@CSmith327 Sorry to hear about your job situation. I stopped working on this project immediately after the pandemic hit because I'm a nursing major and I had to sit and think life through about a few things. My brother was at the front lines in NYC when things were getting bad, and my...

@permisan I should have also said I meant that as of now, the ways you could "officially" read it involves reading outdated scan quality/bad localization which I personally think is a subpar experience overall. Especially if you're a newcomer. I do prefer the anime as a whole just because of...

@CSmith327 I already told you bud. I like Initial D. That's enough of a reason for me to do it.

@CSmith327 The people who scanned this years ago produced the best results within their capabilities, but let's face it, the typesetting and scans are really subpar. Comixology & Kodansha are also completely inept at producing a faithful translation/localization. I like Initial D, and even if I...

Kept you waiting, huh? Yes, I know it took me a year to get back on this. Long story short, life got in the way with the pandemic and all that. Sorry about that, enjoy the chapter. I have some extra help now, so things should be a bit more consistent now.

@QSS Thank you for that write-up, that's extremely useful. The odd cropping is due to trying to crop the page itself as I was worried with chapter 1 I was cutting slightly into the art that borders the page. That's why it's slightly inconsistent in size. I would attribute the paper texture to...

@Kitair You're welcome! I'm glad you like it!

@QSS Sure will. Once again, thanks for the guides. Right now, I'm solely focused on practicing and refining my techniques until I fine tune the process as I go on. Of course, later on I'll go through my past work and update that as well. If you have any other general advice or recommendations...

@ghostkun "Man, is he planning to fly with this?" - Takumi Fujiwara 199X. 1st half of Project D's FD was pretty good imo, personally.

@VINT64 That's what makes this series good.

@QSS Of course I don't. I'm not pretending to be a photoshop savant. It's a learning experience. While I do thank you for releasing the guides that helped make this possible, I'm gonna have to quote you: A good cleaner is one that knows what kind of tool is appropriate to use in what situation...

@bob3002 Yeah, not the best part. It's one of those things that you either love or hate imo. The art quality for the people kinda diminishes or takes a more grittier style later down the line and not everyone loves it either. Cars stay mostly the same however.

User ID: 378296 Group: 11054 Don't have a website right now, discord is a WIP. Thanks in advance.

@leosmileyface The plan (currently, subject to change) is at least one chapter a week minimum. I want to be able to do 2-3 a week, ideally. I'm going to release chapter 2 and 3 simultaneously once they're complete, hopefully sometime this weekend/early next week.

For everyone else, as Hornet said, we do plan on redoing the entire manga. I came with a mission to release the "definitive" Initial D scan, and I wouldn't use the Project. D namesake if I were going to half-ass something like this. It does warm my heart that a lot of people appreciate this...
