I have two short manga chapters—one 10 pages, the other 20—that need to move from English into polished, formal Japanese while staying true to every joke, emotion, and panel beat. The story is fairly straightforward, so you won’t be wrestling with heavy cultural references, but the tone still has to feel as if it was written natively for a Japanese audience.

Only human expertise counts here; please refrain from using machine or AI-assisted tools. I will be checking for consistency in character voices, natural flow, and preservation of subtle nuances such as onomatopoeia and panel pacing.

What I need from you:
• A clean, fully proofread Japanese script for all speech bubbles, narration boxes, and visible text (30 pages total).
• Brief translator’s notes wherever an idiom, pun, or tricky phrase calls for explanation so that typesetting stays faithful.
• Delivery in a simple page-by-page document (Word, Google Docs, or similar) that clearly maps each original line to your translation.

If this aligns with your skill set and you can meet these guidelines, I’m ready to collaborate right away.
