Oh, so that's what it was. Some panels look a bit creepy, I was wondering what went wrong, if it was some redraw artifacts or something.
That's a shame, especially since the freely available raws are easy to extract in a good quality.
No, none of the pages were upscaled, the raws were already in this condition. Please don't make assumptions.

Thanks for the chapter. I was very surprised to see a colour panel. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but is that night sky done with Deep(dot)ai image colourisation API? I've done two manga panels with a starry night sky through it and the colouring looks similar, although I'd have expected the grass to have been made an ungodly yellow hue haha. Either way, it looks very nice!
None, it was done by hands. ^_^

We didn't upscale anything. Please try to understand. Just don't go believing other's opinion
It's absolutely upscaled, you just weren't the one who did it. Shit sucks, but I suppose it's not your fault then. Ultimately, unless we buy you the volume you can just ignore our commentary on the image quality. That was the only issue.

The colour is not in the original.
Edit: Nevermind. They confirmed that it wasn't the API but by hand. That explains why the grass isn't coloured because the API would have done that too.

Yeah, I know. I was just wondering if the colouring was done by the Image Colorization API that is on Deepai(dot)org. It is a website that has several Machine Learning API's, one of which is generally used to turn black and white photographs into colour. The colouring of the night sky in this chapter looks quite similar to two other manga panels I've run through the API that also featured a night sky. The API was trained on real life photographs though (and works quite well with B&W Photos), but it only works with quite detailed/"busy" manga panels, and quite often messes up the hue, which I find to usually be a yellowy green. I noticed a seemingly yellow hue under the leaves on the top right, on the mountains on the right side of the horizon and the MC's hair.

Here (NSFW & "Kanojo mo Kanojo" Ch. 82 Spoilers) is one of the panels I've done and you'll see the night sky is coloured similarly in its gradient.

This is as long as I can read, this manga is way too colorful, makes me want to vomit.

All good, thanks for your work! I only did one chapter (that being chapter 2) but I was sure someone would go and fix it because I forgot to use all caps haha. To be honest, I just used MS Paint so I don't know how hard or time consuming typesetting is, but if you'd like to, I give you full permission to rip my translation and release a better version with actual typesetting. Well, not that my translation is that good, but a shoddy translation is better than no translation I'd like to think ^_^

Thank you for the chapter. Even though you weren't the ones who did it, the pages were AI upscaled/redrawn by someone at some point. I checked the official raw site that's linked in the manga details and the pages look much cleaner, none of the uncanny blob faces and random specs of color here and there. Just stating a fact. I do appreciate the work on these chapters that everyone has contributed to.

It's fully colored now. :3
