Thanks for all you’ve done to help get word of the series out! Hopefully people look at this and go “hey I should support the official release” instead of getting upset that an official release deprives them of free mangaIn the meantime, Tsumiki has been licensed in English by Viz, with the first volumes/chapters releasing in summer 2025! We hope we've done at least a small part in bringing attention to a wonderful series.

We're planning to continue scanlating Tsumiki at least until the releases come out. We'll revisit the idea again once the official releases start rolling out and we see the details. We'll probably only drop the series if it becomes an official simulpub. But until then, hope y'all will put up with us.
As always is the intention, people need to remember that we're releasing someone else's work, and that all proceeds need to return back to the author, not us.Thanks for all you’ve done to help get word of the series out!

Well, the issue is not free manga. I don't care, if I like the series, I will support the series. What I and many others won't put up with is garbage sites and dogshit business plans.Hopefully people look at this and go “hey I should support the official release” instead of getting upset that an official release deprives them of free manga.
Aye, there's a man/woman of integrity. Scanlation was always supposed to be like that. Leave e-begging to specialized sites, focus on bringing quality series to the public. Monetising other people's work is what makes companies want to nuke you and everyone else just minding their own business.As always is the intention, people need to remember that we're releasing someone else's work, and that all proceeds need to return back to the author, not us.
Which is why I'll never add any form of monetization to any scanlation work I do, and will never support any scanlation group asking for direct financial support. Nobody should. Other than purchasing and providing raws, if push comes to shove.
Luckily, the business plan isn’t that bad here - due to being licensed by Viz, Tsukimi Ogami will probably appear on their Viz Manga subscription service. It’s a flat $2 per month, with the only caveat being that it’s only in regions Viz operates (United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland). But I’ve heard that even if you can download the app by using a VPN, you might still be able to access it in other countries.Well, the issue is not free manga.
