Innocent 1

Okay, so here's what I'm gonna do here for now. This kinda manga with this much detail shouldn't be done with issue scans because everything's gonna get blurred and unreadable. I translated this first chapter just because it's the first chapter, but I'll probably only do this in volumes because of the artwork thing, and because I really don't have time to do another series on a weekly basis. Plus I need a group to scanlate it once it gets to the point there are volumes. Buuut here ya go to read for now.
