[undeed]

huh...
is this the volume release version?

subtle differences
fixed and cleaner drawing here and there

but....
I don't know why....
comparing the two, it feels like the old drawing of Ayano is... uh... cuter than this new more detailed version,
I'm not sure.
It's like this new one is ... slightly more adult vibe?
The old one looks more childish or naive

 

[Nautical]

this is creepy

In the older version of the chapter, the image resolutions are 650×924 pixels, while in the new one they’re 1351×1920 pixels. This means the new images are significantly larger and offer much greater visual detail and clarity. To put it in perspective, the old images have about 600,000 pixels each, while the new ones have over 2.5 million each. As a result, this version captures finer details, making textures, edges, and the overall composition noticeably more refined.

yeah, no
it's not about resolution

they're redrawn for sure

 

[subliminalduck]

Definitely aged up. Compare page 24 on the new and old version. She's literally taller and her legs were drawn longer

 

[neozeed]

It looks like Jaga completely almost completely redrew this between the magazine and volume. No idea why.

You guys are right, the chapter was definitely redrawn. It’s especially clear when you look at the background:

But the thing is... which one is the redraw?

I did some digging into it. I found the “old version” in two places: on COMIC FUZ’s X account and on Nico Nico Manga. But here’s where things get weird.

On the COMIC FUZ website, the first chapter is listed as published on September 20, 2022—and that version is the “redrawn version.”

The “old version” was published on Nico Nico on April 25, 2023, and the X post with that version came even later—on November 1, 2023. So why would COMIC FUZ use the “old version” on X instead of the “redrawn version”?

So, I checked volume 1, which came out on April 27, 2023, and here’s the plot twist: the chapter there is actually the “old version.”

So it seems the “old version” is actually the redrawn one—not the other way around. If you look at the phone in the side-by-side image I posted, you can see it’s way more detailed and realistic in the so-called “old version.” So yeah, to me, it definitely feels like it’s the other way around.

On a side note, the X post also included a clean version of the colored page:

Great research!
This is quite weird....
And by looking to both side by side , i gotta say personally i like uhhh " the original"? Better . the one that was posted here 2 years ago , the is less "scratchy" lines , more bold and thicker lines , Hayano looks cuter over-all , in this version she looks older? wich i don't dislike but it contrast with the rest of the manga kinda weird. But this version is clearly more detailed in some things , but it has less contrast in others? Ishikis suit has grey tones where they previusly was clear black shadows before.
I can see this being the original and the other version the re-draw

huh... interesting

ok, so TL;DR is that... in the volume version is the "cuter" version?
I mean, that's the most important thing for me.
Because I do want to buy this manga if there is an English release someday.

Yep, the volume version is the “cuter” version.

I think I like the version that was just posted a bit more… which is where ayano looks more mature? which is the redrawn version?? but it’s actually the older version???

Nice research! I managed to find the Koibumi thread on 4chan /a/:

(archive here: https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/280374099/)

And it turns out the version that was just posted here are indeed the web raws, as stated by the TS:

Also shoutout to this anon who created gifs of each page to compare both versions.
