Yuuyuu Jiteki. - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Paper Airplane

[AzrefReza]

You’re really good with your hands!!

She’s starting to get ideas…


Also @friggmen, pages 11 and 15 aren’t the same size as the others.
But as others have pointed out, you really don’t need to upscale: I have to put my screen in 30% zoom in order for the page to be readable; otherwise, a single panel doesn’t even fit in the screen.

This is how it looks like if I keep my screen in full size: I can’t see the drawing and the bubbles at the same time. Unreadable.

As to how not to have the images pixelate after you worked on it… maybe don’t use crappy compression parameters when exporting? What software are you even using?

How many raws is the other team behind on?

The Japanese is currently up to Chapter 12.

Well its currently on chapter 13 for the raws

No‽‽‽

I needed this confirmation, thank you o7

Hope you guys enjoyed the scan! Do let us know what we can fix and what we need to work on. Have a great morning, evening, or afternoon—wherever you may be.

Hey, looks like you haven't got a decent quality RAW for this, so I'll just leave THIS HERE. Feel free not to use this...
If you want to tag the chapters to its respective volumes, Vol 1. covers chapters 1-8. Not really a deal breaker if it's tagged or not, you do you.
Also, AFAIK, the current chapter is only at 8, can't really find where you've got that 13 chapters you mentioned...
That's it from me and ciao ciao!

Like I’ve said before, if they have an issue with us posting the manga, we will take the translations down. For now, we will post as is.
Regarding the second comment: like I’ve said in another post, the software we are using pixelates the manga. If you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue, or have another way of scaling or even another free software we can use please let us know.

As for your final comment, if you can find us a manga that currently has no translations in English that you’re personally interested in, leave it as a suggestion for us to translate. We don't mind picking up new manga. For the time being, we will continue to translate this manga unless the scan group has an issue with us posting it. If you have an issue with us posting, the other scan group may post eventually

You're assuming that they have no issue because they haven't said that they have an issue. That's flawed reasoning, and in cases like this you should not assume that. Assume that they do have an issue unless you are told otherwise, not the other way around.

And there are like a million choices for image editing software. Just use Krita or Fire Alpaca or something.

We personally believe people want to see the chapters translated already, and so we are translating them for the public to see. Until the point that the scan group says they have an issue with us translating the manga, I don't believe there should be any problem. If another scan group came in to do the translations for a manga we were translating (and where a bit behind on), we'd welcome it. if this scan group were to be far behind on a manga we were translating and someone else started to translate it, it would be a load off our shoulders. This is why we are translating this manga.

We'll look in to krita and fire alpaca

We appreciate you, we definitely "won't" be using this for future translations. I'm not sure why there are 13 chapters on Pixiv, they're just kind of there. I'm assuming they're just bonus chapters, or maybe something else.

Again, I'll remind you that the other group uploaded a chapter literally ten days ago. They are in the processes of catching up to the latest chapter. You can't use "they were behind" as an excuse, as they were in the process of fixing that issue when you sniped them. (Though, honestly, they might have just given up considering how few people seem to care that you sniped them.) Every translation is going to be incomplete at some point; completed translations don't just appear out of thin air. Hell, your translation isn't even complete.

I really do not understand how you don't get this.

Like, look at it like this. Imagine you're a construction working building a house. You're working on it steadily, but then another company comes around and shoves you out of the way and starts working on it themselves, justifying it by saying "well, you hadn't finished the house. We personally believe the contractors want to see the house built already, so we're building it for them to sell." Does that line of reasoning make sense? Is it justified? Your construction team was already working on that house, weren't they? They were going to finish it in due time, so isn't it kind of rude of that other company to take over?

Procreate is what we use currently

I'm gonna be personally honest with you, this doesn't involved the group or anything for what i'm gonna say to you dawg. You just seem to be having an issue with nothing dude, if the scan group lets us know that they have an issue, they let us know, and we take them down, simple as that, your constant bickering with what we tell you just seems to be you wanting to cause an argument, I'm not letting you, because there are people who do want to read more of this, and where waiting for more chapters to come out. my group doesn't plan on take a thing that someone wants to translate, if they want to continue translating for this manga (the original group), they can, and if they have an issue with us posting ( like i said before) they can let us know and we will take them down. if you have an issue with us posting it just don't read them. simple easy. this will be my last comment to you dude, please have a great day.

