Over 1,300 pirate sites reportedly offer manga and in a single month, 100 new pirate sites appeared. Cost to the industry: $800m per month.

For real, I’d pay for anime, manga, hentai, manhwan, western comics, etc. if there was just one site or a group of sites that:

  • required just one account and/or one subscription for all of them
  • was available worldwide with no restrictions
  • was fast
  • let me pay in any currency
  • translated everything in different languages

Fuck yeah I’d pay for that. Sign me the fuck up for that awesome legal option.

Instead we have whatever the fuck is going on right now. Fan-subs and fan-translations are mandatory because their shit isn’t translated either ever or not in time. I want to give you my money for what I want and so that you make more awesome shit, but you fucking won’t let me.

The ships have to sail 🤷

Crucially: let me have the damn files.

Why would I pay to use your awful webreader or streaming client when reader apps with good UI and quality video players exist.
