This gallery is just a quick simple edit of the raw to remove the huge margins. There is no resizing of the images themselves, I simply removed the empty white space down to the last pixel and left the actual content of each page intact. Every image ended up the same height of 2670 pixels with the margins removed, but some ended up 1893 pixels wide while others wound up 1725 pixels wide. I know artists leave empty space to accommodate the binding of a book, so for the images that were 1725 pixels I logically left enough white space on the side with the thicker black borders around panels to match the dimensions of the images that were 1893 wide.

PS. The repeat cover image looks squished because it is, that's how it was in the raw before I removed the margins. It's also possible the first image (which I didn't alter) is stretched. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Raw: /g/3064950/4f43234757/

Thanks. Looks better now. I appreciate this.

I found that the raw used here was much lower quality compared to the pixiv of MGS comics, which has some pages for preview.
Maybe not every site has the real raws, for example dlsite has total file size of only 21mb
I guess the MGS store should have better raws, here ----> https://books.mgstage.com/detail/denc-530/
altough its a guess and maybe this work will see more versions with different censoring (less destructive at least)
I uploaded a screen just to show this version quality ( notice wrecked edges caused by bad scaling and the blocking ) and on the left the one from pixiv.
