"bestfriend", eh?

 

[emmypacer]

were we meant to be siding with the protag here? because he's a delusional moron who's just going to get more people infected/killed.

 

[Hollow7F]

@RoundRobin thats a different family, his sister tranformed when he was little and killed both parents

How fascinating. Was not expecting a full handdrawn SFX RD from a random group on a random oneshot. Are those CSP brushes, or did you add the effect yourselves? That said, a lot of the handdrawn stuff is very poorly aliased. You can see the sharp pixel edges, especially on the Grrr's in the second half of the chapter. The strokes are also heavily aliased too. Typically you would handdraw the text at a higher resolution and then downscale, but I don't know if that would be compatible with the brushes you are using (I am assuming it is CSP). Some of it looks particularly MS-paint-y, honestly.
Other than that the SFX themselves look great.

@QSS thank you for noticing! Most of them are CSP while others solely PS. It was an unusual decision by us since this oneshot we felt needed that treatment if you check the raws. However, yes, we noticed that issue. I tried to fix it but it seems going from CSP to PS proved some issues. One being it tinted everything red? Causing us to have to constantly grayscale. To limited the sharp edges though we had to just draw them in CSP and then modify in PS, but that still left some issues.

Maybe in the future I'll perfect this art of drawing sfx, but I'm glad besides the unfortunate pixeliness, you liked them! They took a lot of time aha.

An interesting work for sure, thanks for translating it. While I can understand the struggle of the protagonist, also considering the current situation we are in globally, I can certainly understand that the government will try to catch and isolate those already infected by this "disease". And just saying: "Oh, THIS one is fine and won't bite" is certainly not a stance I would be willing to take on a societal scale when this bite would mean even more people loosing their reasoning and humanity.

The agony of oneshots 🤧

 

[Yabaibunni]

@ckckckck it's only genetic, the disease. So taking infected people and hiding them away is to only stop them from being violent and killing people, like the guy's sister did to their parents. However, they only get violent when you're afraid of them—like normal dogs ^^.

@Yabaibunni Ah thanks, I wasn't sure if it is really only genetics or genes just increased the chances of getting it.
