@KimJong-Un I'm referring to the line directly above.

Can I read my purchased manga even if I am banned?
You can still read the items you have already purchased, but will not be able to make additional purchases.

Oops, my reading comprehension seems bad today. So if that is the case and I can read every purchase while banned does that mean the ban screen is gone? As I recall being banned stops you from going on the site.

@KimJong-Un I'm honestly not sure how it works exactly. I would need to ask.

Thank you @Kineta. I was simply wondering as if this allows you to go on site does that mean we keep our lists as well. Myself have no plans of getting banned to try this out.

Awesome! Though I really hope you guys add the ability to download them at some point as PDFs. Only way I'd buy manga digitally is if I get to own them as pdfs.

Although it is good to see more offerings of digital manga, the pricing model simply isn't acceptable to me.

1) Costs more to buy than physical product
2) Costs less to produce than physical product (in fact, after the fixed costs there are no costs at all)

The preview feature is very nice though.

So why can you not see how many chapters are in a volume? This is an issue across all sites that try to sell manga. You sometimes get page counts, but those are somewhat worthless since who reads based on how many pages it has? If you want to get pirates to come over to the paying side we need to know where a volume starts/ends if we want to start picking up from where we read.

I don't mean to be mean but BookWalker Global and ComiXology is ~30% cheaper. JFYI

How does licensing work? Because you are selling me manga that have been licensed in my country. Unless you have worked out deals with those publishers, it actually does not seem legal.

Does anyone know if they will be updating MAL to show the age ratings for all their manga? It would be really nice if they did I'm having a really difficult time trying to find the age ratings for manga but I haven't found any good sites! If anyone has some please let me know.

Question: Is there a shopping cart or do I have to pay for all of this stuff one by one? That can't be... can it?? Can I just not see an "Add to Cart" button?

The reader doesn't work properly on a touchscreen.

To open the options you have to hover the cursor over the very edge which isn't possible with a touchscreen.

A comparison of different prices from Italy, top to bottom: MyAnimeList, Amazon, Starshop.it

There are other shops but the latter two are the most common and prices are the same.
So, why should I buy digital non-offline english scans from MAL at 20 € when I can buy a physical translated volume at ~5 €?

This is hilarious, i was going to post the same comparison (but with Vinland Saga instead of Blame!).
