  1. I could do editing for double-page scans (assuming they're all roughly the same size). I have a nice and tidy script for splitting them into individual pages. I decided to make it after not wanting to read Cyborg 009's 2-page spread scans. Do you want me to send you anything I process? If you have other volumes that could use editing, feel free to list them.

    1. Sounds cool! I don't have any editing wishes myself.
      But there's certainly people interested to see your edited versions of the books.
      So a script? What program you using?

      Delete
    2. Photoshop. I typed up the directions that I followed to make the actions.

      http://pastebin.com/Acdhm4eK

      However, it opens all of the images at once before processing, so it might put a heavy strain on slower computers.

      Delete
    3. And if anyone else wants something split, I can run it through.

      Delete
    4. Photoshop should allow saving Actions as .ATN files.
      (in Actions window, right side dropdown menu > Save Actions)
      Could you upload .ATN file instead text as I'm quite rusty with photoshop. :(

      Delete
    5. Ah, forgot about that.

      https://www.mediafire.com/?4awm1wqwvmz8bib

      Be sure to look over the steps, you might need to change some stuff. It works by having two folders on your desktop, "originals" and "cropped". The spreads go into "originals."

      If you can modify it so that it only processes one page at a time (so Photoshop doesn't crash), that'd be useful. I think you can do that by moving the last batch command to somewhere near the end of "view".

      Delete
    6. I think the pages that come out will be read as backwards (2, then 1) because of Windows naming scheme, so either modify it or get something like Bulk Rename Here.

      Also, whenever I run it on my version of PS, it tries to run the other default scripts at the very end, so I'm not sure how to stop that. It's not as tidy as I would like it.

      Delete
    7. Have you tried out running "Crop and Straighten Photos" function before splitting?
      (File>Automate>Crop and Straighten Photos)

      Delete
    8. Crop and Straighten works for the most part, but I often find myself having to go in and correct it anyway. It's easier to just use the ruler to draw a line and hotkey straighten, and manually crop anything that got overcropped.

  2. Thank you very much! Do you have any plans to continue scanning the newer books of this series? Like later Circus and Liar's Game and Mad Hatter's Late Night Tea Party?

    ReplyDelete
  3. The Cheshire cat vol 6 isn't working (that was the only one I checked) is there any way this can be fixed?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Whoops! Sorry I clicked the wrong thing.

    ^ Gekiga Hyouryuu edited version. I generally tend to also mirror it on Mega and give the download link here, but since I kept the edited scans at 400 DPi, the size (640~MB) is a bit too big for me to upload uninterruptedly, hence I've passed on the torrent link;;

    ReplyDelete
  6. I. Just. LOVE YOU *O*!!!!! Thank uuuuuuu °(>w<)°!!!!! I really really wanted to read so many of this manga x3!

    I have a doubt, there is any official manga of Peter?? No matter how much I search, I find nothing xP...

    ...

    LOVE U AGAIN x3333!!!!

  7. Thank you very much for sharing! I can't buy manga so I was very glad to fing your scanlations. ^_^
    Say, will you continue scanlating the Circus and Liar's Game? I really wish i could read Blood & Alice story till the end. he is my favorite character after Boris. ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  8. Thanks so much for adding the new Circus and Liar's Game volumes! You guys are the best! ^^

    ReplyDelete
  9. Thanks for the missing volumes of Alice in the Country of Joker! Now only the last 2 volumes left! Volume 6 only came out and 7 isn't even out yet, so I'll be patient and keep cheering for you guys ^^

    ReplyDelete
  10. Hi! I just found this page and was wondering if you guys will be having Alice in the Country of Hearts: The Clockworkers story?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Thank you so much!!! Living in Latin America it is difficult to find these and being able to read them is amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  12. thank you so so much! I'm planning to purchase Clover no Kuni no Alice - Cheshire Neko to Waltz manga but so far I need to get more money to get it and I couldn't wait to read it!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Thank you so much for sharing but when I try to use the Mega link, it shows up as failed-no file can you share using 4shared or other file host sites?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I meant Cheshire Cat, Bloody Twins, and Love Labyrinth of Thorns. But thank you so much for other scans!

      Delete
    2. Yet I have no problems myself... Have you tried downloading with Firefox with Mega plug-in?

      Delete
  14. Hey thank you for the wonderful scans but circus and liar's game vol 4 deposit file is removed?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It works now! Thanks!

      Delete
    2. Nevermind it says "This file does not exist, the access to the following file is limited or it has been removed due to infringement of copyright. "

      Delete
    3. All DF links die naturally in about 3 months from upload so it's more surprising if any of them is still working. All files should still be available in Mega folder for A.

  15. Thanks for the new novel.
    Here's two that it looks like you're missing:
    Heart no Kuni no Alice - The Clockmaker's Story

    https://mega.co.nz/#!WVsBjA6Z!UtVtSdCNTmDahXCa9Widp6TUlwx4YWj9oSoM0kVruE8

    Go ahead and re-upload it to yours so I can delete the links.

    1. Cool. Mirrored. I will add these to the post as well as to "scan-releases-by-other-groups" page.
      But to who should I credit these? To anonymous? Were you the scanner?

      Delete
    2. Nope, found it on IRC!

      Delete
    3. Hmm. I am slightly troubled about hosting scans without crediting the scanner.
      I will think this a bit. Or perhaps I will make new category for such scans. I will add these to the post once I have figured it out.

  16. the link for toymaker and toybox story are not working :( can you please re upload the links :)

    1. Links are reuploaded.
      (But why an earth did they die in the first place?)

    2. Sometimes they die because someone clicks the report button. :/

  17. Thanks for the novel! I've just edited the novel, because I was bored, and wanted it to look nicer. So viola.
    P.S. Sorry for the large file size...

    1. Do you know how to lower the file size, but maintaining the quality?

      Delete
    2. I gave this a lot of thought. Tested png and gif. And then said hell with it and resaved whole thing with ProJPEG. (settings 70 10)
      https://mega.co.nz/#!CB1XRZZA!q5UN373kjB-d23sqE2LnN94IEh4ztodrWCZIJSZgEQI
      More seriously that seems to result into best size/quality ratio.

      Delete
    3. Awesome! Uh, but I don't have ProJPEG, would it be possible to send you the files and have you resize them? I have a bunch, that I've edited, but can't re-size properly. Haha. If not that's fine too!
      Thanks a bunch! :)

      Delete
    4. looks like I forgot to update release link to ProJPEG version.

      https://mega.co.nz/#!VoNyXZIA!fC9JaGnFjhQ2D4kn2EopXkDu-uYrL_RQZZndqzcsw8c

      Is there need to go under 150MB?

      Delete
    5. I don't need it to be under 150MB, but it's preferred since I don't have a lot of space on my PC's hard drive. Hahaha. I need to get an external hard drive sometime. :/

      And as always, thanks for the release!! :D

  19. Use Light Image Resizer 4. It seems to work pretty well and it keeps the ratio if you set it to.
