I understands how Hiruno feels about having a parent that will harp on your grades & it can affect your mental fortitude when it is test day. Maybe it is me but I find the art a bit incomplete. Like some the panels I see background characters are just line figures that the author could not draw in all the details & the same with some of the background. Interesting manga for sure so will follow it. Thanks for the translations.

Typesetting needs some work, like in page 5, the first sentence is cut off. Some of the sentences didn't need to get hyphenated if the sentences were made smaller. Is genius also what the dude really meant at page 14? Seems kinda out of place to describe the interviewers. @KaikiMAX But since this is like you're second scanlation, you're already doing very well! The font choices worked really well.

I like that this story has Hiro and Rei actually struggle to study. Lots of these stories have the protagonist be a responsible or good student. I wanna see students who struggle in math in stories too! It's nice to see study groups actually study too.

I wonder how Rei and Hiro's study groups will go? Surely just being with her is gonna start rumors, right?

Both of their mothers seem to be strict. But if they are part of an ultra-elite school, then that would make sense. They want their children to get into the college too, after all.

Looks like you used a bubble cleaning action and then failed to put some text layers above the produced white layers.

A few more things to pay attention to:
1. Hyphenate only on syllables (i.e., impulse on page five should be im-pulse, as that’s where the syllables are). You even missed hyphenating some things entirely.
2. Page ten has the last letter of “perfect” on its own line (you do this in other places as well). This is extremely erroneous, as I’m sure you know.
3. I disagree that the font choice is good. Your dialogue font is not fitting for the tone of the manga (nor is it fitting for standard dialogue at all), and you use some illegible garbage for yelling. Don’t use cursive fonts, ever.
4. Your leading size (the space between two lines of text) is too big (it is likely the default for the font, but it’s too much regardless).
5. In lettering, the crossbar I (the I that has horizontal lines on the top and bottom) is reserved for the personal pronoun.
6. There are different kinds of dashes. Here you have used a hyphen (or en-dash) for every situation. Look up dashes and learn how they’re used.

Overall, it’s pretty poorly done. Rather, it looks like text was thrown on without much thought. If you care at all, put some more thought into it, ay?

Thanks for the feedback dude, I am actually new at this, can you recommend some place to learn all this?
