What is scanlation?
Hello my new friend, let me introduce you to google. Now run along and have a long and wonderful relationship together. (^_−)☆
So, what kind of projects do you do?
We currently scanlate shoujo, mature, josei, and romance. Although, if you have the raws (and a translator to go with them) we will consider doing pretty much anything.
How do I get to your releases?
Unfortunately, we no longer have an online reader and many of the download links on older works are outdated. There is no other way to read the older works unless another site has them.

Can we host your projects?
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: We no longer allow for online viewer sites/sites that host english-licensed materials to host our projects. If you are a site that this applies to, please delete our projects, or if you happen to notice a site that is hosting our projects please contact us. Thank you.
If you have any further concerns please send an email to us at forbidden_garden@live.com.

Can we translate your scanlation into another language?

Can I make a banner?
Please do!! It's only by the awesome talents of you guys that we have pretty banners at all.
Why do you currently only scanlate shoujo and josei?
Because that's what interests us.
How come all of your projects are so lame? I want you to translate [insert name].
Are YOU contributing anything to Forbidden Garden? No? Then get to steppin'!
Why didn't you respond to my email?
I'm sorry, that's mostly my fault. I have a bad tendency of opening messages and then getting distracted before I answer it. If I don't write you back in a couple days time, feel free to email me again.
Why did you drop or are taking forever on [insert project name]?
If you would like to provide usable scans/translators/editors for said project then we will be more than willing to pick it back up. But until then - tough it out.
If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to email me.
