There's a lot of people I'm seeing saying they're buying the volume that I'm seeing, although almost all in English, not Japanese. I wonder if there's a reason this concept works better for us in the West lol
Probably because Japanese fans already bought their copies without being asked.
It's more likely that Japanese fans don't know about this series yet. A post by inee photographing the spread from Chapter 1 went viral on Japanese twitter earlier this month (75k likes!) and no one knew about the manga until that point. It looks like interest is slowly increasing in Japan while International fans are already making a difference!
Pretty much all of the major Japanese sellers are temporarily out of stock of physical volumes thanks to the influx of international fans purchasing - whether this is because the suppliers are trying to catch up with the sudden demand or because the actual stock is running out, we're not sure yet. So we encourage anyone who wants to support the series right now to buy a digital copy!
So many yuri series in Japan get axed early because publishers aren't willing to invest in promotion or advertising. With dozens of new manga volumes being released every day in Japan, it's often up to the authors/readers to market the stories they believe in. Let's keep up the momentum for LOVE BULLET!!
