http://blog.openmanga.org/ wants to be the future...not entirely sure if I support it or not but for now just have to sit back and wait to see how things pan out.

How the hell am I gonna read Bakuman now

Seriously though, this sucks. How else am I suppose to check out new series? I'd always hbear goning on about certain titles and if I find them interesting, I'd go over to sites like onemanga or mangafox. Guess I'll focus on finnishing series I've already started :bawling:

You go to the scanlators themselves. SleepyFans.

Christ, the scanning large sites have made you guys weak and whiny. If you really care, hunt it down. If you can't, suck it up.

Do Japanese fans read DC and Marvel related stuff online? (If any fans)

I'm sure they do, though the amount of Scanaltions going in to Japan is surpassed by the amount coming out a Billion times over.

Wow, really? Most of the comments sound like hate speeches from people who don't like non-japanese reading manga. Few comments sound as if it should have been stopped because of legal issues. Oh well what do you expect from 2ch I suppose.

Some of the comments that amused me were.

“With the strong yen they are probably aiming to curb Japanese copying.”

“Manga is wasted on foreigners. Those outside Japan should stick to reading manhwa!”

“They get them even faster than the Japanese regions do. It’s too much…”

(that made me really lol)

“They wouldn’t buy even if it were cheap. Their anime is far cheaper than in Japan and they still won’t buy.”

now THAT is a blatant lie
Anyway oh well what can you do.

I want to fucking punch the person who said that in the face

They get them even faster than the Japanese regions do. It’s too much…

Maybe because we like it more than you do

I support all aspect of manga, anime, toku, and movies. If I see a domesticated version of said product I will buy it knowing how much I enjoyed the scan or sub. I know that people will be on both sides of the coin on this one. Only think to do is to support what we love and make sure that it continues to exist to enjoy us. Plus I rather support the scanlation teams and creators. Some of those sites were a bit ridiculous at times. My little POV on the subject doesn't isn't ment to offend, just my 2 cents on the matter.
