Aaaah, I’m torn. I should be incredibly happy to share with you guys a complete 180 pages long uncensored tankoubon: Mediator Witch Angelika, by Chiba toshirou. It was released a bit more than a year after the still censored version, that I shared back in March 2022.
By every possible means, it’s an awesome manga: it’s drawn by a skilled artist, it’s featuring shockingly good art and it’s got a decent scenario all things considered, with a full-volume storyline. Hats off.

I wrote a longer manga description for the still censored version

But… there’s just one gripe… The still censored version was in high res 3000 px high images, while this new decensored version is only 1500 px.

And it’s a massive loss. Normally I consider 1600 px the bare minimum, it’s acceptable in most cases. But here it’s not working, Chiba Toshirou made tremendous efforts on the outfits of every character, there are tons of rich backgrounds, even the naked bodies reveal splendid effort poured in countless details, be it the eyes, of the shapely details of breasts…
It’s one of those cases where a high enough resolution (like, IDK, 1800px?) is rightfully justified in my eyes, otherwise you’ll find yourselves missing on plenty of juicy bits, which would be a waste.

In the end, I say, that’s your call, anyway. Would you prefer to keep the high res censored version, or go for the low res uncensored version, I’m keeping the censored version online instead of replacing it as usual, so, do as you wish! ^_^

Oh – and of course, credits for this new version go to G-Birkin (Klub Kemoner), thank you!
