Great idea from Square Enix. I hope they don't make it something like pay to view, although I can understand that somewhat if they decide that...
A SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS account will be needed to access the Digital Manga Store that is scheduled to launch this Fall, 2010.
Oh well that's great. Now even reading manga will cost me money.
Daw muffin.
Now you can't just STEAL.
Poor baby.

that a rip-off ? or that a their own invention ?
I'm willing to pay after visit the site, as long the price is reasonable though.
Btw "printscreen" button can make them lose many money

It's not only FMA and Soul Eater...
Vous pouvez d'ores et déjà lire des chapitres des séries FullMetal Alchemist, Soul Eater, Black Butler et Satan 666 sur la plateforme qui est accessible à l'adresse suivante http://www.square-enix.com/eu/fr/manga/
De nouvelles séries (Sumomomo Momomo, Pandora Hearts, Shikabane Hime, Jusqu'à ce que la mort nous sépare,...) seront bientôt déployées.

And we have already these mangas in France :
FMA, Soul Eater, Sumomomo Momomo, Satan666 : by Kurokawa
Pandora Hearts, Until the death... : Ki-oon
Shikabane Hime : Kaze Manga
Black Butler : Kana
I don't enjoy this news. And the French publishers ?

Out of all the country's in Europe, why France? :/
France has an enormous manga and comics market - most definitely the largest in Europe. They get a lot of manga the rest of the world outside of Japan will never see. Scrap population differences, France probably has a larger manga market than America.

People who steal scanalations from scanlators and love money generated from ads of their websites so much they degrade the stolen scanlation image quality/resolution and provide it are why they are going against half-assed "online manga' websites like one manga..
fix'd.
I meant IRC feeds of scanlators and their sites... that trickle down into manga hosting sites like MangatoShokan or Onemanga,etc.

You've ever heard, that manga is not a free service and scanlations are piracy? It's because of people like you that manga publishers are going against scanlations.
(as for me, I read online and buy)
Lmao, how much manga/anime do you buy compared to how much you read and watch online? You're in the same boat as me. Idc if you buy, you're still reading online. And yeah, I don't buy manga. You know why? Do I really want to spend $15 on a manga tank of outdated manga that I have to drive more than 30 minutes to the local closest bookstore with only Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Fruits Basket, and 5 other titles? Please. Would I buy manga/anime online? Yeah, and I have. Bought several series of anime: Clannad, Claymore, FMA, and To Aru Kagaku no Railgun straight from Japan with extra shipping/handing. It cost me a fucking fortune of about 2-3 weeks worth of part time work 5 days a week. All for just 5 series. All Japanese. Now then, if I would try to buy all the series I would have to cut spendings on food, rent, etc that I need to spend on. And you know what? It isn't the same as going to a site with a large library that I can pick and choose to indulge myself. Sorry, but you do the same. People like me? Don't begin the insults please. They could care less about me. People who share and love manga/anime so much they handle sites and provide it are why they are going against scanlations.

When i see e-books with a protection account where everything that you bought is listed so you never loose it for good we can talk >.<

Plus this is only the beginning.
I think it's too soon to call off the idea as "bad".
I rather they start out with a few places first, then expand and make manga more widely available to other countries if the idea works well. You never know.
Jul 22, 2010 1:07 PM by Bunny-kins
And yeah, please the US and France! What's with all the other countries? Thanks guys. *irony*

This can be either a very good idea or a terrible idea.
