    Oh dang! It even has an English version! Makes uploading the Pixiv version kinda awkward in hindsight...But it's still pretty cool nevertheless!

    I mean, yeah, an English version by yours truly.

    I wasn't 100% sure whether you were uploading it a.) because you didn't know, b.) out of some sorta completionism just to have it on the booru, c.) to promote it, or d.) some other reason. But in any of those cases, not like it's really a problem, and if it gets any more people aware of the SCoOW manga, even better.

    There's nothing wrong with archiving the original version, we don't upload things here just to get them translated (though that is always nice when it happens). While I can't say how likely it would be for Danbooru to be the only version of it left if the pixiv version was ever lost for any reason, there are people who would want access to the original Japanese version if that were to ever happen regardless of whether or not it has a translation available.

    The answer to that question is I literally had no idea until you told me. Not that it's a bad thing (as blindVigil pointed out in greater detail), but I probably wouldn't have uploaded it had I known. Hence me finding the realization kinda awkward.

    Ah well. The way I'll look at it is that having Chapter 1 at least (as this chapter seems to be the only one republished on Pixiv so far) up might get people interested in the full comic, which is always a good thing. (And thanks for translating the full version!)
