FIRST VOL.25 RAW SCANS!!
I love my new scanner. ^.^
Okay following Maxim's post, I'll just post the RAWs here as I scan, so you guys can take a look before KazukiPP and Benji finish the scanlation =). Vol.25's my favourite in the entire series so far, and that's saying a lot seeing as I can't understand more than the names and a few odd words in the whole book.

Don't expect me to be this speedy in the future...I was just so enthralled with my new baby that I didn't notice the hours of lifting the lid, squashing the book, and pressing the button just fly by...
Omg I'm so excited. The project is really starting.....!
@benji: Regarding Carr's accent, I have the english versions of 23 and 24 where he first appears. If you need any examples to follow, I don't mind scanning a few pages in to help.
@minakichan: Thanks :) And I'm using 300 dpi...my scanner can apparently go up to 600, but er. I don't want like 5gb pictures xD
@kazukiPP: Here ya go! Lots of stuff to work on =D These turned out surprisingly well, though of course as I got further into the book the gutter lines became more and more obvious...I even had to re-scan 2 pages coz the edges were so blurry. Lemme know if there are other pages which are that bad and can't be edited out. Btw in the future, do you want me to use the 'colour' setting or the 'black and white' setting to scan? Black and white gives a much sharper and brighter image, but colour retains more 'natural' shading.
@Maxim: I did say I would put up vol.26 raws, just most likely not 27, so it was just a question of whether people would be willing to start an arc and not be able to finish it (presuming no one else scanned in 27+). Here are the raws anyway--though they were intended for kazukiPP's work, not for sharing out. If you wish to do so, by all means, go ahead-- I just don't want to be in charge of re-uploading stuff, fixing broken links etcetc. =)
Realistically I should have a few more chapters up within a fortnight. Though probably not nearly as many as today in one go, haha.
