Hi, I know you’re all patiently waiting, but unfortunately, nobody has uploaded actual scans yet. (I did go ahead and buy the Japanese eBook for my Android Kindle, however.) Thanks for your patience. In the meantime, I know it’s not much, but here’s a preview of the Table of Contents page (screenshot, edited), to let you know what’s on the horizon!

Description from the Haruhi Wiki (I put it there myself. Hope it’s right?):

Via confession, Kyon and Nagato are officially dating. In order to make lunch boxes for him, she takes lessons from Asakura, all while fretting over her first Valentine's Day as a couple with Kyon. The Vanishing Nagato romantic comedy, limit up*!?

*It literally says “limit up” like in economics (ストップ高). Whatever the analogy is, it’s lost on me. Maybe I’ll think about it more later and it will make sense.

Hello, everyone.

I developed a GIMP script that I used extensively throughout this project during the cleaning phase, and I thought I’d share it here in case anybody else wanted to use it or adapt it (currently, it’s Linux command-line only). It applies the levels across all the image files in a directory. (Levels is commonly used by manga cleaners to adjust light-grays into white and dark-grays into black for a cleaner, better looking picture.) I made it because I didn’t want to waste time opening up each image in the GUI and applying the same thing with the same settings to every picture. It can also flatten XCFs into JPGs. With over 150 images per volume, that adds up to quite a lot, especially considering I always make XCFs for typesetting and cleaning before converting them to JPGs.

Ok. I’ve decided to finish this series off. I hate to not finish something. Should actually be pretty easy now that I look at it. It’ll be kind of a rush-job, so I may not do as good of a job, though. Why? It’s simply not as good of a series. Or rather, I don’t like it very much. I don’t think the stories were all that funny compared to Haruhi-chan actual. So that said, I’m going to typeset all of these and release them all in one bundle. Should only take a couple hours.
