Why releases are so slow - it's not a staff shortage

Readers,

 

I am sure that everyone dislikes the agonizingly slow release schedule for Black Dog.  I certainly do.  However, I will not beg for you to join Forgotten Scans.  Rather, I would like to show you this image:

Every page of Black Dog has watermarks, that picture above is a random screen capture from the bottom part of a Black Dog scanned file.  Every page must be redrawn to remove these watermarks.  Most cleaners and redrawers lose interest after working on a chapter or two of this manga because of all of the work involved.  This project is one of  the first to suffer whenever staff aren't available and it is always the last to recover once staff are able to get back to work.  Some in the group might even go so far as to call it 'cursed' because of how many people avoid working on it.  In any case, I thought I owed the community an explanation of what is going on.

 

Thankfully, however, things will (probably) improve.  I have purchased all 13 volumes of Black Dog - they will be shipped soon.  Once they are delivered we will have scans to work on that are actually decent.

 

 

Best regards,

Radioactivekitty

Just an update - a while back I got the books in, and they are all being scanned!  

 

As you can see, releases are faster and the staff are quite happy.  And, starting with chapter 12, the files are 1600 pixels in height!  *__*
