Copy pasting from reddit cause I'm lazy.
You do directly the opposite of scanlation is supposed to be about. This guy is trying to make money on his product in competition to the publisher by advertising for patreons even. So he wants to make money on copyrighted material and make the owner lose money.
Scanlation should be about promoting and getting out stuff to people that otherwise wouldn't be available outside of Japan. Making money of scanlation, or just feeling entitled to being able to read something for free is not what scanlation should be about.
This is not even just immoral any more, it's completely illegal and can make the scanlator get sued. It's, like I said, a special kind of stupid.

Thanks for picking this up! Much appreciated 🙏🏻 I have a question though: Do you plan on doing other series too where the former translators left it? I would really love to keep on reading the Amagami manga.

Ps: Don't kill spiders. They're useful to keep other insects off your room. I always leave them in summer and get almost no mosquitos thanks to them.

I'm picking up Nagatoro-san as well, I haven't heard of that manga but I'll take a look at it.

People on that subreddit write long ass paragraphs idk how they find psychology in this shit
Tell me. I remember running into someone who genuinely liked this manga. I was like "cool, but I personally detest it. But different strokes for different folk". And they proceeded to go on like they were more intellectual for liking this manga, which was hilarious to watch.

Do they still split the chapter discussion threads between "serious" and not serious? Somehow the ones without bashing allowed were sadder XD

Dude, the manga's still unavailable in practically the entire planet. Even if K manga wants the money from anyone outside the US, there's no way to even give it to them. As for the patreon thing, I don't really know where to stand, but you have to keep in mind that translating, cleaning, typesetting and redrawing are also (a lot of) work. Then the discussion is whether that work deserves financial compensation, but keeping the patreon help optional makes that question an individual one. You don't want to pay? Don't. Whomever does want to can do so.

Don't argue with those people, last time I tried arguing with the guy there, he straight up started abusing me

People acting so starved for the chapter they'll lap up a shitty MTL that promotes their patreon. Kodansha struck down other series fan scans in the past when it had ongoing simulpubs.

Thank you for picking this dumpster fire of a manga, very cool and very brave.
Fuck you, Reiki tho! On my deathbed, I'll curse the hours wasted on this shitshow! I decline all responsibility — I have to look even if it breaks my sanity!

I was waiting for the dumbass to say " her defenseless anus" ala Shirou, but even in mind, Kazucuck can't commit to anything.

Thanks for bearing this curse, translator!

Should have met the guy here a while back. MASSIVE condescending jack*ss. Huffing his own farts believing he was the next coming of Christ.
