I was rereading some parts of the separation arc recently, and I noticed something:

Shouldn't Shojo's sentence in that last panel read "That 'faking sincerity' bit is a pretty useful trick, too."?

Shouldn't Shojo's sentence in that last panel read "That 'faking sincerity' bit is a pretty useful trick, too."?In the book (Don't Split the Party), it is written that way. The online versions do not receive these corrections, because....



There are certain changes that I need to make to prepare the art for publishing, and those changes have already been made to the files that have the typos fixed. These range from things like color corrections (some things look different printed than on screen) to deleting the title and author line from the top of each comic. Putting the fixed ones up would require reversing those changes, which is time that I could better spend doing...anything. And since I don't remember what strips had typos and what didn't (and almost the entirety of the first book had major changes on every page, including straightening the borders), I would either have to sort through them all or convert and upload all of them. Either option is more time wasted.

Not to mention, one of the selling points of the books (especially the first one) is that the comics have been "cleaned up" from their original posting, including art fixes and typo fixes. So there is little incentive for me to change them in the first place.
