The larger problem is getting translators. You need a translator to translate ACCURATELY the Japanese, since Japanese and English is so different. Because of this, the translator has to either be really fluent in Japanese and English, or you need a proofreader who knows a bit of japanese.
Cleaners are a dime a dozen. The hardest part is getting a copy of GIMP or Photoshop. The scan posted above is a crap scan; the good ones are actually debound from the book.
Manga>Anime *trollface*

No one can "accurately" translate Japanese. It depends on the person. And of course Manga > Anime. Imagination is much better! lol
