This thread is a real demo of the BWYS QC process. I've made this public to show anyone interested in the QC position a working example of the kind of forum-based collaborative QC process as it happens in BWYS.
To start off, I will create a thread in the staff board with a chapter of manga that needs to be looked at. I have not assigned this chapter to these QCs, they are QCs so they will check their section of the forum regularly to see if there's anything needing to be done that they would be willing to do. Once someone posts a list of problems, I will then update the download link in the first post with a corrected file. I then make a new post to say that I've made the corrections and change the thread topic so that others can tell it's been updated.
Some of the QCs make SFX corrections as well because they are able to read the Japanese. This is not compulsory but would be very helpful.

If anyone's free and wants to, look it over and tell me if there are any mistakes.

There's no point... -> It's impossible to chase after it now.
05
The princess -> The Princess
last bubble -> text looks off-center because of the way the bubble is cut off... not sure if there's a better positioning though
06
Who's he? -> Who's that?
08
I don't know what I'll do. -> I don't know what he'll do. (I think this makes more sense >_>)

09
"Syaoran" and -> "Syaoran," and (comma)
10
Sakura... the princess... -> I knew, but I didn't say anything.
And that was because / she trusted you. -> That was because Sakura... the Princess, / she trusted you. (can break after Sakura if it doesn't fit)

anything -> at all (for clarity)
p04
isn't it? -> don't you think?

p05
The 'besides' looks cramped... would it deviate too far if we changed it to a shorter word to fit the bubble, such as 'and'? >>;;;
(there is still time -> she still has time?)
...The -> ...the (for future reference, a word directly following beginning ellipses should be lowercase, unless it is a proper noun. if it wants to be capitalized, there should be a space between the word and the ellipses i.e. '... The')

cut 'that was'
p13
shiro-manjuu -> white muffin (?? do we usu. translate it?)

right leg, -> right leg. (comma -> period)
gone along as I had planned -> gone according to plan (personal op.)
