Hi! I'll be checking over your application since our head proofer has a life!~
Just remember that the final decision goes to the head and not me ;3

-(top right) Master, Work is work! Its becuse you wouldn't stop going on about information about humans!
Its should have an apostrophe since it's "it is" and there's a typo.

-There is a hope you don't give up on until the end! The next move are...!?
This sentence can be said in different ways such as: "There is hope! Don't give up until the end!" or something along the lines of that. Move is singular, not plural.

-Welcome, how we are fortunate to have you with us today <3
There should be a subject in this sentence.

-(top right) The Story So Far, In order to return to the demon world, the banished devil Kucabara is acting as a lawyer for sinners.
A colon instead of a coma in the beginning. You missed "a."

-Its strange...if this is the place that Nami visited then there should be some sort of reaction. / Bichula, are you sure it was this shop?
Again, an apostrophe.

-Youve been with me for long but you still don't understand me.
Another apostrophe.

-You think I'm I nasty dude who just gives up! / You still don't understand anything!?
"A" not "I."

-Like I said. / There aren't any traces left at the station.
Coma instead of a period.

-Do you know the special strength of a Shinigami.
This a question, not a statement.

-Thay day when you started to lose your footing near the tracks, / You were't going to lose your footing and fall.
Typo.

-Then they cant live either.
Apostrophe.

-That's the place where some one who helps me dies.
This is in past tense so it should be "helped" and "died."

-Every one was just searching for romance on the snow...
Everyone should be connected.

-No body turned an eye towards a homeless guy like me.
Nobody is connected.

That's all I found so just sit tight and wait for Luffy to get back to you!~

Yes I have the life of a normal college student. You know what that means.

From what Hyphier found, there are too many mistakes. I'll have to deny your application for now.
