Gotta love a naughty neighbor MILF! This is the first chapter of a collection but the story seems to be stand alone (hard to say without translating the whole thing, but I didn't see anything that looked like a continuation). Dunno whether I'll do the whole collection, but I definitely want to do more chapters.

A note on color. You can't please everyone. There are certainly some who don't like warm, vibrant colors (preferring washed out and lifeless pallets). But there are also those who enjoy a bit of color and prefer a blue sky to a grey. With that said, there seem to be many more who don't care one way or the other. At the end of the day I like working with saturated colors, so that's what I do.

YOUR COLORS OFTEN ARE NOT SATURATED. THEY ARE OVERSTURED LIKE HELL. YOUR SCREEN IS TERRIBLY ADJUSTED. SO THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN TELL WHAT VIBRANT COLORS ARE AND WHAT NOT.
The guy from the last of your completely oversaturted TLs that I re-edited (see credit page I made /s/c001f4a225/1793902-55 ) turned from a tanned guy into a human carrot. The skintone changed from brown to orange.
You always change browns to orange. Reds and slight violet colors turn into into screaming pinks. Green becomes highlighter neon green. Normal skintones change to Donald Trump goldfish tan.
That's not what I call vibrant colors.

I know from my own experience that screens can display colors very differently. A few months ago I bought a shiny new monitor with an IPS display to replace my old LCD display, that I bought not too long after LCD Screens were becoming a thing, with one with a bigger screen. Well, I'm still using the old one. While using them side beside the images on both were like day and night. Strong vibrant colors on my old screen turned into light pastel colors on the new screen.
You probably have a similar problem without knowing it. (Well, actually you do know, but you decided to ignore it.) Adjust your screen you can find tutorials on youtube. That's less work than constantly adjusting images.

I really wish you could see your "vibrant" colors on my old trusted screen or one that is adjusted correctly. Then you wouldn't be talking of warm, vibrant colors.
Did you never asked yourself why all the colors in the digital works don't look "colorful" on your screen?

Sorry dude, this is not "vibrant", this is youtuber clickbait thumbnail level with saturation to 255.

Been a while since I've seen Itoh Ei content.

Even in a Dreamlike situation, you are still getting berated for being a quickshot.

To expand upon @Ancient-Alien's point:

I used to have "Low blue" turned on on my screens,
but I had it turned off, because I used to make porn & when I was color-grading it, it would always look like sh*t on any devices that werent my screen.

Was like "wtf" for a long time- My grades would (appear to) take a scene from "dull" to "oh that's nice" (on my monitors, all same model with same settings).
Then I'd send it to my partner to review the edit before we published, and she'd be like "Uh, I think there's something wrong with the colors - Why am I orange?"

I'd look at it, then look at the grade on my screen, and it made no sense.
Eventually, I realized the extent of fuckery the "low blue" setting on my screen was enacting, and everything changed immediately.

To give it to you straight - When I look at your recolors - They remind me exactly of my own colorgrade fuckery under "low blue".

In fact - the one thing that fixes your recolors for me, is re-enabling "low blue" on my screen.

Seriously try calibrating your screen, or get some sort of post-processing filter that amps the saturation on your screen for you - Your graphics card settings will likely give you this option - Most intel integrated APUs have this, and Nvidia & AMD will CERTAINLY have this.

Artists & colorists are NOT incompetent (Or rather, if their work doesn't look immediately bad, they likely know what they're doing) - Unless they're trying to affect a specific stylistic choice, if they want to depict a blue sky, they make it vibrant blue.

If they want a realistic skin tone, they make a realistic skin tone.

Moreover - The saturation of human skin pigment does NOT show significant change across races and ethnicity. The "red"ness in particular, does not really move.
Anyone experienced with use of a colorgrading vectorscope, or colorgrading programs such as Da Vinci Resolve can verify this - No matter the ethnicity of the subject, whether they're Sudanese or Irish, their skin-tone should sit at roughly the same point on a vectorscope (with the notable exception of rare species such as Donald Trump).

The aesthetic differences are not a "can't please everyone" thing- I don't think I've seen a single person claim to be happy that you've recoloured a work in your translations.
I have, however seen complaints about your oversaturated colorgrades on almost every recolor you've posted.

Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart- I thank you for your exceptional work in translating so many works. You appear to be a skilled translator with good taste in work.

That being said - When the overwhelming majority is requesting you preserve the original colouring in your translations - You have to wonder who you're uploading this for - Are you going through the effort of translation, typesetting, and recolouring as a service to the community, or is it purely for yourself?

If it's for the community, consider that the community wants to see work translated faithfully, with its art unaltered.

You always have the option of uploading the original, and then posting another gallery with your recolour.
