I got curious this chapter, and I'm probably stupid for wondering, but still. The people of the forest (I can't remember if they are literally called/referred to as that or if I'm being simplistic in my description, anyway) are primarily of darker skin tones, certainly darker than the Japanese...

I might look into something like that. Also, and bear with me for a moment, as a completely random side, is "Manwha" really a genre? Manwha is what the Koreans call their "graphic" novels (comic books). That would be the same as saying that the entirety of "graphic novels" (comic books) are a...

Ah. I should have been able to figure that out. I used to have a text document that listed what I was reading. At some point I forgot about it. Now I have literal thousands of things I am either actively reading, was previously actively reading (but hasn't been updated in some time), or have...

Bear with me for a second. I'm going to use an argument that runs directly counter to a number of arguments I have made recently, but you are worth it.. We, as readers, are entitled to literally nothing. We are graciously given free content by people who (usually) put a great deal of effort and...

Two things then: given what you have said, how do you feel about multiple translation groups translating the same manga at the same time (especially if both are translating purely because they are fans of that specific series)? Is one of the group's efforts a waste simply because they are...

True, but I don't think the issue with the butchering of the content is solely one that the Mangaka (or Author in the case of adaptations) are affected by. While I might have phrased it as the Mangaka doing the acceptance, I more meant the Japanese publisher who gives out said rights. 'sides, if...

I agree that it's bad to tie tracking to one site or resource. I had assumed that Mangadex would have an "export" feature since it had an "import" feature. Maybe it did before the massive event that forced a complete rewrite of its code? Forgive my ignorance, what is MAL?

I full heartedly agree with you on the streaming issue. Unfortunately most things are going that way, and, unless you are "allowed" to "download" the digital "asset" in an unrestricted and unmodifiable way, you absolutely don't own it. As a reminder/example, people purchased videos from Sony (on...

Absolutely, but the original creator also doesn't get anything (financially, I recognize that it opens a market, but the problem is the horrendous censorship "official" English publishers are doing). If they officially endorsed a "fan" translator in the sense of using their translations for the...

To your "edit": you are certainly forgiven. I don't know how many Manga you are reading consecutively (I would say it is the number under "reading" under "follows" but from experience that number isn't valid for "actively reading" since it includes manga not updated in [insert number of...

Also, on another note, hence the response to my own post... If the Japanese Mangaka and original Authors are getting tired of the western "bullshitery", and that isn't much of a big if, then they might start looking into contacting the (often clearly better) fan translation groups. If they can...

I agree with everything... Except for the middle paragraph. Unless your "olden days" was back when Anime and Manga were so niche that it was effectively "adult content" when brought over to the west, then I hate to remind you: Tenchi Mayo, Cardcaptor Sakura (a.k.a. Cardcaptors), Sailor Moon...

We'll just have to wait and see what the manga does. Also I don't remember the "Early heroes were blessed by God" part. Absolutely does not mean it didn't happen, I have a clinically bad memory, but if you could cite the chapter it was mentioned in I would be curious to reread it.

I understand your perspective, and it is an entirely valid perspective. Unfortunately, regardless of how valid it is, it won't fly for those who don't use websites other than Mangadex. For me, the only time I use other sites is when there is a gap in chapters that is significantly old, old...

You basically said what I wanted to, but better. Thank you. (No sarcasm, if it reads that way, it's 1:46 AM here so my mind is not completely there/here...)

I would agree with "half god" except for two (three) things: the alchemist already stated that this world was abandoned by "god"; and if "god" was still around (so the humans could get the "samples" required) the humans would likely have already been punished for making a "half god" anything; if...

I support @Eestri decision to not start from the last chapter another group translated, but chose not to upload here (yet anyway). There is absolutely no reasonable way to expect people who explicitly come here to explicitly read manga here to have to go elsewhere to read chapters prior to those...

Is it just me or was Nagatoro acting "differently" this chapter. I don't want to say "too feminine," as that would be unfair. Too passive? Don't get me wrong, I am ecstatic that they finally kissed... I just... don't want next chapter to be him waking up because "it was a dream..."

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the sword hero the one who basically treated everything like a video game from the beginning? I vaguely remember all of them effectively did this, but one of the other three heroes used game terminology almost exclusively for everything he did and everyone...

Yes, I am a native English speaker, and last I checked "Show them your true colors" is not synonymous with "bend them over a desk if he actually tried." Yes, they clearly acknowledged that he could"do something against them," ergo "Show them your true colors," no they don't "openly acknowledge...
