Why black and white? Also you are gonna want to make the images bigger.

Black and white was a style choice.  I felt like it.  As for the image sizes, they are already 6.625 inches wide by 10./25 inches tall which is base on standard trade paperback size and the resolution is 300 dpi which is 50 dpi higher than standard print resolution.  It's a good resolution as is and any higher would just increase file size to a point where you couldn't upload it.

Might wanna play with it more because both the size and colors make it hard to see whats going on. Also might wanna go with an image hosting site.

A nice chunk of humor centered on the calm spell effects in adventuring. The comic format helps to follow the story's dialogue, so there's potential ; awaiting to see if you'll go towards more realism or still towards humor. ?

Except we're not reading a paperback or a manga. And you'll observe that mangas tend to have a simplified background and lighting to highlight better the action and characters, which is not the case with straight screenshots. Currently readers would be unable to recognize your main character's face if they had to. That being said, I appreciate the will to produce something comparable to reading standards. 

Now I have a few suggestions :

— If you wanna limit yourself to black and white, then unless you're actually publishing I see not need to limit the resolution either. Just keep the ratio in line with the format you have in mind, and then adapting it if needed would be a matter of seconds.

— You could give a try at regular US/EU comics format, x4 the size of a manga. Check this if you want to get an idea of how it'd look.

— About upload size, 85 ko is actually very small. To reach LL's limit with that image size, you'd need to upload around 60 images, which is to say 120 pages of your current format. If you don't want the compression to decrease again the readability, I'd advise to use a lighter jpeg compression. You'll find more info here if you're interested.
