SUNNY Sixteen - Ch. 1 - So ugly

[MangaDex]

So this happened.

I really wanted to work on a high school series with some level of genuine emotional depth, and I was intrigued by the character work here and the photography hook. I know next to nothing about photography, but I thought "Hey, there's people I can pester about this stuff", and they - very kindly - humored me. On a more practical level it was practise for getting through pages faster, and (mostly) ignoring SFX, though some of the redraws I did do still took longer than I liked.

Anyway, there you go. No idea if I'll keep going - depends on what happens next, obviously - but if it keeps up this level of quality then I may very well do.

Thanks for picking this up, can you translate the summary too

honestly 'seizing up' /freezing when someone hits on you seems like something dangerous/leading to getting dragged off, maybe she should still keep that 'emergency buzzer' elementary kids use (honestly feels like something everyone should have on them versus police being near a school and prioritizing kids using it)

feels like this might need a psych tag if not a drama one lol

thanks for the translation, I can't endorse if it was correct since I don't speak Japanese, but I can tell you put a lot of thought into it and that alone deserves praise

Thanks for picking this up! Seeing how many series you scan that I follow, I can see you're quite the hard worker 😆

I've been curious about this series since it was first announced, so I'm looking forward to seeing more!

 

[undeed]

so... a more serious version, story driven, character driven of that Mono anime/manga?

looks good

 

[mrboxeater]

Feels bit bland...MCs more like a middle schooler or something, shes just Bocchi the photographer

Fixed a typo, made one small tweak (there's always little things where I'm not fully sure I got them right but I noticed one that made me think "No, that's definitely wrong").

No idea how to change any of the details on a MD entry, if I actually can. Sorry if it's something really obvious I'm missing.

And while I don't especially want it to get super-dark or anything - it doesn't feel like that sort of story - I would hope, whether or not I keep working on this one, that the mangaka continues to treat her condition with some degree of seriousness, because yeah, IMO that's how he's pitching it so far. Freezing up for over ten minutes is a hell of an anxiety attack.

Don't worry about it, i think more ppl would filter out stuff than search some tags but hopefully there's no issues in editing/uploading otherwise

This seems like it’ll be a good read. Thanks for the chapter

Hey - for anyone who's checking these threads, deeply sorry, but I will not be uploading anything further to MangaDex. (And I do not do so/haven't done so elsewhere, for anyone wondering.) Yes, it's for the obvious reason(s). Feel free to work on anything I've done, if you're that motivated. You could probably do a better job than me (certainly faster).

I would not count on my uploads staying around, regardless of whether or not any of them are set to be affected, if you take my meaning.

No rant forthcoming, or anything (who would care anyway, right?). I'm somewhat upset about it, sure, but eh, it was always a possibility, I knew I was giving this a try at a time when it was an ever-increasing possibility, and publishers are well within their legal rights. Not seething with rage at MD, either. Thanks to anyone who left kind comments in the short time I've been here. Just wanting to be polite and say I'm out.
