Dont take my word for it but i think its bcs of how they "clean" the raws
No they definitely are AI generated, because at some points of the first story, you can see where the AI fucked up, like right beside his head when he’s drunk or under his arm
They definitely are AI, look at my response to the OP
If you go on Newtoki, the RAWs website that the translator most likely used, you can see that on the specific panels you're referring to (chapter 3), the watermark is on those parts. It's the cleaner's fault that it looks that way.
Is it me, or do some of the panels look AI generated?? Like, many of them look AI generated...????
