Houkago Initiation [English, the complete grayscale tank version, 208 pictures], by Arai Kei

When I shared the full-colour version of Houkago Initiation, a few days ago, I knew not everybody was OK with full-colour art (there’s no avoiding the loss of fine details and the impression volumes were flattened, isn’t there?), and I grieved the absolutely horrible censorship destroyed everything.

Well, no more! Here is, my dear filthy pervs, the grayscale, tank version of the same manga ^_^

– Grayscale, as in: erm, well, the usual, right. Especially with a mangaka like Arai Kei who throws in the extra effort, the body volumes, the screentones, the fine visage details, that’s a lot more for the eye to enjoy than with coloured images.
– Tank version: the various chapters the volume is made of were originally published in magazines, and it’s those magazine versions that were scanlated from Japanese to English, which implies lesser image quality, smaller image resolution, and usually more censorship. Fortunately, a kind soul, an ehentaier called Throwaway1245725, ported the scanlations onto the official tank scans. TL;DR: you’ll have the best possible image quality, and less censorship! \o/

There’s still plenty of censorship, but, hey, it was worse before
Thanks a lot to Throwaway1245725 for the effort, to the scanlators, Noraneko, SNP, Hot Cocoa, Flammz, Desudesu, and StatisticallyNP, and whoever else was involved!

I realize I forgot to describe the manga, didn’t I? Just check the description I wrote for the full-colour version ^^

By the same artist, known as Arai Kei and as Kansai Orange, to this day, I also share Gunjo Gunzo (245 pictures), Houkago Initiation (206 pictures, the full colour version), Clover 1-4, HaPPY LIfe, and a MASSIVE pack with ALL my other English-translated works by Kansai Orange (20 volumes, no less, and I retouched/improved them whenever I could!)

Hentai collectors, maybe you’ll want to hear some of this tank’s chapters were already shared on Hentairules in their former versions, that are now obsolete. You may safely remove them from your disk if you had downloaded them.
Those old shares are:
– Yugame (distorted love)
– The preying Mantis’ Nest
– Natsu No Hate
– Doutei Otoko To Toramimi Onna

And now, the download & gallery links

I allowed myself to very slightly recompress the images before sharing. You won’t notice any difference with the naked eye, but now it’s only 323 MB instead of 692 MB =)

Smaller version incoming!
As of usual when ☑ the images are in high enough resolution and ☑ the archive is quite big for its number of pictures, and ☑ it offers a significant gain, and ☑ I have enough time to do it, if it may help, I’m offering you a smaller version, in which I resized the images, here from 3000 px high, to lower-standard 1600 px resolution.
The zip shrank from 323 MB to 88 MB.
Personally, I prefer it for reading, and it takes less disk space.
