🤨

I'm terrible at this. If someone without a page covering watermark is doing it I can stop trying to force it.

 

[cromat]

being bad at something is the first step to being good at something

Upload still in the mod queue and there are now two comments!?
Sacred @cromat what are you doing here?

 

[cromat]

i thought reverendj was the one who uploaded it since he started the comment thread.

anyway are u gonna take over this? if u are then ill back off

 

[fruitmorning]

I can* but my main concern is that the fontset I've used may be controversial. The fontset I've used is similar to the manga but different from Helveltica's. I want to get some feedback if I should match Helveltica's (as much as possible) or use the new fontset or some compromise. (Also if you somehow see this, can you also comment if the fontset is a mess or not?)
BTW, here's the image (since it is still stucked in the queue): https://imgur.com/a/xabyxz5

* Next chapter planned in Thu/Fri since I need to prepare the raws (especially the new GIFed chapter).

(Edited since this is BBcode and not Markdown. Also does ping actually work, @cromat? Also, fourth panel's reaction is not edited. Never mind, will fix later.)

 

[cromat]

you can try one of the variants of CC wildword.

idk which one since there's a bunch of them but they're all similar with a little bit of variety.

 

[fruitmorning]

I'm aware of the Wildword fonts, but I want to gather (all readers as much as possible) if the new look is better, meh or should not be used.

 

[cromat]

u can also try all capping and bolding the font. i think thats what makes it look a bit off to me, the non capital letters.

 

[fruitmorning]

Okay, will be back in an hour.

 

[fruitmorning]

@cromat, here is V2 of the chapter: https://imgur.com/a/c9sauyt
I've also adjusted the translation so that it will be closer to grammatically-correct English versus V1.

 

[cromat]

yep nope, i think the font is off putting lol. but thats just me

the sfx font is fine tho

 

[taxxicaab]

ehh i think the font in this one is good, fits the art style of the manga.

 

[AW14Saurabh]

Please decrease the font size and increase it's emphasis by just a bit

 

[fruitmorning]

S/N (again!):
- The fonts I chose is what is nearer to the original manga, which uses a more palyful gothic (sans-serif) than the usual ones (uses Ming which in English is adapted in the famillar comic lettering). If you like or don't like this, leave a comment so that I can see if I will stick to these fonts.
- I'll be back on Thu/Fri in case everyone is satisfied on this (for buffer, mirroring what Helveltica might have done if this is still not licesed in NA).
- Yes, animated versions will be available (as long as the original is also animated).
- I'm currently at work, so please be a little more considerate (I'll answer any questions later).

 

[Nyuula]

the font looks fine to me?? i think my only issue is the heading font (chapter title): i feel like it'd be more appropriate for a horror series.
either way, thanks for picking this up, @fruitmorning !! ^u^

 

[bowser_communist]

Fonts fine in my book, at the end of the day its free manga so like i dont think any of us can complain as long as the font us legible and isnt fuckin comic sans, times new roman, or papyrus

 

[Fuyuqi]

I would prefer the font to be smaller but beggars can't be choosers lol. Use whatever font you like, I'm just grateful we can still keep up with the chapters

 

[manabi]

I prefer the old font, but can deal with this one if you decide to stick with it. Even if this does match the original better, there's 744 chapters using the other font already on the site. Personally I'd match it just to keep things consistent in the fan translations. The title font is awful though, it needs to be different.

However, the English is very awkward. "I can keep my calmness if you suddenly hug me." is the worst one and a native speaker would do something like "I'll stay calm even if you suddenly hug me." That "can" in the last part is unnecessary and makes the sentence awkward as well. You could use a proofreader. I'd be willing to volunteer if you'd like, let me know.

 

[Azebu]

The font is pretty weird, but let's give it a couple chapters to see if we get used to it. I'd say 10-15.
You can always replace the font (and pages) later, right? Or is there a time limit on mangadex?
