    You mean by donations? lately hard copy was not popular these days (only my opinion), I even want to have a local versions of the manga I liked but.. I don't like reading it again.

    Actuall authors, not the translators. I don't have the way to donate to authors so I just buy their works.

    Oh, but I saw some Translators that had a link directed to the Authors... It says that you can donate to the author too.

    I don't really believe those. Chances are those being scams... I'll purchase from a believable source.

    What a farce.. Now I'm suspicious with those direct links now... Are your sources not that late in the latest or something?

    Most of it is behind the current fan translations, but I bought those to support the authors.

    Yeah, with my bank card and they ship it to me.

    Well, most of my local stores don't really sell things that I read. They sell mostly Shoujo for some reason...

    ... as expected.. too bad. I had never tried ordering some books that were shipped before. I read that they ask you to pay shipment fees right? are you buying it in bulk then?

    Used to buy in bulk but now since I already have the latest volume, I'm buying volume by volume.

    It's not really that expensive, it's within my capabilities. Well for example, I buy a volume of manga A as well as manga B and C. Usually, I at least buy 3 different manga.

    Nah, there's nothing wrong in asking me. I encourage you to support the authors if you are able to do. And you're welcome. Feel free to ask me anything!

    Nah, I'm not a good guy.

    And yeah, I'm fine with you asking me any questions but of course, I'm not omniscient, so if I don't know something then there's nothing I can do about that.

    Don't worry I'll only be asking some good recommendations and stuff.. pretty basic that a reader like you should know.
