This is the out of print Shoujo classic, A A' (aka A A Prime) by Hagio Moto. Scanned by me and mostly edited by Cicero, although I did a lot of dust cleaning. Editing this really sucked. It appears the old Viz release didn't have access to the original Japanese printing files, so they scanned in the Japanese printed version, over-leveled it and then left all the rest of the dust in. It's literally printed on the page. I manually cleaned a ton of it, but the scans still look like they were salted and peppered. Anyway, tried to save as much details as possible, but you can blame Viz for leveling it too hard and losing quite a bit of the mid-tones.

LEGEND!!!!! I've been wanting to read this for over TWENTY YEARS!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!
BTW, a lot of Viz's early manga volumes looked exactly as you described. You should see Ranma 1/2, it's just ridiculous. I don't think they even bothered to scan them; they look like a really bad photocopy job.
