The group's watermark logo thingy on the latest chapter was so annoying that I couldn't bear to read this without wanting to punch my computer screen. It's super annoying when there's a big a s s one on one panel in the background, but when it's plastered over pretty much everything, the chapter is RUINED! The mangaka works hard, and while it sucks that her work is posted freely over the internet, that doesn't mean she's losing too much money. The translator groups also work hard, I used to be a one man group, I get it, but you guys are supposed to be volunteers! It's also super arrogant to post your label on EVERY PAGE even if it's just once! The beginning pages are good enough to spread the word that this is your work.
Define "too much"? How about I come to where you work on payday and take 20% off your paycheck. That's not too much, is it? If someone else decides you're making enough money for your hard work and it's okay to take some of it, that should be okay with you, right?
Of all the ridiculous justifications for piracy, this is the most revolting and indefensible.
It's not the translation group who put the watermarks. It's the owner of those chinese scanlations on 3n5b who put it. Sadly they couldn't find a better scanlation other than this.
I know the translation group will release "the better scans" since they already got their own copy. But not this month I think.
BUUUUT since you insult their hardwork without knowing anything, I don't think they will post the HQ here. hohoho
Psst: I don't really mind with many watermarks. BUT OH GOD PHUEEESE DON'T PUT IT ON ASAMI-SAMA's GOD FACE!!!!!!!!!! I NEED TO SEE IT!
Just buy the volume when it comes out; clean as can be. If not, deal with it, you've got something at least, and that in an illegal way :X. Can't be too picky about what free stuff you get.
The scans were from the chinese scanlation team. They have a huge problem with people reposting the pages on facebook or twitter, basically social medias. Because well, China or Japan aren't happy places to get caught scanlating; people actually get arrested for it!
This February, Japan arrested 44 Japanese men for the piracy of movies, music, anime, manga or computer software :/. Fines between $1,785 and $89,200 (200,000 to 10 million yen) and jail sentences of up to ten years, depending on their offense. Last year the chinese government got a couple chinese people too.
"Do not repost this on XXXX" is what's written in chinese all over the pages. They aren't watermarks of their scanlation team name (well one still is, but the rest is just that). They're trying to save their asses. People apparently still posted on them, so they stepped up their game.
Just like the English scanlation team is trying to save their asses by staying in a private page. Because well, the scanlation team before them got caught and could've been sued if they did not stop.
Stupidest comment ever. Nobody owes you shit you ungrateful scum. They don't have to share it here if they didn't want to. Would you rather get nothing? The amount of idiots on the VF board is just phenomenal. Justifying stealing and then complain about it.
And yet, you're here.
Well who cares if people are getting sued/arrested/jailed as long as our princess here can enjoy her free chapter in the best condition possible. That's totally not selfish at all.
And yet, so are you. How long should we continue this?
Why don't you guys just enjoy the free things while it lasts? (〜￣△￣)〜
what's your excuse for comming here? do you think with no complains from you, you help sensei? or insult others tiefs make ur guilty gone away, or do you think that the fact you buy her book or two can erase the fact that you also like all others here harmed one way or another sensei's hardwork! open ur eyes the fact that this website exist damage sensei tough labor !!!! at least I know what i do ! but like a drug addict I can not abstain myself to come here every moment to check any updates and complain that it's not enough like a crazy addicted that I am, plz pray god that one day I will cured ! but i think imbecility has no cure !
I'm not the one saying how horrible it is.
You know what? I'm actually happy there's not too much of it coming out. Because, of course for someone that will never buy mangas, whether a manga comes out weekly or bimonthly doesn't change a thing about their wallet, but man am I grateful I can easily afford her work, and that she can also polish her volume releases to that extent :)
Stupidity indeed has no cure as evidenced by your comment. I'm fully aware what we are doing now is basically illegal but I'm thankful to the scan groups who provide scans for those who cannot purchase for whatever reason. I'm planning to pick up the English volume when it comes out but that will be months or even a year from now. The original poster is the one who said there's nothing wrong with reading here, it's not a bad thing and then went on to blame the scanners who sacrifice their time for horrible people like us for watermarked scans. So what is it you are accusing me of here exactly?
Show some gratitude! This was done as a favor to the fans and released quickly while the other complainers (this fandom has the biggest bunch of whiners) were crying about it not being a canon chapter. This person/group could have let everybody wait for a year to purchase the official English version.
you want to make me jealous? :P thanks god I can affrod to buy a manga it's not that expenssive vol 7 is about 18,5 euros ,I can sacrifice 1/1000 of my pay ! but you know that it's impossible ! even via the net coz ebay or amazon is unavailable in my country! so I must take a plane crossing sea to just purchasing a manga!? it's a madness ! not forgetting i must get a schengen visa, hotel charges .... ! so yeah I can just be a leecher ! on other side I have a lot privileges to be out of the system ! I am free from the matrix :)

This website is well known and has worldwide free shipping.
