Japanese publishers' idea of fighting against manga piracy: kill all legal options and launch their own website that is only available in USA (kmanga).
Gee, I wonder why that didn't work!
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:
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.
