I know right, I don't even know why they actually license manga, like yeah, more people work on it, but it would be way better if it would be free. And it happens all the time, when there's a good manga out there T-T
Licensed manga = Only one certain company is able to publish the certain manga and no one else gets to or else it is deemed as being illegal. Companies license(s..?) manga to earn money (of course.) For each sale they get, the Japanese company will pay them a certain amount. So companies usually look for unlicensed manga and go up to the Japanese companies and get them licensed. I mean...look at what Libre did.
Licensed manga also means that you do not have the right to read or download it freely off the internet.
As much as I don't like manga getting licensed, it's a good thing since it is directly supporting the mangaka.
Yeah, it may feel annoying when a manga you've been reading for free stops because it's been licensed, but it is still available, you may just have to wait awhile for official licensed version to catch up to what you read in scans. And supporting a mangaka whose work you like is a good thing. But it is SOO FRUSTRATING when the English (or whatever language you are reading it in) publisher drops the manga before the end, but since it was once licensed the scans stopped. I'm talking about you DMP, why not publish the final volume of Countdown 7 Days in English?
You should calm down guys, I assume this manga was licensed, that means it's not free anymore and you can only buy an official translation somewhere. So stop spaming the updete stuff, it won't happen, and those translators can't do anything about it.
