That's some nice coloring. When I first saw the update I was wondering how you would color it without destroying the atmosphere or the beautiful art but you did it.

I don't like to discourage artistic effort, and I feel kind of bad saying this, but this honestly looks much better without an amateurish coloring job attached. I only got about six pages in, but a monochrome yakuza dragon tattoo is just conceptually wrong and jarring, the eggs were an unnerving yellow, a lot of the wood is just brown instead of woody, and by-and-large the colouring just gives a feeling of "I drew this one carefully selected color within the lines" without much thought beyond that, showing consideration for neither lighting nor palette nor anything much else.

I also have mixed feelings in the first place for Mangadex being used as a place for people showing off their colouring-book skills—at least without much more obvious up-front disclaimers attached.

Sorry for being that one downer.

I'm with @Pokari with this one. It's obviously amateur's work and shouldn't be on Mangadex. Still, @abdellbobo keep working, you have a lot of place for improvement.

Now that I said that, people can eat me alive for it.

Mm, it does feel a bit off, since some colors are too bright, and most backgrounds are left untouched. It's still a great job being fan-made and everything: maybe it could work better to just have the first one or two pages of each chapter fully coloured instead? It's just a suggestion though

Yep,it's always great to have colored versions of manga(normal uncolored manga is kinda confusing).Good job!

Honestly feels like someone just opened photoshop, put a multiply layer over the manga and just used it as a coloring book. Actually makes the manga look flatter than the original version. I don't get why this was even warranted.

Absolutely not needed but actually I have to praise color palette of choise. Still looks eerie because original shades are made for black-and-white version and don't really work good with colors.
