Book 2, I think, is an example: once done from the original print in epub resolution, then updated from a newer print (with the new logo) in HD resolution. They played with the contrast a bit to make everything look more sharpish and pretty. But this is double edged, because the originals had poorer colours to begin with, not anime like sharp ones, so you can easily end up losing detail and making everything look garish.
And for the cinebook ones, remember that those scans also depended on the quality of the prints (they were VERY poor). Dupuis books don't have that problem. I actually tried scanning them and they looked absolutely incredible, and yet not as good as the digitals (probably because the books are now coloured digitally as well).

But this confirms the feeling I had, that he treats Melusine as if she was growing up, facing situations that would naturally come up if you were raising a girl in real life. Puberty in book 21, death in book 22, drugs in the school in book 23, and now divorce and war.
I guess the big problem is that they already had over-arcing plots in the last few books by the original writer, and they were the best ones in the series. These ones are... just not really interesting, and seldom funny.
Which character is Midas?
>there's been numerous allusions they want to make a TV series based on itThat could be interesting, but they need to keep her voice the same as on the fireplace CD.
