This is more a preview than an actual release since I am looking for people to help me with the type setting on this. For more information check:

Is it the non mirrored version?
Pajeet
@pinakroy040 it’s mirrored.
@Manga_and_Stuff honestly, this looks fantastic! How long does it take you to upscale and type set a single chapter?

@Pajeet One chapter with around 60 images takes pretty much exactly 10 minutes… and makes my GPU nice and toasty…

You can typeset 60 Pages in 10 minutes? !

@pajeet oh… upscale AND type set… yeah that took like 4 hours for this chapter alone…
Pajeet
@Manga_and_Stuff now that seems more reasonable ^_^
Looking forward to future progress…

This is mostly unrelated but could you share your italian raws with me? I’m italian myself and I’d love to read them.

Interesting
Whyexes
Comparing these to the english colored version that has been around forever is interesting. The old version looks like it has more detail just because it was scanned off of crappy paper, and the colors are more washed out which almost make this look “unnatural” even though its just better scans. What kind of paper does the Italian version use?
Do you intend to release a version that hasn’t been run through gigapixel?

I’m interested on helping with the typesetting. Although I would prefer doing it on the Otomo original version (B&W and Right to Left). Ideally with 6 people (one per volume) this can be done in a week.
