ScansBurger - Japanese Comics Scanning Team
Experts at locating, buying, and scanning all sorts of Japanese comics, doujinshi , manga, and related items
The short explanationFor those of you who don’t want to read the long explanation below, please read the following.
ScansBurger is a team who purchases Japanese comic and related items, such as doujinshi, manga, etc., of any type and genera (straight, yaoi, yuri, loli, shota, guro, furry, futanari, etc.), receive the items, scan the items, and upload the raw, unprocessed scans for you. You pay us for the item, and all extra fees such as the shipping fee, and a fee for the scanning, and we provide you with the scans, in return. We are able to buy from nearly any online source, any online shops, even if they don’t ship out of Japan, and online auctions. We have over 15 years of combined experience, having scanned over 1500 items, in purchasing and scanning and have been active providing scans for happy customers on E-Hentai for about 5 years. We scan using a high-grade scanner that preserves subtle gray shading and generate high quality uncompressed scans in 600 DPI.
Our fees for scanning (in US Dollars):
Items 60 pages or less = $10.00
Items 61-100 pages = $15.00
Items 101-250 pages = $20.00 (note that books larger than 150 pages are likely to need debinding)
Items 251-400 pages = $40.00
Larger items will be priced on a case-by-case basis.
(Fees may change in special cases and in case of debinding a book, two copies are required for purchase)
IntroductionHave you ever wanted to contribute to the exciting and rewarding world of scans and yet not found yourself able for a number of reasons? Is the thought of scanning hundreds to thousands of pages something you dread? Would you be embarrassed if a close friend or family member were to discover a pornographic H-comic in your room with strange content? Could you get in legal problems if the customs agency of your nation were to inspect your package from Japan and were to discover H-comics? Do you not know enough of the Japanese language to locate books online much less navigate the often confusing Japanese shops or even more confusing and difficult to use, but very rewarding, Japanese auction sites? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions or combinations thereof, there’s no need to worry. Allow our team, ScansBurger, to find, purchase, scan, and upload the scans to you all for the price of the items themselves and a fair, reasonable fee for the scanning service.
Who are we?As of now, early 2018, the members of ScansBurger have scanned over 1500 total comics, including doujinshi, commercial mangas, and artbooks. With a combined total of over 15 years of locating, purchasing, scanning, and sharing experience, we are seasoned veterans of the Japanese scanning scene having contributed greatly over the years even perhaps to your very enjoyment. We are deeply fond of Japanese comics and have had great success in scanning not only new or popular books but also many rare and old books that other people may be discouraged from ever finding. We have found many of the rarest of books, items published over 20 years ago and items published in quantities of less than 100 units. Although neither of us lives in Japan, the person handling the scans lives in a nation that is permissive when it comes to the importation of H-Comics. So you can rest assured that customs will not be seizing your requested comics that you’ve paid for. We are also able to find items that even Japanese otaku whom we have spoken to have considered the items that we wanted (and often eventually purchased and scanned) as being nearly impossible to find.
What do we do?As of now, early 2018, we can assist you locate the items that you are interested to buy and purchase it for you online. We receive the items, scan them, and upload them to you. We own a high-grade, expensive scanner that we use to scan our customers’ items. Unlike the lower quality home-grade ones, our scanner preserves subtle gray shading found on the original printed pages. We do not process (edit, clean) the scans at this time. We are only a raw-scanning service meaning that we provide you with high quality scans, in 600 DPI uncompressed file formats, that you will have to process yourself prior to uploading. We do not upload the books to E-Hentai or any other sites as we allow our buyers to do so after they process the scans to their desires. We are currently looking to team-up with people who can help us process the scans but, as of writing this, we do not provide this service.
PricingAs highly experienced buyers from Japanese online stores and auctions, we always try to find the lowest priced item for you. However, some things must be said about pricing. First, there is the price of the item itself. This is obvious. What are not so obvious are the other necessary, additional costs. There are two types of shopping to distinguish for the sake of this section. The first are those sellers that ship outside of Japan. The second are those sellers that do not ship outside of Japan.
