Yuma and Hotaru have been best friends since childhood. Yuma would protect Hotaru from things such as bullies, and made it her job to look after her. Now, the two are second-year high school students, but Hotaru is anything but innocent. Yuma gets her first boyfriend and is nervous about it, so a more experienced Hotaru suggests a "dress rehearsal" to help her out. The helping out later on leads to a deep kiss with Hotaru, who says that Yuma now knows how to kiss a guy. This leaves her thinking about how much better this kiss was than the one she had shared with her boyfriend. As time goes on, Yuma worries that her boyfriend will find out what is going on between her and Hotaru. She also cannot explain these "strange" feelings she has when she is with her.
No difference. I just look for interesting manga that I like to read myself, sometimes manga I'd like to share here but always manga with high quality, high resolution images.
I wasn't critizising you for sharing these releases here. Instead, I wanted to know if Shadowcat's release of this series is superior to danke's due to the higher file sizes to avoid having to download and compare them myself.
Well, I can tell you that the Shadowcat release group's digital releases are typically around 1,988 x 3,056. Extremely high quality. This ensures perfect HD quality for tablets as large as 10" or more. Digital comics or manga that has that kind of quality are designed to be displayed on the largest possible tablet screens. The highest the resolution, the better the image clarity. Think of that resolution as HD quality. I've downloaded a lot of Shadowcat's releases. Shadowcat, Empire, MInutemen ... they are the most well known high quality release groups. The other groups I listed also post high quality scans around the same resolution size. Danke-Empire does a lot of high quality digital releases as well but sometimes they do post releases around 999 x ???? and sometimes lower. Sometimes, I'll check the resolution size by importing an image out of the cbz into Photoshop.
After taking a quick look at both danke's and Shadowcat's releases, this is what I noticed:
Shadowcat's releases..
- have an identical image resolution (2145x3056)
- are slightly bigger without a noticable increase in quality (~2.11GiB vs. ~2.36GiB for all six volumes)
- include a file called "ComicInfo.xml", that holds some metadata ([example](https://pastebin.com/raw/F32svqGz))
- have split pages
- include useless extra pages ([example](https://i.imgur.com/wwOgTXl.jpg))
I will keep danke's releases.
No biggie. I'm big on downloading digital comics for my Amazon Fire so I'm familiar with some of the more popular release groups. But, it's also entirely possible that some of these groups like Shadowcat may use uploads from other groups and place their own release/branding to the releases. The thing with the file sizes being the same is starting to look that way. For me, I don't place my own branding on something I download. My thing is to leave the filenames exactly as they are when I downloaded them in the first place. Not my place to take credit for something someone else provided.
