Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun Manga Dub
Project Overview
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is a manga which I would like a cast to help me dub-over. I will be posting the final result on Tumblr, and potentially Youtube. We will most likely do two or three volumes of lines at a time, with an end result in late October, or early November. I will need lines done in two or three weeks time maximum, unless any other set of circumstances require your attention, and I am properly notified. In addition, I may do live direction with some of the main characters in the dub, just to ensure that the end result is something we can all be proud of. Be sure that your audio sounds clean, with no background noise or static in your take. Microphone quality is a must!

Nozaki is as talented as he is clueless. Which is to say a lot. He is a talented young romance manga artist, completely oblivious to his surroundings, and an overall friendly dude.
"Although it started as an observation to create a character, we quickly became good friends. He's the heroine."
(Context: Nozaki draws his manga based on friends and people he meets around his school, which he explains to Chiyo. He used his friends' personality as the main heroine of his manga. Try the last line as deadpan as you can.)"Why would Tomoda go so far for me? . . . No, wait, I get it! HE CARES FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER!"
(Context: Playing a dating sim and misinterpreting the main characters friends' motive of helping him as love.)"Hey, would you mind stopping at my house tonight? . . . I'm sorry, but I made too much food again."
(Context: Nozaki is unfathomably oblivious to the fact that Chiyo has feelings for him.)
Chiyo literally never gets a break. She is a sweet young girl, who very obviously has feelings for Nozaki, who doesn't quite seem to notice. As such, Chiyo can be frustrated when the people around her do incredibly stupid/oblivious things. Regardless, she is gregarious, talented artist.
"Although I confessed, he wasn't aware of it. But because of this good fortune, I was able to converse with him more frequently. Roughly, I'm considered someone who does odd jobs for him..."
(Context: Chiyo is dropping hints to Nozaki that she has feelings for him. Nozaki has no idea. This happens a lot.)
(Context: Chiyo is flustered when talking with Nozaki nearly always.)"What do I do? Even though I unconsciously followed him...Sure enough going back would be better. But other people will come like this..."
(Context: Chiyo is coming home with Nozaki, and is slightly flustered.)"How should I put it. . . The hero's popularityelement seems non-existent Four seats?!"
(Context: Chiyo is commenting on something absurd in Nozaki's manga. This happens a lot.)
Mikoshiba is an idiot. Like a huge idiot. One of his most distinguishing characteristics is that he says overly romantic lines to girls and gets embarrassed about it. He does background art for Nozaki, and is especially talented at those glittery roses typically found in any shojou manga.
"I'm . . . the eternal love hunter! *slowly realize what you just said*
(Context: Mikoshiba is an idiot and says stuff like this a lot. Imagine you actually thought this was a cool thing to say to your crush.)"Huh? You don't understand this? There's no other way then, let me take a look!"
(Context: Mikoshiba has been not-so-subtly been asking for attention from Chiyo to make himself feel important. What a cool guy.)"If there is anything you don't understand, don't come to me. I hate those kinds of troublesome things!"
(Context: Oh boy he's trying to sound cool again.)
Seo is a bit of a tomboy, a bit of a sadist, and shows love in strange way. She is often requested to help the sports' teams practice, not because shes' talented, but as to make her an example of how not to play the game. While not usually directly involved with the main characters, she is still an important role in the series, and has feelings for Wakamatsu.
"This bag. . . the old man living next door to me also has one, with a matching outfit."
(Context: Seo is a huge jerk. After looking at a friends' new bag, she does her best to try and compliment it.""Alright!! I'm gonna win! Until the game has ended, you can't leave! *evil laugh* "
(Context: Seo is often asked to go nuts during basketball practice to be an example of how not to be a good teammate/person.)"Well, generally, I think I'm pretty considerate of others. I'm good at giving advice, I'm perfectly aware of my surroundings, I can read the atmosphere...Am I too perfect?!?"
(Context: Seo is doing the opposite of all these things as she says them. Say it nonchalantly, yet confidently. Make sure to sound genuinely concerned on the last line.)
Kashima is a girl who looks remarkable like a dude. This makes her extremely popular with her fellow classmates. While more subdued than Seo, she is still a troublemaker, often skipping rehearsal for her drama club. She has feelings for Masayuki Hori, and flirts with him by making him angry.
"It can't be helped. shall we paint it together?"
(Context: Flirting with a backstage crew member.)"Hori-chan-senpai intended to be the lead all the way through third year. In the end, his growth stopped and he became a pitiful person."
(Context: She has no idea what to and what not to say to people. Messing around with Hori.)"Strage as it may seem, I'm the highest in the grade..."
(Context: Hori just threw something at her. She is presently lying on the floor in pain.)
