Hi,
The other thing worth pointing out here is that with good translations for many there's even less reason to buy the manga than before.
How many volumes of Berserk translated scans would be available, I wonder, if it hadn't been for the availability of translations by myself, Ranemaka, Eirias, Cronus and others!?
Needless to say, I am not at all happy that persons unnamed have made use of my work without my permission and without acknowledgement.
Re poverty, having been dirt poor - still am in fact - a student and coming from shores other than continental North America, I really can not sympathise with anyone that refuses to buy the manga for that reason alone. What are we talking about cost wise? No more than what it takes to see a movie, buy some take-out or 2-3 schooners, or go and see the footy. No need for a credit card either. Well, not if you buy from Acclimate Solution at any rate.
One last point, readability does not always equate with a good, that is an accurate, translation - worth remembering if you do have some of those scans people.
