I'm back from the dead! These volumes were ripped a while ago for my Licensed English Manga Library and I'm sharing them here for the sake of long-term preservation.
I re-ripped Volume 1 because Emaqi now offers less-compressed images and I wanted to uniformly apply post-processing across all volumes. Where applicable I have denoised, leveled blacks, optimized PNGs, and joined spreads.
See you next week for another release!

#### **Emaqi Disclaimer (tl;dr: Emaqi uses AI):**
Orange Inc's Studio Mikan uses their proprietary MTPE AI tool Factory to perform the initial translation pass along with the typesetting. Then, a JLPT N2 human editor at the studio polishes the volume before they release it on the Emaqi app.
The rapid turnaround time and significantly-lower cost of this new AI-driven localization process enables timely releases with good enough translations, and allows for more obscure manga to get localized that would otherwise get ignored. But as a consequence, there are typically random QC issues throughout Emaqi-published volumes.
Page resolutions for Emaqi exclusives depend on the equivalent Japanese tankobans. They are identical to the lower-quality retail epubs, just with English text instead of Japanese.