For all shops, those that ship outside of Japan and those that do not, you will have the same set of the following additional costs. First and foremost, Japan charges a small sales tax on items sold through normal shops. Therefore this fee is included irrespective of whether the item seller ships or does not ship outside of Japan. Second, there may be a tax fee for importation of items from Japan into the nation of the scanning member. This fee is also low and, if many books are purchased simultaneously among a group of buyers, the tax will be evenly distributed over all members. Third, there is the fee for shipping the items from Japan to us. Like the import tax, this fee will be evenly distributed over all members items contained within the package. We will always try to combine shipping when possible to make the prices as low as possible for our contributors.
For shops that do not ship outside of Japan, we have to use a contact of ours within Japan who receives the item(s) for us and then ships it (them) to us. This person charges a small, reasonable fee for his service. Next, there is shipping fee within Japan from the seller to our contact. In some rare cases, we may have to use a more sophisticated proxy service to help us purchase such items as the sellers do not accept foreign credit cards. And finally, there is a fee for the bank wire service used by the contact to purchase the item from the seller. Sadly, the use of convenient debit or credit cards to make payments is not as common in Japan as you may think. All of these extra fees increase the price of an item by quite a lot but when it comes to auctions, often the best way to get the rarest of items, we have no choice but to pay these fees. And even with these fees, the price of the item may be less than what you would expect to pay for such a rare item compared to many other overpriced sellers that sell their items in the West on EBay or their own private, online shop.
Finally, there is the fee for scanning your item. Our fees are based upon the page number of the item that you buy. For items 60 pages or less, we charge $10.00. For items between 61 and 100 pages, we charge $15.00. For items between 101 to 250 pages, we charge $20.00. For items between 251 pages to 400 pages, we charge $40.00. For the rare items larger than 400 pages, we will tell you the price on a case-by-case basis. For exceedingly small items, we may combine them with other purchases you made or charge a lesser fee. Before we obtain the item for you, we will let you know the fee for scanning the item. Of course there are some items that don’t even require scanning such as doujin CG but this may require special hardware, in the case of old floppy disc materials compatible only with old Japanese computers, or even special expertise with new stuff protected by DRM. Again, we will do our best to let you know in advance of such complications.
What we scanIt is our goal to try to help you get any comic related item including but not limited to doujinshi (h or non-h), commercial h-comics, commercial non-h comics, commercial magazines (even old back issues), doujin CG, commercial CG, light novels, and anything else with comic related drawings such as calendars, shitajiki, telephone cards, posters, and more. We scan any erotic, H, themes - everything from normal straight sex to loli, shota, yaoi, yuri, furry, futanari, guro, scat and even the weirdest stuff. We also scan non-H (non-erotic, non-pornographic) items.
Our purposeAs huge fans of Japanese comics, we are working to preserve them online for our own future viewing pleasure and for the enjoyment of others. We also are firm believers in digital preservation and wish to spread knowledge of great comics and otaku culture around the world. Our ScansBurger team has been tremendously successful since we first announced the project on E-Hentai about five years ago having scanned over one thousand items so far for happy customers.
What you need to do if interestedSimply tell us what you are interested in purchasing. You can leave a message here or send a private request. All requests and purchases, if written in a private message, will be kept confidential. No personal information of collaborators will be revealed by us. We would be happy to help you find even the rarest of items. You can give us as much or as little information to go on when trying to find your item. For those who are looking to get the rarest of materials, we can even teach you how to look online so that if the item ever does appear, which it often will with enough persistence, you can tell us immediately upon appearance to buy the item so that you do not miss it.
About TooEcchiWe have posted various galleries to E-Hentai under our account, TooEcchi. However, please be aware that not all are indicative of the quality of scan you will receive when purchasing our services. Some of the items posted under our name are not even our scans, although most are, and some are old scans in which we have used older, inferior methods to what we will be giving you when you purchase with us. If you are concerned about the quality of our scans, please ask us and we will be happy to present to you samples of our work.
