If your grayscale PNG images are larger than GIFs, it's because you've created 32-bit grayscale images... which does squat on computer monitors where the RGB channels are limited to 8 bits, and therefore can't show more than 256 shades of gray.
what the others have said. PNG's should be smaller than jpgs for b&w pages. a 30pg chap, 1200px height, should be <10MB, probably ~5-8 depending on the art
as far as # of colors, i've only seen maybe half a dozen b&w pages in ~400 chapters that i've had to use more than 20 colors
OMG Who is this mystery guy?!? Seems like there's going to be an epic battle between kouta and him.
Also, I think the author has sunk to a new low with nicchi-senpai, the whole butt-bicycle thing was too much for me. What happened to all the sweets man?!
Great work as always, This volume is going to be epic!!
Dude, that guy knows Kouta's name and he didn't mention (since kanau call him father). Probably he suspects that the guy is the husband or something o Nozomi (kanau's mon don';t know if the names are ok). He might be thinking about kanau's leaving and all. I hope it develops better since the 6 months kanau's mother gave her might be a way to finish the manga (i hope it does not happen). By all means, great chap, great scans, and cant wait to see next.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! you guys are the best :D
ReplyDeleteaaaaaahhhhhhhh waiting suckssss.
ReplyDeleteProactive thank you btw. You guys do good work.
Thank you guys for all the hard work on this great manga :D! Now, off to my OnM fix!
ReplyDeleteyou do know you can customize png...
ReplyDeletepng-8
adaptive
no dither
no matte
websnap 0%
no transparency
colors: 18-32 (depending on greys)
that should help cut down on filesize and keep the quality.
forgot one thing... no interlace
ReplyDeleteKouta is in for some sad times ahead. Damn this manga is f-ed up.

ReplyDeleteugh now i'm gonna be desperate to find out that secret.
ReplyDeletehate these cliff hangers
can anyone care to explain the suit and glasses reference for me?
ReplyDeleteor is that something we learn later on.
Are there any mirrors planned? I get like 0.5 kB/s from mangahelpers -_-
