For me I would say no in most cases, but if I never have to worry about my favorite Mangas being delayed or dropped by translators, I would pay a monthly fee for guaranteed and high quality releases. I have a okay job with so so income, so the idea of paying money for Manga doesn't turn me away like it did when I was younger. I feel that way even for paying for translated Novels and Anime. If it just $10-40 a month I wouldn't bat a eye long as the selection is good. That's just a day or two of work for part time job after school for minimal wage in my country to earn $40, but what do you think? Is it worth it and would you do it?
Depending on the Manga and the quality of the translation. If the quality is bad, I probably won't, seeing that its simply not worth it. If its like only MTL (it still depends though), as it sometimes does not deliver the flow of the story and all that. More or less, if its in the quality that even I could translate, I would rather not pay. And of course, if its a favourite of mine and has no chance of being taken by other translators then why not? Seeing as I'm a student (who has a lot of hobbies) though, I doubt I'll be able to pay huge amounts every month.
If it's exclusive manga mean that story only available in manga not in any other form maybe yes, but if it just manga drawed based on ln i say big no, because until now there's no manga adapted from ln that better than it's ln version
If I had to pay that for a translation, I'd only pay for checked through printed and covered versions. Paying that much? What am I? A fountain? Do I seem like I have money to spare? 10-40 for a month? If the translation isn't at least 1 chapter per day for 10 and 3 per day for 40, I wouldn't want to even have it mentioned near me. It'd be a loss! A whole book that I'd be willing to purchase is 300+ pages, costs the same, and in the end I get to keep it. I'd love to see at least that much done for that price.
Depends if they actually want to listen to the community. If not, I'll be as kind as to put adblock off as thanks.
Depend on the manga. If the translated version is not available in my country and I really really love the manga, I don't mind pay for it, but if it's available in the bookstore, I like to waiting for it.
Oh I thought the title meant who buys manga books offline (which I def do) but I don't think I would pay for online translations.
I would gladly if things aren't locked behind shitty drm and was just on one place. At the moment different companies are licensing different series and I don't want to have x accounts and y subscriptions just so that I can follow the licensed manga I want to read. Might as well just buy physical copies of the manga then, but the problem with that is that I don't have too much space for bookshelves full of manga.
Already own a bit of translated manga. Don't feel it's worth it. Better to just give money to people that translate it.
i'd rather read the raw (although i won't understand whats written, but just read the pictures) rather then pay, but if they gets paid if i unblock adblock, i'd do that as well, unless they got thousands of ads on their site.
Only if there were daily releases, if you want to get paid like its a job you gotta put in work like its a job.
I used to go to the local library to read manga. Wouldn't pay for it to be translated online though ~ I don't mind just looking at the pictures in the raws ^w^
i pay for manga from time to time when i buy them already translated (official translation) but since im mostly broke it doesnt happen much the feeling of a paper book instead of reading on the computer is better in my opinion
Now I believe @Judgecutioner that pirates are such a glorious job.. I see it... how come I never realized it..
It's not particularly a bad thing. I always wanted to support the authors. In fact, I'm still doing so to support them.
