Though choppy cutting is jarring, I'm not a big fan of these long, long images either. It's nice, but I chronically just have the need to press the right arrow key to go to the next page despite not having finished the chapter yet.
Anyhow, not on the topic of formatting, so we're going into the side characters, huh? Seems interesting. Personally, I'd like to see the main characters being gay more since there's all this stuff set up for them.
