This is referring to scanlation which you have to pay to get access to.

I noticed that https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=182355 is being done by Kotonoha Ura Translations they asked to make donation to their ko-fi in order to read.

Should this allow in mangaupdates? Since this is basically selling scanlation which crossed the grey area of scanlation.

I look at their 2 tumblr sites and they really did it.

My translations will be donation run, I will release chapters for free viewing once in a while, but the price will be $1 until I upload it to Batoto

Does that mean if you wait you can read it for free on BTT 🤔? I saw their projects on BTT some days ago

If they do release publicly, they should announce here when they do.

It seems they are taking advantage of MU to advertise their scanlation business. MU already in hot water with publisher despite being a release feed and this paywall thing will only anger publisher more.

Ohh i notice Kotonoha Translation & Kotonoha Ura Translations are managed by the same person. I'm not sure about

taking advantage of MU , maybe other users added their group & releases to MU.

Here their group profile on BTT

https://bato.to/group/19002/kotonoha-translations . They used to update publicly (?) on MD but MD is currently down. I have no idea what they will do when MD is back