Aha, but I'm just saying, about no one can or wants to keep up with weekly mangas with the prices they are up in America (I think in Europe it's a bit less, but still not quite on par with Japan). 10 to 14$ for a volume that comes out every one and a half months, like gee. Like if you follow three series, you end up spending 300$ per year on that with taxes included.
I'm going to stick to spending 17$ to import Finder every two and a half years, as well as supporting the magazine every now and then, thank you xD.
I was just thinking that people complaining about her not being as fast as weekly mangakas probably weren't people paying for it aha. I find it quite inconvenient when they're too fast, my wallet can't keep up and I end up dropping the series entirely aha.
Anyway, as for Amazon, which country are you from again?
Yeah but well, "worldwide" doesn't include Cuba, Syria, Iran, Sudan or North Korea, doesn't it? xD
This was well done trans. and scan. and done quickly. The trans. was good. (to me any way) I don't care abt. the water mark. Piracy? every manga here is here how?
you contradict yourself, you insulted the readers who steal and complain but they are just a leechers, they own nothing in reality ! the first one who stealing her works are the translation group and the scanners "who sacrifice their time" ! but you justify it by sharing ! moreover ur thankful to them ! indeed stupid is stupid ! ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

reponce they are just trying to rile you . Stop! Scan and trans groups actually HELPED to spread the love of manga to the west through sites like this. they did that thru their work and posting. the writers gained bec. people learned abt. their work and brought it. The scans act as adver. for the manga. That is how a lot get seen here and in EU. Look at Bleach. Viewfinder,Twitting Birds. Ten Count and others. their success grew with the scans.the readers are not bad either.
The more popular does not mean the more sales. What publishers end up noticing is that when people ask them a certain scanlated manga, the first few mangas sell well, but after that it drops drastically. Kind of like readers feeling they've done their part by buying a few volumes... On another instance, one publisher published a manga that was scanlated, sells were doing okay but on volume 12 the sales exceeded their expectations way too much. It was because that volume wasn't scanlated, and of course people didn't bother to buy what they already read online...
Hugely popular mangas are going to be huge anyway though. Mangas sold very well in France when there wasn't accessible mangas, and to this day they still do. And amusingly, many are not able to read English, and French scanlations are far and few between...
Basically what that means is that lesser known mangas are much less marketable in English countries than France or Germany. People just read them online, but are not hugely popular, so the sales it'd get for people just wanting to read it once evaporate.
Bleach would've been hugely popular without scanlations, trust me aha.
10 count was licensed 6 months after its Japanese release in France. Oops!
By license I meant vol 1 came out in France on Septembre 2014, while Japanese one came out on March 2014.
Totally needed scanlations to be marketable in a country where scanlations are much less massive huh. Seriously, French scanlations are still shared on the forums of the team and nowhere else, there's so much less of them and they're much harder to find, let alone not all at the same place.
Ten Count comes out and the end of the summer in English. Two years later (than the French one!). Wow, that helped. With so much more English speaking people at that, such a broader international reach, you'd think it'd be the opposite.
What? Your comments don't make sense at all. So evidently since the scanners are the one stealing they are the ones in the wrong and us leechers merely feed of them are not as bad? Sounds like you are the one trying to feel better about leeching something for free. There's no justification in stealing but to bite the hand that's feeding you is just plain stupid. Hopefully the scan group decides to stop sharing it here since it's so terrible of them. Then there won't be anything left to complain about.
hahahaha my country doesn't figure in the list where this web site can deliver those purchace ! I live in north africa. anyway thanks !
Algérie.
Okay, I think they changed the translation here or I read a different version, but upon rereading this for the upteenth time I found this:
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/you_re_my_loveprize_in_viewfinder/mh/v05/c030/40/
He's basically saying that he wants Aki's love, but that totally means he loves him back.
This should definitely count as a love confession.
Yeah he loves Aki, but he never says it. Aki loves Asa but is in self-denile.
Well there are dofferences between true love and attraction (physical or not). Many times you think you're in love...but then you realize you are not...I'm talking about real life. In a story like aki and asami i dont think this could happen...they're meant to be together in the end.
My boyfriend and I are very open with each other, so sometimes when we're bored and I'm reading my dank yaoi shit, he'll be the cute curious cat I love and ask what's it about. He won't actually care and will make faces when I talk about the smut, but he'll also leave trollish comments on some of the chapters. I think this one was one of them because I reread it so much when waiting for my yaoi to update. So, if anyone asks you to buy some fruit or dank memes, just ignore please. He's an idiot sometimes haha (￣∇￣")
No one cares
