Wait I’m confused
What’s going on?
Your discontinueing the translations, and there’s like some trouble with other langue translations or something?
Is this now, or earlier in the year. This is a old chapter, which makes me think that this was just sitting in someone’s files somewhere or something.

The current translators will stop working on this since Viz is doing simulpub, which is only available in US and Canada. So VPN may be the only current solution. Also thanks to Church of Potteto

Basically the chapter will drop translated on Viz the same day it releases officially in Japan like how people watch anime weekly on Crunchyroll

Viz will be releasing official translated chapters at the same general time as the release in Japan.

That's the intent. Make it easy to read once, then hard to ever again.
"Download our app, install our service, and hope you don't lose your access otherwise you have to pay for it all over again."
"Why buy something when you can pay for it endlessly? After all it's only $X.XX a month, so cheap, less than a single volume for full access to every manga we publish, what are you complaining about?"
"Oops, we lost the license, guess you have to find it again on whatever new publisher bought the rights, if any do."
If you are paying money for anything but hard copies, you are a sucker.

It’s the same concept as Netflix. You can definitely still buy movies, but if you want a budget version that lets you read more, albeit without keeping your copies, there’s that.
It does have specific links, but I dunno if they’re as easy to set up as Azuki or M+.
The new chapters are free to read...
not for anyone outside the us

Guess I won't read any new Komi for the next 2 years then until the German releases have caught up. Guess I won't get the new name jokes since there are no TLN in the official release.
No spoilers pls anglosphere, stay away from international platforms that have bad spoiler abilities to discuss stuff pls. Guess no more /a/ or /c/ for me.

Yes. That is the problem that I pointed out. How long do you think it will be before physical releases stop or print runs become so short that they are impossible to get?
I don't like the trend of "well it's on a streaming/reading/etc app, so that's the same thing". How many people have to say "I literally can't use this because it's not available in my country" because of arbitrary licensing deals before it clicks? Books can be shipped worldwide, if somebody would try and say "well we haven't licensed that edition for your region, you have to buy the [country] specific edition and there's not enough people in your country to matter so we won't release one," normal people would think they're crazy. But for some reason people just go whelp that's the way it is for anything electronic.
Anyways this is all "Old man yells at clouds" now and off the topic of thanking the Church of Potteto for the work they did despite their short term. Buy books, not temporary reading rights, yadda yadda yadda.
