はじめまして。
「A」を運営しているBと申します。

あなたが運営しているサイトを拝見しました。
漫画という形式で分かりやすく日本文化を発信していて、非常に感銘をうけました。

是非、何らかの形でコラボレーションさせていただけないでしょうか？
もしよければ一度、お会いして色々と情報交換させていただければと思います。

ご検討のほどよろしくお願いいたします。

Hi , please kindly try to proofread your translate so you won't miss any statements. =)

Thank you! You're right I missed the part that talks about "having seen the website" sorry :(

But と申しますis a more polite way of saying my name is... So to say "my name is", then suddenly speak in the third person (who is...) is very unnatural.

Thank you very much for the review.

Am I allowed to comment on reviews like what I'm doing?

Hi koh31. Yes your opinions are valid. But some reviewers might take it personally. So as much as possible, try to be as polite as possible, okay?

Yeah, you got a point there.. I just think that Japanese language is naturally more polite than English. For this instance, it might be better to say.. "Hi there, I am B who currently manages A". A greeting prior to actually introducing oneself. Gambatte ne in translating.
