THANK YOU FOR READING THIS CHAPTER! 😁

- These chapters mark the end of Volume 2. We’ll be bringing more chapters soon—sorry for the long delay.
(Just to clarify, these chapters weren’t behind any paywalls or anything like that. We simply forgot to work on them, and no one asked about them again.
If any other group or person wants to work exclusively on this manga, feel free to contact me on Discord. Even if you have no experience, we’ll teach you. Once we find staff for this manga, I’ll delete this message.)

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see this one get a chapter dump. Easily one of my favorites that I always wanna see more of.

Just that GDS-style dump (and response that was apparently edited) out once someone else just so happens to upload a chapter is... Well, I'm sure sure you've seen the responses any time it happens.

Isn't that the reason why rules were changed? To prevent this kind of bullshit?
It's genuine question, MD staff. Would you be so kind to clarify this to me?

Allowing groups like GDS, Platinum Crown, KDT, StoneScape and many others, use this website as a platform to advertise their practices of blocking chapters behind paywall or releasing newest chapters only if suitable donation is made towards given title...
I will NEVER understand why you're blind to all of that. No wonder MD was a target for that massive DMCA strike.

This, "as expected," is low-key grating.

"There's somewhere I want to go."
And a special girl to meet.

Clark Kenting is not so effective against careful consideration.

They already had it all translated, just locked behind a Patreon paywall. Groups like KDT and GDS are who we have to thank for the purge...

Hahaha, I wish I had translated this entire manga already. I simply forgot to work on it since no one asked about it. A little research before talking won’t hurt you, you know? If you want, go complain to some MangaDex admin saying I had this manga behind a paywall—you’ll only make yourself look bad.

The vicious cycle of manga translated by KDT:
  1. Cool series gets introduced
  2. Five chapters drop at once
  3. "Read the next chapter on our website!"
  4. The next chapter on the website says "Read the next chapter on our Patreon!"
  5. MD entry goes radio silent for months
  6. GOTO: 2

Half of the big TL groups here.
MD does nothing about this.
DMCA strikes MD.
MD introduce new rules.
Groups don't give a shit.

It definitely looks that way when you consistently chapter dump after someone else's (justified) snipe on a series you're translating, GDS pulls the same shit but actually has it all locked behind a paywall so I just assumed it was the same situation considering the "read the next chapter on our website" tagline on most chapters you upload.

Although that manga was already completed and available for free on our website, I'm waiting the 30 days to do the final update with the last 5 chapters on MangaDex. So, this Saturday or Sunday the final update of that manga is coming.

Yes, I understand you, and at the beginning it’s true — my “paywall” methodology was the following:

Let’s say I found a manga with 10 chapters that hasn’t been translated yet. I would translate the first 5 chapters and upload them to MangaDex. Then, chapters 6 and 7 would be released for free on our website, and finally, chapters 8, 9, and 10 would go behind a paywall. That was how I used to work before.

However, due to what happened with MangaDex, I’m currently keeping the same amount of free chapters both on my website and on MangaDex.

And of course, for mangas like this one — for example, we’re already working up to chapter 26, which is the latest raw — I can’t place it behind a paywall because we didn’t start this manga from chapter 0. There are just a few chapters (based on the workflow I mentioned earlier).

This manga was picked by another staff member, and also because it’s not ecchi. Usually, the mangas I personally choose to work on that are ecchi and have a lot of chapters are the ones that commonly go behind the paywall. Romcoms, we usually don’t place behind paywalls — there are exceptions, but meh, I prefer to mainly place ecchi titles behind the paywall.
