Light D Lamperouge

:noo:



I read the manga. The art is subpar, the characterization isn't as interwoven as people claim it to be, the strategies are overwanked because most readers are accustomed to wars in which superduper powers win, the dialogue is subpar. Honestly, it's overrated. :kayneshrug:
 
Arabs usually export pages in 1600x2300px which is upscaling them
We export in 900x1300 which is the more natural size for paper scans.

(As an example, Viz sizing is 960x1400, and Volume HQ are usually around 1080x1600)

It's similar to people claiming Anime in 60FPS looks so much better when in reality it isn't and it throws the timing off and interlaces cuts.
The same holds true for upscaling as it extends and expands patterns and details that weren't meant to be.

One more thing is how the page looks on the website. If the pages have a big size they will cover up the entire screen and you'll only be able to see & read like 1/3rd of a page at once. On our site you'll see half the page (smaller size, easier to read on desktop screen)

Now, the thing we definetly commend arabs on is them having half an army of Highly efficient redrawers that manually redraw lost details. Most of the times with great success. They are restoring details that got lost in the cleaning process and redrawing them in photoshop. Occasionally it's a bit off from the original drawing which you can see after the official release is out, but most of the times its authentic and looks good.

It should be mentioned that we work on 3 other series parallel-y (JJK, BC, MHA) most of the times and have not the time to give one series 5-10 hours of our time to manually redraw tiny details tht got lost when running filters. I personally give OP a more preferential treatment over others and invest more time into cleaning it weekly and restoring details since I care for it more (while knowing people shit on our quality compared to the arab release) and I'm usually quite happy with the end result given our circumstances.

hope that makes it a bit clearer
Always wondered, do you guys get paid well for this?
Or do it out of kindness + some donations

Wow, thank you for your thorough response!

Another question, how do you apply filters? Don't you manually remove the text?
 
Chapter 1035 leak
Chapter tile: King vs King

Chapter starts with Osome and Chuji looking terrified at someone.
Cut to Zoro vs King.
Zoro starts to realize he's using Conquerors Haki.
He attacks King with a flying slash, and the slash is much stronger than before. King tries to defend from it but it's cut and actually bleeds.
King says that only Adv CoC can truly hurt his kind.
Next time Zoro tries to attack King, King uses Tempura Udon again, clashing with Zoro's swords.
King's beak and Zoro's swords don't touch.
During their fight, Zoro starts feeling pain. The medicine effect is ending.
Zoro decides to use Ashura with his new adv. CoC and attacks King. (lot of black lightning effects)
King takes the hit.
Cut to Luffy vs Kaido.
Kaido was weakened by all the fights he had. Luffy gets the upper hand.
Kaido begins to smile saying that Luffy finally brought him and his Calamities, a worthy challenge.
In an amazing sequence of double spreads, we see Kaido, King and Queen changing forms. They use Awakening.
Chapter ends with Jack still down because the mammoth lives only to suffer.
Wow conquerors specifically wiped out kings race because they could. They are the chosen ones. How likely is this?

We get paid through ads since we have to pay for the scans.
When we started out we had to pay for scans & for website and had no source of income (since ad networks require you to have an audience before they approve you).

But I was willing to take the gamble. After about 9 months we were finally able to break-even. Before that i was in debt for that lol.

Definetly out of passion and the need to not have to read speedscans that were all over the place after MS/JB stopped. the objective was mainly to create solid Translations that were not crosstranslated from French/Korean as was the case in mid 2020s where the landscape of scans was horrible. Yet, people still read them, a few hundred thousands each week and YTers reacting to it. Those were spreading mistranslations etc. and it wasn't fun to read em

the patreon support is greatly appreciated, however its only able to pay for about 1 Chapter of 1 series per month, while we have 4 series with 3-4 chapters each, each month + website costs

I read the manga. The art is subpar, the characterization isn't as interwoven as people claim it to be, the strategies are overwanked because most readers are accustomed to wars in which superduper powers win, the dialogue is subpar. Honestly, it's overrated. :kayneshrug:
Can you read Gosu Manhwa if you haven't? Some martial arts with lore, imo even if its not strategy-heavy, but its a real good treat with its storytelling.

If you want to get a good look at how it works, i recommend this video

it was done by Prosto, a former MS cleaner and one of the best.
We use a different method than him and have automated some of the cleaning by now via action scripts that we run, but the end result remains the same.

"Removing text" is just using a white brush so thats not magic.
When we talk about "Cleaning" we speak of transforming the scanned page (as you can see in the beginning of the video) into the end result that you see when you read it
