Comments on: i dont like mondays http://www.mydailymanga.com/2009/08/10/i-dont-like-mondays/ Insider's Site for Manga Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:21:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: CGorhant http://www.mydailymanga.com/2009/08/10/i-dont-like-mondays/#comment-5031 CGorhant Thu, 13 Aug 2009 19:08:35 +0000 http://www.mydailymanga.com/?p=4271#comment-5031 Hm, thats a point, if its not available... In general, I'd say I like the copyright system of printed media. But on the other hand, if someone really likes a manga posted here, maybe ge goes and buys it, a thing he wouldnT have done withoutt reading a scanlation first. At least I try to own my most precious series on paper. To drop a manga if he is licensed is truly old school. Maybe they where right. It's hard to judge objectively if you HAVE all the free manga around you. Don't know if it would be better if manga would only spread through borrowd bokks and stuff. maybe people would appreciate the work of the author more. But the internet is here, so meh, pointless thought. Internet has changed a lot... @scangroup goes legit: I think thats very difficult. First, the money would only fit for one person, not for a group, I suppose. So you have to speak japanese, to scout new manga. Then, a high demand of a scanlation isn't proof for a financial success, if printed. See how many people read Naruto and Bleach and 100 other shonen. But they would never buy it. I think at least 40% of the reading list of everyone is just something you started long ago and now you're forced to drag it along 'cause you want to know the end. Like Gantz, lol Err well, long comment. Into an old post ;) Hm, thats a point, if its not available…

I kind of understand, that they want to earn money but: 1. other translators, editors and so on do it for free, too (except the costs for a server, that is another thing) and 2. its not that this makes it more legal. We all "steal" the hard work of the mangaka in a way. We buy some series, what we like most and what's available in your country, but all the rest... stolen. Charging money for that, no. imho of course. WFP does a great work, nevertheless! @WFP: Same here.

Don't know 1. if anyone is a member and 2. if we can simply post their releases here for free..? They also mentioned Damons (<a href="http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=6783%29%3C/a%3E" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=6783)</a>" target="_blank">http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=6783) and that it was widely ignored; maybe I'll check that out. Its by Osamu Tezuka, the man! edit: wow, I didn't realize, Shamo 25 and beginning of 26 was already out. I though we had reached the point of the realization-stop already! 2nd edit: now WHAT?? On MU, Shamo is labelled as "ongoing" again. Glaocos on the other hand is "complete" with 4 volumes. That's goood news!! Glaucos being a tight, short, to-the-point manga and not endless like Shamo, on the other hand, we finally get to know the end of Shamo ;) Yes, that sure is an amazing release! xD
