Net Comics (The publishers) have recently started releasing volumes online.
It costs money.
Would you consider buying licensed manga online from publishers?
Personally I'm upset because the last volume of 100% Perfect Girl (Volume 11) I'm pretty sure is only being released online. Now I have 1-10 and I am pissed about having an incomplete series... just off by one.
I think that buying licensed manga and being able to have the book in my hand is my right. If I wanted to just read everything online I could do it for free. Sure the manga-ka gets money from it but what do I get out of it? Nothing. 🙄

Err... nothing? I'm pretty sure you get to READ the manga. "Legally". 😉
There are publishers who publish hard copies of books as well as digital copies of them. Regardless of how you read the manga/book/story, I'm pretty sure the mangaka/writers/creators didn't write it for free. Someone is feeding his family selling books, you know? (Unless you're talking about fanfictions on the internet.)
I don't know how Net Comics price their products, but I'm assuming the digital copy is cheaper.
