Most things I regularly read are via public library system (where I live you only pay 1 or 2 bucks when get first library card & only ever pay after that if you have late fees, need replacement card , or use the printer/copier/faxer) so I rarely buy books. The few manga I’ve bought for myself are mainly stand alone volumes, like Cats of the Louvre. But I typically buy them before I’ve read them, like, I sorta flip through them & read the back and occasionally one will speak to me.
Are there any stories that were so good you debated buying them or wished you could buy them legally to support the author?
