Ya really could've done these better. Of all existing fonts, Comic Sans MS is considered to be the worst of all scanlating fonts. Wingdings and Wide Latin are considered better, that's how crappy it makes scanlations look.
Also you never erase parts of the picture, if there are words in the page you need to either just erase the words and clone the missing parts, or redraw what was behind them.
Also why the hell are the words aligned to the left... It's supposed to be centered. And ya know, not have capitalization or punctuation...
Yes, do all those things and you'd be not terrible. Thanks for trying, though.
Oh sorry, I missed a couple things. Also your cleaning isn;t that good because you can still see the grain of the page. You erased part of the boxes when you erased words, you didn't put the words in a centered part of the bubble a lot of times, and you can see the white where you erased the Japanese because it was still light gray when you erased it. So you'd need to fix those things too, and you'd be not terrible. Probably at least average.
Oh, also you wrote the page numbers wrong. You need to annex zeroes on the left of the page numbers depending on the total # of pages. So for individual chapters it would be one, you should start 01, 02, etc. Most manga reader programs will see the ones digit as the most prominent one. So otherwise it would go 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and end there. Also you should write your group name on the folder in brackets or something. Also you labled some pages wrong, page 5 in chapter 51 says "boboo" and page 6 has "JPG" written out in it. Don't worry... you I think did something right... No actually I think you made every possible mistake a scanlator can make.
Oh, I think you didn't miss any bubbles. So that was pretty good. And you did find a means of distributing it, that was good too. Ganbatte.
Yeah, any bittorrent tracker or P2P program... Or you could buy it from a store or get it from someone you know, I did that originally. Though it costs a lot like $600.

Oh, that sounds pretty bad, but... kewl 0210, how did you download it? Both links are broken for me...
Copy and paste the links into your browser. I guess something with how blogger is setup makes it not work normally.
Thanks for those tips, I honestly can't figure out how to whiten the pages. I don't have photoshop what I use is called: Open Canvas
Yeah, therein lies the problem... you should just get a bootleg of Photoshop otherwise.
Do you know of a place where I can DL a bootleg of photoshop?
Yeah, any bittorrent tracker or P2P program...
