There are a lot of scanlation groups you can probably commission to TL it. Other than walking into a public office space to use their scanner for gay monstergirl smut, you'll have to get a scanner.

If you don't want to buy a full scanner/printer thing, you can buy a small portable scanner like this (https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Document-Handheld-Business-Selection/dp/B07W12R334) and scan each page. Unfortunately, this would also likely mean destroying the book so you can get each individual page properly aligned with the scanning device. Otherwise you'll end up with some poor-quality scans. It depends though! If it's thin enough (hehe) then you should be able to lay everything flat and scan each page easily.

No commission necessary, we'll do it for free, but yeah the scanning of physical raws is annoying work.

Thank you for replies! I will try to get a scanner and see if I can do it..

Hi - I wanted to ask if something like this is acceptable quality?
Tried to make it as flat as possible because I don't think I want to take apart the book.. sorry :(

I’d never ask you to take the book apart lol, but those look good to me. I’ll see if someone with better knowledge of physical raws can take a look and give a more nuanced opinion.

Hey, thanks so much for your work on this! I promised I'd help Urbs on the physical end so I'll give a brief reply here.

The flat is great. The size (1926 x 3005) of the image is great too. Couple things that would be really great:

-Is it possible to scan these as grayscale, in .png format or .tiff format?
-If no, is it possible for the .jpeg format to be set at 90-100 quality while scanning?

If no to all of the above, these scans are perfectly usable and we'd do our best to brush them up as much as possible! Thanks so much for your offer and (please(!)) be careful with your book!

Thank you!
Here's the new story:
greyscale: https://imgur.com/a/eVjQ2wN

I'm also really sorry I wasn't able to make those changes aside from scanning it in greyscale..
The scanner I was planning to use wasn't scanning the pages correctly (it looked blurry no matter how many times I tried to adjust/flatten the book..) I ended up using my phone app (test image earlier) which only exports in JPEG with no other setting..
If this looks okay or need any pages redone lmk.. then I can also do the 2 re-edited stories.. otherwise hopefully someone else could provide better scans ;-;

Thank you for your efforts! Including title page in the numbering here. Could you send another try for pages 2, 3, 4, 5, and the final page of the "main" story (right before the guest pages start)? Everything else looks really great, and you're welcome to continue if you'd like to. Thank you! I'll be getting started tomorrow.

Thank you! These are great.

Welp, I wasn't expecting to be full on crying ugly tears in front of my computer today but here I am. I love these two lovebirds so damn much (TT)

I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING!

Honestly, this chapter was nice enough that it could have been the ending. I look forward to seeing what the final chapter brings.

Fuck me I thought this was the final. I'd cry if I wasn't just happy for them. This is all I've wanted, and Neji didn't turn around and make it super sad at the last minute.

There's still a chapter left though, so... hhh....

Wonder if the last chapter will be a time skip of sorts?? Maybe show an older Lily??

Argh, my heart T.T

So they got doubled married

Double rings I'm so happy

DOUBLE RINGS. I FEEL LIKE CRYING AHHH

god yeah the double rings really is just this chapter going "now cry"

I can't wait for the final chapter this is absolutely one of those series that I'll read through again the moment it ends just to get to read all of it in one go

Ahhh they are just made more each other! Love them so much!! I was fighting back tears for most of this chapter!!!

God lifespan differeces suck

Wonder if the last chapter will be a time skip of sorts?? Maybe show an older Lily??

I'm not sure if I'd want to see that. The idea reminds me of Asellus's Half Human ending in Saga Frontier, and that's such a heartbreaking ending. The pain of seeing your beloved growing old while you yourself haven't aged a day. No gusta.
