| You know, some times you want to buy a manga but you just can't find it in your native languaje or because it is just no available anymore. Then went read online or download it, but even so, you want that manga physically. Anyone of you tried to make a home-made manga that you couldn't find for X reason? I mean, something like this (Sorry for the oversized images): Would you tried it? |
| Can't say that I have. |
 |
| lol... This is beyond pirating... But no... I haven't |

| Ink is expensive man haha |
YorozuyaGinSan said: lol... This is beyond pirating... But no... I haven't Haha yes I know, but does it make any diference between not buying anything legit because you can't have it for [Insert whatever reason/Excuse] and make this?. In some countries (like mine) is only illigal if you make a profit from it, for example I can print this for my personal use and it would be ok, the opposite goes if I print 100 copies for sale. I would do it if there's no other option. Still prefer to have it legit. |

HAHAHA, omg, seriously, this is obsession. :))) I have not tried yet, but I do buy manga instead since my dad would have a fit if he found out I overused the already overused printer. But I did print anime photos and pasted them on my notebook cover when I was a freshie in highschool. :P |
| Haven't tried it and never really though about it lol, and that would probably need a lot of ink and isnt cheap so its easier to just read it online. |
| Not bad OP... I wouldn't do it because it would utterly deplete my crappy printer ink and paper... But I used to work at an office where I had the freedom to print indiscriminately and discretely. Naturally, I abused this privilege and printed almost anything that you can think of.....although I never thought about making my own manga because I wasn't sure how good it would come out. I think you did a good job though. |
| I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. Also, seems pointless. |
| My friend actually did print one piece for a french class. The teacher asked us each to bring some French book to class for reading. He actually brought a french version of One piece, printed on A4 paper, to class. The teacher was speechless! |

I think you did a good job though. I did my social service in my university and also had acces to print all the crap I wanted, but wasn't even intersted in manga at that time. Only used for homeworks and stuff. But this isn't mine, this is from a random guy from the internet. He was explaining step by step how to print the manga. He did a good job thought. bunny_lover said: My friend actually did print one piece for a french class. The teacher asked us each to bring some French book to class for reading.

| Way back in college, I did one for a project for one of my minor subjects. I exerted so much effort that the project came in late. I remember having the original sketches stashed somewhere. :D |
 |
| Sounds like a great idea, I'm gonna do it |
 |
YorozuyaGinSan said: lol... This is beyond pirating... But no... I haven't Defeats the point of pirating if you have to pay for ink. Nope OP. |
| I saw this and laughed, havent ever done it xD never even thought about doing it xD if i have a "book" it has to be legit otherwise its not right :P |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |

If you order now, they have a deal where you can get $10 off shipping, you just need to type in CHEERS when it says "apply discount code" If you're gonna print manga with blurb, you have to resize all the pages to 735 by 1155 pixels first, this can be done with software like imageconverter plus very easily and quickly. OR you can just tell me what mangas you want printed, I will download them and put them up on blurb myself and you can just order them from my page for the same price you would pay normally. Thanks I'm gonna check it out! |
| It's so costly it's not a good idea. Printing LN/novels, though, is not too bad of an idea. I probably would print if it's my own manga. |

What if something's never been licensed, and never will be? I'm sure that's a lot worse for Spanish-speaking fans than for us too. Also, what the OP said about it being legal. I've only done this with Hayao Miyazaki's shorts, so I could lend them to some younger kids. |

| I think buying manga might be way cheaper, all that ink. O_o |

| I get the point that it is beyond pirating, expensive etc, but what about products that are not going to be sold outside Japan? One example would be Prisma Ilya which is totally different from the anime, it is still going on right now and will not be sold anytime soon (or never) in western countries. Personally, i would like to have a physical copy of my favorite manga. |

| Not seen people doing this before. Each to their own I guess. |

| schools typically charge 10 cents per page for a single black / white page. if we assume a manga has 60 pages and print 2 manga pages per page, then printing it in school would cost (10 cents / page)(60 pages)(1/2) = $3.00 meanwhile, a legal copy only costs around $7 - 9, have better quality and a nice-looking book cover. and unlike the pirated version, you can put it neatly in the bookshelf and see the beautiful artwork.

| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name. For those who want to learn Japanese through anime Resources for learning the language |
| Not sure if this counts but I printed my trash novel. XD |

| Sounds like it would be easier and cheaper to just go out and buy the damn thing. But I admire your dedication at least. |

| I tried it but I failed , i do not have a long experience in that so... |

| It'll be cheaper to just buy it in physical form. |
| This is very expensive on both paper and ink tho XD I'd try make one with my own manga as a doujin tho. Also.. I think that the original imported copy is much more neat compared to pirated/home-made. |
