I've bought both volumes of Beast Master, and I currently own all the volumes of Ultra Maniac in English translation!
That's all I'll be spending on manga/manhwa from now on 🤣

when you dyslexic cant read real book you can read manga its to bad that we cant get more downloads to read fix link to the web sits i hate reading online no fun i hate face book to 😕

I'm not an impulse buyer when it comes to manga, but I always, ALWAYS buy whatever my favorite authors come out with, including going through extensive searches for much older, out-of-print works in Japan.

So I basically own everything by URASAWA Naoki, Kawachi Haruka, Okazaki Mari, Ikuemi Ryou, and George Asakura, and a couple of series from a plethora of other different artists that I find interesting.

As for digital comics, I only recently purchased a 4-koma manga by muse-work called "(Together On Top of the Roof) Neko-maki" v1~v2. Surprisingly cheap. The first volume was free, and the second one cost about $1.99. Digital is not as bad as I thought it would be.

I do scanlate, but I always buy one copy for that and an extra for my shelf if I do. I think it's very important to support the creators.

It really is abysmal. Although I'm a paying subscriber, I virtually never visit Viz or Crunchyroll anymore, and stick with the pirated content almost exclusively. Better readers, no weaboo fright, and (often) better quality translations.

As even to need more to do look more like?

I probably buy an average of 2-3 new manga volumes per month, and used manga whenever I see something I like that's a good deal. I probably have about 300 volumes by now. I don't buy a whole lot digitally because I have yet to see an official electronic manga reader that isn't fiddly :/

I have and I still do buy manga. Before it was cos there wasn't reading sites like now and now it's mainly becouse I do wanna support the mangakas of my fav mangas.

me, my brother and sisters have been buying mangas since i was still in elementary school... we still do now even though we don't live in the same house anymore...
i just bought a couple few hours ago... how many volumes of many titles of manga that i personally bought.... many (i never bother to count them).

I buy them for my niece and nephew; mostly my niece, as my nephew prefers computer games. I felt robbed when I bought anime sets in my teens and I just prefer to read on my PC.

If you haven't paid £120-£180 for a series with one DVD released every 3 months and then seen the boxset released 3 months after the last DVD for ~£80 and then the flat-pack released 3 months after that, for £20 (the price of one DVD at the time), then you can't spout the "it's too expensive" excuse; <- my experiences with Noir and .Hack//Sign.

I want my niece to understand that stuff costs money, so she either has to wait until birthday/christmas or buy them herself.

Lose - Opposite of win, to misplace something/someone. e.g. To lose your way, to lose a fight.
Loose - Opposite of tight. e.g. To have a loose screw, to loosen a jar lid.

^ Not just scanlators, but also company documents are getting it wrong now!

I'll soon be reaching 400 manga volumes, so the answer is definitely yes. I haven't, don't and won't pay for anything digitally though.

Dang, missed the lasst poll. Ah well.
Does paying for the library card count?

Generally though, once I discovered scanlations, I pretty much abandoned official translations for two reasons:

• No or nearly no honorifics and other "cultural adaptations" made by official translators. I much prefer not to miss out on those relationship clues and other things. Far better to have notes in, before or after the manga.
• The only mangas I can buy here are obviously translated into the local language from pre-existing English translations. It shows. Importing English ones is way too expensive for the quality I'd get for it.

I'm thinking about learning Japanese though. Actually read a whole volume of a manga in it with the help of a dictionary and a grammar, though it took me ages. Once I can actually read it more or less fluently I'm planning of buying the books in Japanese. Still, sadly that still leaves me being a leech in regards to Manhua and Manhwa.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." --James D. Nicoll

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! No! It's amazing some people opt to buy it even though they could get it for free online, but everyone has their quirks 🙄

-No longer do I quote great scholars, the famous, etc. Kids feigning wisdom ruined it.
--I wont type a post like a college report. If you don't read it just for that reason, you don't have to post why your hoity-toity ass refused to. I swear, so many people on this site are so full of themselves. A lot seem to think they always have an "intelligent and/or logical" point or show signs of a superiority complex. They never admit they're wrong. Maybe partially, but excuses abound! :\
-Stop mailing me about my comments. I don't read them.

jokes on you that a lot of people who work for crunchyroll come from scanlations

I have a whole bunch of physical manga volumes. Wouldn't pay for digital volumes though.
I usually stop reading scanlations once the series is being released in English or German, and buy the volumes instead (if it's a series I like).

I buy what I've already read and loved at the local comics store and online. I buy things to try at Half-Price books. It's discouraging to collect manga, however, when even a short series that you can read in a day can set you back $40-50. A 20-volume series is a major commitment.

I haven't bought any digital copies. The price is too high compared with the hard copy, and I don't like the idea that I can't just read them in my picture viewer.

As a yaoi fan, it's true that the really good stuff is overlooked in favor of the insipid with bad art. I've become interested in older manga, and that is also next to impossible to find in English editions. If I could hold in my hands a printed copy in English of Banana Bread Pudding or The Poe Family, I'd buy it in a minute.
