Who's there...?

Hello, J.B.Random speaking and here I present to you first 2 out of 9 decensored chapters from Momoiro Daydream book by Dr.P. This decensoring project was only made possible thanks to my wonderful sponsors (MHM, Zonder B, Zathael, Fake Brit & six more kind people who decided to stay anonymous) and of cause thanks to Oliver who allowed me to run a small crowdfunding campaign here on Hentairules.

This time I have quite a lot of additional information to share.

An important note to make is that since I’ve released the first chapter two weeks ago a major decidion has been made on my part to drop tankoubon scans of the manga in favour of better quality digital download magazine scans of the chapters. You can check up this comparison sheet to see why. Basically by default I thought tankoubon scans should logically be the best thing, yet as you can see on the Tank Censored sample those had vertical white lines going through images, also you can see I’ve fixed those lines on the Tank Decensored sample, basically I’ve fixed those on every page of chapter one that had censorship on them, which took almost as much time as the decensoring itself, only that decensoring is actually somewhat fun while fixing white lines is just boring and tedious busy work. Not to mention that pages with no censorship were left as they were. By the time I was finished with chapter one this situation became a real bother to me, so I went to the Internet to check up if a reasonable solution was possible.

And actually there was a solution: apparently digital download versions of Momoiro Daydream were available both as full tankoubon and chapter by chapter non-tankoubon magazine versions. Funny thing is that based on the previews tankoubon digital download image quality was not much better from the quality of the scans I already had on my hands, while digital download magazine versions looked a hundred times better. So it really was an easy decision to make, though one of big downsides was that I had to redo the first chapter for the second time, which as you can see I did. Also I’ve used this sudden opportunity to improve the decensoring quality even further.

Considering censorship, in general Momoiro Daydream magazine scans have around 10% less of it which means it is still awful, but at this rate any improvement is welcomed. Also 4 pages that are censored in the tankoubon version are fully uncensored in magazine chapters, which means my crowdfunding project goal could have been $10 smaller, yet considering how magazine versions of the chapters were only available in Japanese and how accordingly the amount of pages I had to edit with text spiked from zero to 191, I think things evened each other out =). Also only 5 out of 9 chapters were initially available in their digital magazine form, so I had to pay to get the rest. Basically those dollars I’ve got atop of the initial goal went for a good cause.

–Update: this post is now obsolete. The final version is HERE :)

So you got a bad raw tankoubon print out, or bad digitalized(scanned) print out. That is a bad omen..
