Akanabe-sensei wa Tereshirazu - Vol. 5 Ch. 49 - Kouki Sakieda's Convention

[Davpyu]

Just a quick opinion poll here:

Volume 5 doesn't come out for a while yet (probably June) so we're working off the magazine raws now... and they are rough. The volume raws just need a little denoising to correct for compression artifacts, but these raws need significant upscaling and screentone replacement.

So... would you prefer us to wait for the volume raws, or are the pages in chapter 49 good enough?

(ToruScans leader here)

honestly, just wait for volume version to comes out first

All these green flags and he's too sissy to kiss her bro any other man would have already proposed

 

[blablablub]

Are you a fan of Sakieda-sensei?

Fan, girlfriend, boss.

You'll find in a lot of manga a common hang-up for one half of the main couple is feeling unworthy of their partner. That they can't progress or take things further until they feel like they won't shame or drag down their partner's reputation.

I would like you to wait just to lessen the burden on the team.

If you decide to wait, would it be a good idea to add a notice about it to the uploaded pages? Or will it just serve as unnecessary encouragement for potential sniping?

man had the perfect oppurtunity to give her a romantic hug or kiss on the cheek while she was down

He isn't even good with kissing in private, how is he going to kiss in public? And not just in public – at the biggest manga event in Japan.

I read some manga titles that would really benefit from better raws but this isn’t one of them. There weren’t any upscaling artifacts that immediately jumped out at me.

Thank you for your tl!

I don't mind the delay for the better raws if the extra work inconveniences you too much.

You're already doing a great job!

And the quality is already good!

I can see that you upscale the image when I zoom in. High quality is good, but sometimes the upscale takes the beauty of the art, so do it in moderation.

Other than that, I would rather you continue with what you have even with low-quality raws. I can wait, but I'd rather not…

caught my single ass smiling

I’ll say release one chapter with the rough raws. That way it won’t be three months of waiting for the ppl that are impatient. And it keeps snipers away. You could always re release it after getting the quality raws

I’d say we can wait?
if it’ll mean a consistent release schedule with good quality

i think it’s best to wait

Was discussing this with the CLRD. One of our options would be to release one or two chapters before the volume comes out and then switch to the volume raws... but then we're back in the same position waiting for volume 6 and so on.

We also discussed potentially doing a re-release but that means redoing the CLRD which is quite a bit of extra work to ask.

What it would probably mean is a batch of releases not long after the volume drops and then another long wait.

For some of our series like Tonari no Kuderella or Soretomo Time Leap ni Suru, we exclusively use volume raws. We haven't caught up so there hasn't been any incentive to switch to magazine raws. Most of our series use the web raws published on comicwalker and the like, but the quality varies massively. Some series like Miyu-chan wa Zutto Tomodachi don't get any pre-processing at all, meanwhile Ryoushin no Shakkin requires an elaborate (and slow) network to get something decent (That series has the lowest resolution raws I've ever worked opn at 650x933px).

Some series scanlations I read/have read in the past have been released in batches following volume release, like Risou no Himo Seikatsu and Insomniacs After School, but given the very recent snipe attempt here on Akanabe, I'm reluctant to tempt fate.

A fair number of folks do seem content to wait for the volume chapters, but consensus seems to be that the upscaling we're doing on Akanabe is good enough for a series where the art isn't a major focus, and that waiting 2 to 3 months for the volume risks losing readers or being sniped. For now we're going to continue with the magazine raws and upscaling process. Personally, I would like to wait for better raws to put out the best product we can, but it's pretty demoralizing for staff to see their hard work basically get ignored because some other group put out AI slop a week before us and all the views/discussion went to the slop. Basically, if the image quality of the pages we're putting out isn't a problem, then I'm content to stick with the magazine raws and work towards catching up to the author.

i have no idea if its possible, but maybe spread out a couple rough chapters and when the volume raws come out switch over?

thanks for translating

Thanks for the chapter!!!