Yeah, you know what? You're just being actively malicious, pretending you don't understand why I'm upset that you've very likely made the other group drop the series so that you can continue your shitty translation that literally makes me nauseous. There's no point to continuing arguing with you, so I'll just be blocking your group.

 

[mikhi]

Currently, the software we are using (best we could find currently, any suggestions for other software's would be helpful) pixelates the raw quality, requiring us to upscale. If you have any suggestions for fixing this, please let us know. If not, we will be posting the translations as they are, without upscaling, and we'll let you guys decide what is better. As for your second comment, we aren't making excuses, nor is it our intent to steal the manga from the other scan group. If they have an issue with us posting the manga, we will gladly take them down.

Jumping in the conversation here, I have absolutely no stake in this and frankly don't care, I just am really shocked because what damn software are you using to rip the raws?

Are you using a bad raw ripping tool? You can literally just right click images on pixiv and the quality will be just fine! There's plenty of scripts, downloaders and the such at just a simple google search away, hell i'm sure ChatGPT or whatever can find them too. Tools like Hakuneko (or well, Haruneko now) can get the raws in like... 5000x7000, if you know how to use them. There's plenty way to get the raws in perfectly fine quality.

Or are you using something that just destroys the raws during the cleaning/typesetting process? I saw you used procreate which... wouldn't really be a best recommendation for anyone. Maybe try to fix whatever happening there? Alternatively, just switch to something more standard, like Photoshop, or Clip Studio Paint. There's cracks for both everywhere, and CSP does extreme sales a couple times a year too, with their licenses still being perpetual.

Putting your choice of series aside (which I disapprove of, but that's frankly my opinion, and not relevant to my point right now), your scanlation isn't half bad considering it's your first time. That being said, there's a lot of things you could 100% do better. Maybe consider joining scanlator school? They have plenty of chats, resources, and members ready to help you out with everything from getting the raws to publishing the final chapter.

 

[SUPER7X]

Vol 1. covers chapters 1-8.
Also, AFAIK, the current chapter is only at 8, can't really find where you've got that 13 chapters you mentioned...

I corrected them about the 13 (they were apparently just counting the number of posts in the pixiv series), but you're confused too. There are 12 chapters currently out, not 8. There are 8 chapter collections*, and 4 of those chapter collections contain 2 chapters, hence 12 chapters. You are correct that Volume 1 contains Chapters 1–8. You could also say it contains Chapters Collections 1–6, as its retail description does, BUT this is not strictly accurate! The volume does not include the 2 bonus pages each from Chapter Collections 2–6, thereby giving people incentive to still buy them. (And the volume has its own bonus pages, thereby giving readers an incentive to buy it.)

*On terminology: I was previously calling them “evolume”s, and while that is an accurate translation of the term the author was using, it's just kind of strange when the volume is also digital-only (for now!). Also retail sites aren't using the term. So I switched to “chapter collection”s as that is an established thing, even if 4/8 having only 1 chapter is also strange. Aside from 1, they are collected with bonus pages! It works!

Just ignore him, he's crashing out lol.
I agree with others that the upscaling is not necessary.
If you can release chapters faster at serviceable quality than I don't really care who does it. The whole concept of "sniping" is the dumbest shit I've seen in the manga community in 25+ years.

Thank you! We are planning to drop the next chapter on Monday without upscaling. From there, we'll judge based on how the community reacts to the translation quality and adjust Chapter 3 accordingly.

Can’t really say “they are in the process of catching up to the latest chapter” if they are 9-10 chapters behind the raws

 

[AzrefReza]

Procreate is what we use currently

Aaaah… Maybe use some decent tool instead? If you can’t/won’t use Photoshop, GIMP does the job all right.

If they hadn't uploaded for a month or had otherwise let these chapters pile up, you'd have a point. But they had uploaded a chapter only 9 days ago when this group decided that they were too far behind. If you think that that's a long enough time to indicate that they had dropped the series, you clearly haven't been on this website very long.
