

-That's the place where someone who helped me dies.
Change "dies" into "died".

-Old man, could that be Nami...
Forgot a question mark.

Page 13

Nothing.

Nothing.

Page 15

Nothing.

Page 16-17

I don't know what happened here.
It was blank.

Page 18

-The convoluted puzzle has
-Been completed solved.
"Been" should be lower case. (I know, it's confusing)
"completed" should be "completely"

From what I found, there were only minor mistakes. Some things take time to get used to depending on how the translator submits lines. But, everything looks good. I hereby accept your application. I'll get you added onto the team as soon as possible.
