REALITY CHECK July 5, 2017 9:34 pm

TO ALL PEOPLE SAYING JUST BUY IT POOR ASS. Here are some REALITY CHECKS:
1. Only translated famous/in demand mangas are sold in stores in several countries. The last time I saw a manga being sold was on a graphic expo and the owner was only here for a few days. It was also not translated in english. Most stores here only have tokyo ghoup, one piece, fairy tail and other old mangas such as La Corda (not sure about the name sorry) and Fruit Basket. Some are unknown but the choices of manga is approximately 30 or less. No, there isnt any manhwa or manhua either.
2. Not every site selling mangas are like lezhin that has english translations available which can be bought. Almost everything is in the manga/manwha/manhua's native language so if you don't have a friend who knows that certain language or google translate it yourself through scribbling the characters, your best alternatives are translators picking such manga up. ENGLISH ISNT THE ONLY LANGUAGE AND NOT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD UNDERSTANDS IT. YA THINK HIDOKU SHINAIDE IS BEING SOLD IN RUSSIAN? -_____- (If yes then by all means I stand corrected)
3. BRUH YA THINK YAOI MANGAS ARE EVERYWHERE? OR EVEN OTHER GENRES THAT READERS MAY PREFER (i.e yuri, shounen ai, etc). I live in a conservative country and comics where guys are HOLDING HANDS might get an issue or pointed out by whatever org there is. You gotta accept the fact that not all genres may be sold anywhere that is accessible.
4. Not everyone has a paypal or credit card that most paying systems require. I rarely see debit card options. The most I am able to pay is through mobile payment using loads (loads in our country is what you use to call and text people when youre using mobile phones. i.e. you reload 100 and you can use it to pay. Playstores may have this option).
5. You gotta consider the situation of the person. Some cant use cards because they may: a. not have one, b. are given by their parents simply for schools or other important necessities, c. are not compatible with the payment system, d. do not have money to spare. Some of those who cant use online payments end up buying whatever they could in the stores which may result back to #1.
6. We dont all have jobs and money to spare due to our circumstances. Dont judge or start attack people cause they are "poor". JUST CAUSE YOU AINT LIVING A HARD LIFE DOESNT MEAN NO ONE DOES. Plus, not all those who are poor have a choice to just buy whatever they want Generalizing them to those who simply dont want to buy but still have thr means to is plain ignorance. As I've said, you have to consider the situation first. You dont know the WHY so stop assuming.
7. Some of the people reading here support the authors way more than those who "pretend" they do (not all, but most who pretend). Even translators encourage readers to support the author and buy their works. Some even send links where it can be bought.

The list may not be complete as these are all my perspective. Circumstances may be different but that doesnt mean these things I said do not happen at all. Dont go calling people poor or stuff just cause they can't buy the things they love due to reasons they cannot do something about or have no power to change because yes, there are things that we cannot handle. Money aint always the issue. Lastly, SUPPORT THE AUTHOR ANY WAY YOU CAN. IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO BUY THEIR WORKS, TRANSLATED OR NOT, THEN DO SO. IF YOU DON'T, THEN ENCOURAGE OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAN TO DO SO.

THESE AINT EXCUSES PEOPLE. THIS IS REALITY.

    It's really true
    in our country there is no manga, even shoujo :| ... Since we can't accept the relationship between male and it's sin of course there is noway u can even mention shounen ai, so yaoi is out of question!!!!
    i just once heard that in capital there is about 10 mangas that are censored...Seriously!!! What does a shoujo manga have to be censored????
    we can't use those credit u always mentioned!! It's not just an excuse there is just noway!!!Even if there was the pay would be too high for me to pay!!! the exchange would be just too much on me!!! For the record let's just say that we can't even use amazon for requesting something to deliver even though it's available alomost everywhere!!!
    And about supports!!!!how many people knew about lezhin before they read the manhwas at mangago???or even about mangas??
    plz trey to understand just a little!!

    Let's not mentioned it
    I would feel guilty to say that ... It's just a third-world country in the middle-east
    Well there are just too many limits for relationships and thing that may be involved but it's not that bad!!!
    And about credit and amazon and such , there are political reasons involved hehe (⊙…⊙ )

And when i found out i did have some trouble switching it to English version at first!!!!but it doesn't make much of a difference, i just can't pay for it!!!It's not possible!!!

    I agree, a lot of people are not able to buy the manga where they live. There is some yaoi where I live but not the ones I read, not complaining though! This leaves potential options in the future! HOWEVER! I was fortunate enough to be invited to Japan and when I went the first thing I did was support the mangakas and bought all the yaoi and shoujo I could fit in my suitcase..... plus I loaded up on the prince of tennis haha (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ I am grateful for mangago and other online sites. Plus, I also use lezhin! I go to read a man like you, as well as, at the end of the road when I have money...so....people shouldn't assume that everyone who come on here are not also supporting the mangakas. I can't read japanese yet so I still come on here to read what I bought.
    ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ I understand people are upset but not everyone can get access to the manga and if you are able to just try to support the artists when you can! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
