Horie Yui has nothing to do with the manga though. I'm confused.  |

Hope this expands to an English translated site. Off-topic, I just realized "an one-shot" sounds awkward. |

Hope more mangakas get on this I just went there and clicked every ad I found and intend on doing so every day I can to repay for all the mangas I read. Too bad I don't know how to read JAP or I would have really enjoyed it. |

I Approve. Looks like this may just turn into a new business model. Then instead of publishing companies hunting downloaders and scanlators they may just invite them on board, seeing as some scans are in better English than the official ones  |

Hopefully it will generate a lot of revenue so that it will be a viable solution for mangakas.  |
