    Yancha Gal no Anjou-san - Vol. 14 Ch. 175 - Flight Response Scramble

    Also, branding can be functionally a type of monopoly in effect. JK Rowling can wipe a wiki article with her ass and make millions even if it's a sloppy, unedited, trite piece of offal. Apple might not be the only smartphone out there, but their walled garden makes leaving painful enough to...

    Sigh. When it comes to market costs for localization, market size is a huge part of what drives costs. The same work that localizes in JP/EN for 900ish will cost 4-500% more in Germany because of the size of the market and the RoI. There's a MUCH more rabid and competitive market for high...

    Having seen the wages paid to actual JP translators in the market, there IS an argument to be made about pay more get more. In capitalism, you'll only have competing market pressures when the size of the market goes past a certain point. In niche markets your margins are so thin, you basically...

    Manga is a NICHE market for most consumers on the planet, unless a series goes big (think MHA) the margins are incredibly small. Pokemon is a HUGE international gaming franchise by one of the world's top publishers. I can't even begin to tell you how embarrassing it is to compare those two...

    You're comparing Manga/Anime publishing to...Pokemon? That's a take, lol. It's not capitalism "bashing" to point out market pressures and forces. Ignoring those makes consumers seem naive at best, pitifully ignorant at worst.

    Also, bad translations = capitalism my dudes. No company in the history of ever puts quality before $$$. If an outsourcer promises to deliver mid quality cheaper, then that's who many publishers use...especially in nascent or developing markets where there isn't a huge ROI. The creative...

    I'll still buy official english because I think the author deserves to get paid, but man I wish we could cut out the middleman

    Webtoon Character Na Kang Lim - Ch. 172 - Everyone Together!!!!!!!

    I thought the harem ending was the only one that actually made sense given the running theme of the work...but it's also hard to say goodbye because each of them were so well developed and interesting. I would have loved a few character heavy transitional chapters that shows their life in the...

    Ore no Kurasu ni Wakagaetta Moto Yome ga Iru - Vol. 1 Ch. 2

    It's a really cute novel. Their mutual denial is fun...and there IS a reason for their anger, but it's totally misplaced.
