Stalled The Girl with Sanpaku Eyes title page fixes

[Valle_reading_manga]

The Girl with Sanpaku Eyes has 2 (3) different title pages:

• the serialized version
• pre-serialization / twicomi

Unfortunately, the pre-serialized version has retail links and covers copied over from the serialized one. Additionally, there are chapters marked as volume 1, which should probably go back to no volume (unless the pre-serialization version was sold at some point too?). And since the official raw link doesn't really help, some help to figure out the first chapter's release (for the publication start date) and finding maybe a higher res version of the cover used on MU would be appreciated.

As for the serialized version, most things were easily fixed but there's one "issue" remaining: comparing older uploads to the linked official raw/pixiv or more recent uploads, you'll notice some differences:
The most noticeable one (I've found so far) being ch. 1
But even in later chapters, the EN version's backgrounds aren't as detailed.

Therefore, it may be worth a thought to split the serialized version even further into different titles. Assuming these were simply changes made between different circulations and considering the differences don't seem to be too big, I think keeping things as is, is fine. That being said, if you know where the EN chapters came from and can confirm there is a third version, please share your information!

Spoiler: Appendix

Earlier I mentioned there are (3) title pages, the one I haven't talked about so far would be the Extras collection. Once again, I don't really know where those originated from (doesn't help that the title page doesn't have any links) so while it seems to be a mix of side/extra stories, 4koma and illustrations, I can't really judge whether the title page should be further split or whether chapters should be moved between existing pre-serializiation chapters for example...

Finally got some time to take a look at it and it seems, There are indeed at least three version:

(i) 三白眼ちゃん/Sanpakugan-chan/三白眼ちゃんのお話/Sanpakugan-chan no Ohanashi/The Story of a Girl with Sanpaku Eyes

Official Raw: https://www.pixiv.net/user/2071786/series/34490 / https://x.com/i/events/990846907982360576 (Twitter Moments/Events don't work anymore though)

Have tried looking for a volume release for this, didn't find any but The MangaUpdates page does mention:

Volume 1: The Story of a Girl With Sanpaku Eyes

Volume 2: The Story of Noticing the Girl With Sanpaku Eyes

Volume 3: 4-koma

Volume 4: Extras

No clue what's up with this, Possible Volume 2 was just ii (Mentioned below) and Volume 3 and 4 were Sanpaku Eyes Extras (https://mangadex.org/title/e60f1147-f771-455a-9e1e-33779e2bd631/sanpaku-eyes-extras, Appendix) based on the fact these extras were not included on either Pixiv index or Twitter Moments/Events? Could ask Rotoscopic about it possibly?*

Publication Start Date as per Pixiv: April 24, 2018 (Is April 8, 2018 as per AniList so I'm guessing that's when the first episode was posted on Twitter/X, https://anilist.co/manga/101867/Sanpakuganchan-no-Ohanashi/, Couldn't find the specific post myself due to twitter rate limits, Tried twicomi https://twicomi.com/author/syunsuke1009/sort/date/page/16 (Sort by oldest first) but no posts on that date show up on it)

That cover seems to be from chapter 10 of this series: https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/69189822

(ii) 三白眼ちゃんは伝えたい。/ Sanpakugan-chan wa Tsutaetai./The Feelings of a Girl with Sanpaku Eyes i.e. Actual Pre-Serialization version

Official Raw: https://www.pixiv.net/user/2071786/series/38140 / https://x.com/syunsuke1009/status/1004317076788408320 (Chapter 1)

This is the version that was later serialized after the release of Chapter 6

Chapters of (ii) and (iii) are mixed together on md entry https://mangadex.org/title/36306bbb-d12a-471d-af54-413c6b00c14e/the-girl-with-the-sanpaku-eyes, I think it's better to split them

Went ahead and and made a new entry for (iii)
https://mangadex.org/title/aa4ad576-a5e0-4025-b7df-54f910ad0ecd/the-girl-with-the-sanpaku-eyes
Moved appropriate chapters to the new Serialized page of ii i.e. iii and edited the links, covers, etc. for the other pages...

Now someone request the indo translator to do chapters 1-6 of the serialized version lol

Chapter 6.1 on the Pre-Serialized page (links below) might go to the extras page?

Thanks a lot! So, with covers, publication start dates and links out of the way, the only remaining issues would be the chapter you mentioned. Additionally I noticed the extras title has a translated cover so digging out corresponding raws would be nice I suppose.
You mentioned making a change request at MU, does this mean some tracking links still need to be changed as well?
And going by page count, it seems like ch. 3 of the extras might've been the second vol 1 omake of the serialization...

Sorry for my late reply I was procrastinating...

No problem, Yes.

Additionally I noticed the extras title has a translated cover so digging out corresponding raws would be nice I suppose.

Found!
https://x.com/syunsuke1009/status/997669736564514816 (You want to update it?)

You mentioned making a change request at MU, does this mean some tracking links still need to be changed as well?

I was trying to get "Sanpakugan-chan wa Tsutaetai." and its pre-serialization titles get split into seperate titles but seems they just changed the release name:
https://www.mangaupdates.com/releases/archive?search=35170445769&search_type=series
https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/g5nkpmx/sanpakugan-chan-wa-tsutaetai
for the pre-serialization chapters, If the contents the same/almost the same tracking sites such as anilist and mu keep only 1 title, See:
https://mangadex.org/title/3f675719-5477-4add-a198-17a66e249d9c/superstring-isekai-kenbunroku
https://mangadex.org/title/8b79ef1e...-string-marco-polo-s-travel-to-the-multiverse
Maybe this case will be regarded as the same, Unsure about other tracking sites, So maybe a new title needs to be created for either pre-serialization or serializationon them...

And going by page count, it seems like ch. 3 of the extras might've been the second vol 1 omake of the serialization...

I actually downloaded the volume 1 when I was checking this out and just checked and it's not the same...
You mean chapter 3 here (https://mangadex.org/title/e60f1147-f771-455a-9e1e-33779e2bd631/sanpaku-eyes-extras), right?

 

[Valle_reading_manga]

Talk about procrastinating, I'm finally responding
I replaced the cover with the one you linked. Since you also checked out the extra chapter, the only remaining thing would be the tracking link(s ?) I guess? I've not contributed to these sites so far, so idk if it's worth the time to report these things and wait for them or if we just call it a day here
