Mixed bag, yeah its cool the author will make money, but it's 7 Seas so an official might be a bad thing.Official release is always a great news for supporting the author but man, i'm gonna miss the comment section here
With Seven Seas putting out volumes instead of chapters not reallyGood news is with how little content is the official English should be caught up quickly.
The vast majority of official translations are far better than 90% of scanlations. Tons of past scanlators now even work in the business.Ugh, I detest this common trend of scanlators dropping a series simply because an official translation has been announced. The main reason I've turned to fan-made translations is that the overwhelming majority of official translations - not just for manga, but anime as well - are very prone to changing all sorts of stuff to be quite different from the source material - up to and including eliminating Japanese culture-specific elements, all in the name of "localization".
Seriously, why do you think so many people insisted on only reading Bleach fan translations instead of the official translation back in the day, even though the latter wasn't particularly behind in terms of releases?
