He started making the bars translucent in early 2020 or so, and then went back to opaque in late 2024. Being able to jack up the brightness and clean up the feathering is what uncensoring nearly every Hidarikiki work hinged on. Those doujins even have two different levels of censorship depending on where you get them from as detailed in the gallery lander, but spending a month studying and removing hundreds and hundreds of black bars is why I'm so hyper aware of that.
I don't know what approach you used with that one there but I'll say it looks pretty damn good, decensoring just a game of filling in the gaps but I'm too OCD about what *exactly* could be under there to do solid blacks most of the time.

Speaking of doujins though, Hidari posted pictures from comiket on his Twitter yesterday(?) which is great and all, but hurry up and upload the digital version already
