Replica - Moto Tsuma no Fukushuu

...starting to feel bad for Kippei. It's like watching an adult give a kid the Eric Cartman treatment.

Damn.. even after gone through such humiliation, that serial infidelity is still beyond repair as if he loves to cheat like his life was dependent on it

question, is the artist using AI? i feel like the art sometimes is not consistent, be the art itself or the background/props on the scenes, sometimes the panels looks like they have been resized or are smudged on the lines.

i'm not sure if it's confirmed or not but looking at the raws, i think the TL might've used some kinda editing software to 'upscale' the images? bc it looks quite large if you set it to 'no limit'

https://reader.mangaplaza.com/speed...03009771/?order=up&content_id=103030097710001 it's a bit smaller on the 'official' one even if you zoom in but idk the full resolution if you were to pay for the chapters

This series frankly speaking is pain in the ass... the amount of self-reflection narrative text are like crazy compare to the other series I am translating. So what's the deal with self-reflection narrative text? These japanese text are drawn directly onto the illustration. The process of removing these text in order to make way for english text, runs the risk of destroying the artwork. The only way to maintain the original artwork, is as you have guessed it... AI. One chapter a day speed means I only make sure the character's face and body is not affected to much. Anything else, I'm ok for the minor defects. If you are here for the illustrations then I'm sorry, but most of the readers here are for the storyline. Look, best thing in the world are free stuff. You're reading for free so be happy. Otherwise, Beggars Can't Be Choosers.

nor beggar nor chooser, i just thought the artist was using AI considering that there is some manga out there that are using it, hell there was one that won a prize and was doing better than a lot of legit drawn manga, but thank for the clarification, so its not ai drawn is just AI touched up .

Wao... All the volume covers look like they were generated by an LLM using the exact same prompt.

I'm not saying they were generated, I'm saying that all of them can be described with the same phrase, and the variations between them can be attributed to the randomness you get with typical image generation.

We used to get an almost daily new chapter and now none for over 2 months..... does anyone know what happened? if translator caught up to the manga? if its on a hiatus? any other reason?

Did you read my comments in the last chapter? Well, Vol 19 just released yesterday, so I'm waiting for the raw to come available.

I really don't get that impression, even though the covers are so uncanny. It just seems like the artist has a passion for rendering way more than they do for studying anatomy. Kind of like when you see someone drawing really detailed hair or girl eyes on their notebooks in class, but they can't draw the bodies to match. Not to be mean to the author either cus I think it makes the series stand out

The poses are also off in a way that I think an LLM would have trouble with.

This is awesome also, thank you for posting this strangely hateful series!!

Read my comment again. I said nothing about the style. I was just pointing out that all the volume covers look more or less the same.
