I know manga is not available to everyone. Scans are awesome, I download them though that's not really supporting the manga-ka. I like Viz's translation, it's funny and it's not all that different from the scanlations.
Manga is not available to me unless I really want to drive an hour to find a bookstore. I order online which most people can do. There are plenty of online stores that will find a way to send it to you. I know most stores deliver to a lot of countries, except maybe like the UK, but a friend of mine there somehow got some volumes.
If you just try and search around you can get them. But if they can't get in their own language, thats a different story. But the person I was talking to obviously spoke and understood English. Spanish is my first language, but I read everything in English. I think if you can understand some English, you would buy the volumes in English. If you can't, sure go get some scanlations in your own language. But right now I'm talking about the English scanlations.
But don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for them. Though if you really love a manga, buy it. I even buy the Japanese Ouran volumes. If you don't like it, I won't blame you if you don't buy it. I regret not reading a scanlation first of Mermaid Melody....but what I'm talking about here is that Ouran is no longer being scanlated so there's no use pressuring groups to scanlate it. You have no choice but to buy it.

Ouran is licensed, so go buy it. There's really no point to scanlating it. I keep myself updated on the new chapters from people who translate it and give me a summary. There are 10 volumes in Japan, and 9 here. I think we're doing pretty good here.
There are a lot of people who love Ouran, and if you do you would go buy it.
stop lecturing people.
once again ill explain that there r people who live in countries that do not have manga's in bookstores or eherever. neither they get it in their first language. its not licensed in MY country, and US is not the whole damn world.
Just out of curiousity, but can you find manga in online stores and be able to buy it if you live outside the U.S.?
Yea you can, but it depends on the site and where you live. I order from justmanga.com Though a good idea is to search around sites you find and see where they deliver to. Do you live outside the US? If so where? Maybe I can help you find a site.
