Forum › Has Lezhin Fixed Its Issues Regarding Author Compensation and Treatment?

joined Jul 20, 2016

As some of you may know, there was recently a boycott against Lezhin regarding the way that it treated its authors, including flat out not paying them their share of the proceeds from the purchase of their comics. I participated in that, and haven't used Lezhin in months.

However.

I've noticed that many big names in the non-JP yuri scene (Sungwon, Ratana Satis) have continued to publish their series on Lezhin (Elixir and Lily Love, respectively), as have other artists like Lee Eul (Blooming Sequence), Choonae (Dallae), and the Kang Unnie/MissPM pair (Moonlight Garden). We've even seen the introduction of a new series, Girl in the Birdcage, by Koer.

...to say that I'm hungry for more yuri and that I really, really want to get back to reading comics on Lezhin would be an understatement. But, at the same time, I don't want to go back to purchasing coins and buying comics on Lezhin if they continue to mistreat their authors, and this latter concern far overrides my former concern.

That being said: Does anyone know the current status of the Lezhin boycott and its negotiations/treatment of its authors?
