37 hours and a half. The total time that took us to prepare this chapter.
It’s not even in the quality I like, so I think later today and I might go back on the editing so I can make it look better. But I think those fixes is stuff nobody cares! This chapter, even without considering the RAW, is even of a higher quality than the chapters we released before this one.
If you actually care, come back and try re-downloading from the same link in few days. That version might have further proofreading and better graphics. We won’t issue a v2 officially, because we don’t like doing it too much. We didn’t do that since 2008.
I will write more in this post when I am done buying bread and meat.
Also, someone please upload it to mangafox and submit it to OneManga, because the 4chan one – with very much respect – has a graphic quality that just doesn’t make the cut. I can’t talk about the text in it because I am not a translator though.
Edit: I am back. There was the daughter of the baker. Nice stuff.
This chapter was kind of a turn off… I didn’t expect so many filler chapters altogether, even though each one does have a little development. I wish we could work with something massive like back when there were angeloid attacks and “dream travels”. Instead, we get yet again a chibi chapter in which Tomoki acts just like an old pervert. Meh.

Ok, where the hell was Nymph?
I am really pissed off. I request chapter 36 to be fully Nymph-driven (and possibly without violating her…).
Can you please say something when you release v2? I don’t want to download the chapter again and again just to check if it has been updated.
I will make the v2 obvious with some panel in the blog, alright.
OK, thanks.
Also some advices before you release v2:
Page 6: Oi, Oi! > Hey, hey!
Page 19: battle plan > plan/strategy
Page 23: One of the “Next!!” should be changed to “Next next!!”,”Next one”, or something like that, just to keep true to the original.
Page 24: “Your life is revolving.” The “f” got out of bound.
Page 31: Maniacs, demons etc > singular form. There is only one flying freak, one demon, one UMA and one killer chop girl in the club. And yeah you can just use UMA instead of unconfirmed living organism.
Page 34: grip > sushi. 握り means hand-formed, and usually refers to hand-formed sushi when used alone. Just google “握り” if you are not sure about that. Electric ball > light bulb. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_bulb
Page 35: Karate uniform > “wedding dress”. Originally it is read as wedding dress but written as Karate uniform, but it’s obvious that it is a karate uniform. Using wedding dress should have a better effect. Also don’t miss out the quotation marks.
General: There are some words that are emphasized with dots. You should also emphasize that phrase/word by italicizing it.
Minor: Use PNGOUT for optimization. You can get an even smaller file size.
You may also consider indexing the black and white pages to 17 colors, then optimize it with PNGOUT. The result is an image with nearly no difference at all, but with half the file size.
For example: img442.imageshack.us/img442/8672/74171301.png
That is page 29 of chapter 35, using your scanlation, but optimized using my method. The file size is reduced to 228kb from 469kb, with hardly any noticeable differences. I used GIMP for indexing the colors, dithered by using Floyd–Steinberg 2. Then I change the colors nearest to black and white to #000000 and #FFFFFF. At last I use PNGOUT to optimize it. It will certainly save your bandwidth and many people’s time.
We have various manga that need different settings (most of them need absolutely perceptual for output so we ultimately decided to not use any kind of restrictive PNG-8 version. Which means we decided upon making larger files for every manga, even when not needed. We don’t have problems with bandwidth so – for us – it’s not that much of a problem.
For the rest of the corrections, I shall thank you a lot, and after checking upon them I will apply them.
Thank for the release FoOlz
