For comparison one of my manga series is about 280 chapters, 3.6k image scans, and takes up about 260mb. A longer series with over 8k image scans can take up to 1gb. I would assume manga has smaller file sizes since almost all pages lack color.
Yeh 32 chapters if you like, I'm classing a comic as about 30 pages of colour a4 print. Basically like an actual comic marvel or dc from the comic store, a normal story arc could easily be 200mb+ that single 30 pager is usually between 10 and 20mb.
