Thanks for the chapter, @CrazySlowScans.
I'm pretty sure an author approving fan translation is him being okay with overseas fans reading his stuff, not him thinking West Egg are "The Chosen Ones!" who are the only ones fit to carry his will outside japan. He'd be fine with a bilingual raccoon doing it.
@Xunder @Rotoscopic "Snipes" like this exclusively happen when chapters stay unreleased for a long time. It's fine to be frustrated, but don't act like this was out of hand. This is the only market that favors monopoly, when competition is what benefits the reader the most.
You sat on a popular manga for weeks, leaving an open spot that anyone could and would want to take.
This "You Got a Permit For That Translation, Mate?" crap can get shoved in a cold, dark and very gentle place for all I care.
