As you can tell by the date on the Happy New Year message, we are quite far behind.

The good news is we have translations for up to chapter 31, and an experienced typesetter is taking up the role and working quite fast already.

I had no idea this was the same author as the Marimo Siblings, this author really never misses!

That's great news! I have missed reading this one.

Umm… Can I ask your team to increase the size of some of the letters?

Like this part here, for example...

If it's not too much to ask, of course.

We generally try to match the original sizing, position, and, as much as possible, avoid changing any art. The original text was pretty small, but this could have been made a little larger if we moved those little panic/sweat things to the left to make room.

If it's affecting the whole layout too much, then you don't have to, of course. Especially if it's ruining the art.

Happy 2025 everyone!
(I'm sure if I believe in it enough it'll be real)

Could you imagine re-setting to Jan 1st 2025? Knowing what we know now, how would people behave differently? (I'm looking at you America)

This is a case where I could have made the change without impacting things very much. The little sweat/panic drops are over a solid purple background and could easily be shifted to the left without breaking anything.

This series already gets some changes like this because the author uses extremely narrow text boxes -- some of those get widened, and in the case of the translucent boxes, I have to redraw the art underneath. Or in some cases there are those sweat drops inside the text boxes and some of them need to be shifted so the text isn't overlapping.

I just generally avoid doing so if it isn't necessary. I'll try to keep some cases like the one you mentioned in mind though.
