I don't how how the manga industry works but most mangaka always encourage people to buy their books. So all I'm saying is having a hard copy would be nice but if fan translation gets taken down, then that would be outside of my worries nor the author's. That might sound selfish or whatever, but that's just how it is. I would still want this to be licensed.
No I was saying that ordinarily it is taken down because the series in question are to be purchased before read and therefore it is proper to buy them in English (tankobon, magazine, etc.) but this is a web series release that even Japanese speakers read for free.
*native Japanese speakers say, purchase bloom into you’s magazine version to read it while dynasty posts free scans, but that isn’t what is happening with this series. The Japanese is free for all.
Well, who knows whether they're gonna take it down or not. I have Akuma no Riddle(1-3) and Kiss and White Lily(vol 1-5) but they're still here. :)
My only point is, it's great when series are getting licensed since it only means that the artist's work is getting recognize outside Japan and will have bigger audience and I think any artist would love that. I also read somewhere that some artists complain about their work being translated into English without permission(even tho it's free to read in their country, they still don't want it to be translated) but that can't be helped. And people like us love to appreciate good works from them. Also, artist of Palely and Witch made an open letter before saying how fan translation is affecting the profit of their work and that's why they're against it so that is the reason why dynasty takes down some licensed manga(which most of us already know).
So IF ever this one get licensed, whether they decide to take it down here or not(would be great if not), is none of our concern. All we have to do is purchase it, if we can't, then just move on. That's just how it is.
