Wishy said: The thing is that reading manga via PC is somehow awful, it's way cooler to read the real thing instead of reading manga from a screen, at least I feel really better when having the little book on my hands. I know what you mean but I can't afford to buy everything i read :( |

dtshyk said: 3. There are few manga stores within the walking distance from home. He expects the download service of manga will expand the manga market outside Japan. Yeah and it's even worse where I live. I know ONE place where you can buy manga here, it's a 40 minute train ride from my nearest train station and even then they only sell manga that has been out for over three years because that's how long it takes them to translate the manga into our language (lazy bastards) and because of that they are ridiculously over-priced. Seriously, they are still selling the first chapters of Naruto (not shippuuden) here. My only option of reading manga was by reading it online but now they licensed about every manga out there so I have no chance of reading it anymore. |

dtshyk said: Manga publishers have to pay the production costs, the expenses for the advertisement, and the fees for the airing blocks on TV. Interesting...I didn't realize that it was the manga publishers who funded most animes. They must really have a lot of money at their disposal. adamantine said: Yamine said: So how much is a manga volume in Japan? Around $4.50 in USD. Wow...they should totally publish more manga digitally in the US (and elsewhere, of course). I mean, why not? Think of the production costs they could save. I mean, it's nice having the paper volumes, but there's so much digital niceness that you can get on your computer/iPad/Kindle. (I wish I could afford an iPad/Kindle, but at least I have a computer.) And to buy it hardcopy, if I'm lucky I can find a half-price copy in the limited selection at the used bookstore, or pay $10+ for a new copy at Barnes&Noble. Or if they don't have it, I can buy it off an online store, but with the shipping it usually ends up being $12+. |
