50k people following this series so in my head this series has gone from a "small" series to a "medium" series, thank you everyone for enjoying this manga with me. To commemorate I've expanded the collage area into a double spread
It's kinda crazy that I started doing typesetting because a friend on discord wanted to read this exact series and i was "available" to do it. A lot of people will probably never know but the reason why i decided to stick with doing typesetting was out of spite, since right after i posted the first chapter after 4 months of no chapters the old group posted the next chapter, which meant that they were either, hogging all of the chapters for no reason, or just waiting for a reason to drop them. Yeah, I decided i was gonna do it until we reached the most recent chapter and if they decided to get back at it i'd let them, but then it was pretty obvious they were using a bad mtl to translate their chapter so i got even more fired up to do it.
In the end i "won", the old group left the series in my hands and even though i had to "fight" for this series a second time (you can see it in the chapters that are part 1 and 2 some time ago) I stayed strong with it doing most of it by myself.
then out of nowhere the person that was helping me with the tl just disapeared, PUFF, gone nothing on discord or anywhere, (which is why another person translated the chapter where uehara goes to miyamoto's house) and in these exact comments i revealed how if I didn't get another tl I'd not be able to continue doing it.
Then JH and Rosa appeared, they have been nothing but nice and helpful to me, helping me learn more about typeseting and scanlation in general, hell for the first time i felt like I could deliver something of much higher quality than what i was doing.
The simple fact that they were willing to do proofreading was incredible to me.
They helped me so much that i felt like I was kinda cheating them by only receiving help from them and not giving anything back, so i asked if i could help them in anything they were doing, and from that i realized that i kinda really like typesetting. Along with Now That We Draw, I am also helping/doing Asayake refrain, Kokoro No Program and Zenbu Kimi No Sei, and I'm enjoying every moment of it. Hell I've even become confortable enough to "mentor" and help a small team doing Seishun Bakusou!/Youth Explosion!
And everything has been so much fun.
What I'm trying to say is, thank you to everyone that stood by this series and helped me get better at typesetting, I could have never done it without everyone in this community, thank you for putting up with my horrible early cleaning, thank you for putting up with my inconsistent font sizes, thank you for putting up with delays and mistakes I do because I'm not very good at this overall, thank you to JHGamer and Rosa for helping me and never asking for anything in return (hell they didn't even ask me to change my janky ass credits page), thank you vverg in the forums and lunar on discord for helping me become better at typesetting, thank you Indio and Butcher from yandere scans for helping me get this entire thing on the road at the very beggining.
And thank you for reading this series, I hope I can keep doing it for as long as possible, and for as long as we all enjoy this series.
Next chapter in 2 weeks!!
