Thank You for this! Though why does MAL list ending as 111 and here only has 106? It does have 17 Volumes though

MAL says only "Chapters: 111" and not "ending at chapter 111". And there is the big question: Are the chapters with numbers "33.5, 75.1, 75.2, 84.1, and 99.1" the missing 5 chapters (106+5=111), or not?

@SomaHeir I have noticed on multiple series' MAL pages that they do not show the number of the final chapter, but the **total** amount **including** extras, which makes sense. @Julo According to the the scanlator's [numbering](https://www.mangaupdates.com/releases.html?stype=series&search=39200&perpage=100), this series seems to be comprised of the 106 normal chapters plus the following **seven** extras: \- v06_c033.5 ("A Stray Cat and Her Kittens") \- v06_c033.6 ("Akane's Summer Resort") \- v11_c063.5 ("Special Branch-off Edition") \- v13_c075.1 ("Special Edition") \- v13_c075.2 ("Special Short") \- v14_c084.1 ("Afterword") \- v16_c099.1 ("Special Story") My guess is that MAL counts 33.5 and 33.6 as well as 75.1 and 75.2 as single extra chapters, which would bring the total to 111. Unfortunately, v11_c063.5 is missing from this torrent, but is available [here](https://mega.nz/#!xc9TVaQD!gq2gLfU_FvAy_ovcL42ZJDk_KWih8QAPYNrZQ7f49ls).

@OP Despite the identical typesetting, the images in your release have much smaller file sizes than the ones served by [MD](https://mangadex.org/title/622/love-so-life/) (~1.24 GiB vs. ~5.86 GiB). Normally I would assume that MD has the originals from the scanlators, but the excessive file sizes, some of the metadata, comparing to [this](https://archive.org/download/manga_Love_So_Life) mirror and there being more compression artifacts lead me to believe that MD serves badly re-encoded files that are larger than the originals. Interestingly, some of your chapters are updated versions which added missing sound effect translations, re-aligned text, replaced hyphens with proper dashes, removed ads and fixed some cleaning errors ([examples](https://slowpics.org/comparison/600f29c8-0df7-4cc7-8dbd-29497d35823f)), while others are of noticeably lower quality despite their larger file sizes ([example](https://slowpics.org/comparison/a7e9c80d-8e66-4b28-9f6e-55e89125a7ce)) with some even having watermarks on each page ([example](https://slowpics.org/comparison/85d505df-c3c0-49e9-b40c-81abecab7ef9)). You said that you got your files "from a download elsewhere". I am curious to know what your source was. To conclude, I can not recommend either of the three mentioned releases over all others, so you should compare them yourself and combine their best parts to make a release worth archiving.

[Life So Happy](https://myanimelist.net/manga/98407/Life_So_Happy) is the ongoing sequel to this series. So far, eleven chapters and one extra have been [scanlated](https://www.mangaupdates.com/releases.html?search=132544&stype=series) by a certain group. Unfortunately, not only do they profit from hiding their direct download links behind malware, but, due to their choice of hosters, only the latest chapter (v03_c11) is still available and [this](https://archive.org/download/manga_Life_So_Happy) partial mirror is missing chapters 8-10. Because of this, all chapters have been ripped from the groups official online reader and can be found [here](https://mega.nz/#F!1c8hhQqC!ddVdJwmbZRvgroJtqa64jw). Spam pages and metadata have been removed. To give you an indication of the quality, this is a part of the very first page:
