Are you a pleb if you buy localized manga?

Are you a pleb if you buy localized manga?

Yes.

no, it's supporting the creator. You wouldn't be here if they were never localized in the first place.

>localized manga
>supporting the creator
Thanks for the laugh.

yes you’re buying the western version.

Yes you support the creator but not as much as you want

No, because despite what all the poor people on Zig Forums want to trick themselves into believing, buying translated manga does in fact support the creator and it means you can actually read it even if you can't speak Japanese.

The amount of support you're giving the creator of a manga by purchasing a localized volume is so insignificant as to not even matter.

Yea, git gud and learn nip so you can properly support the mangaka

dont care, i dont read moonrunes also the autor get paid.

True, but well at least its something I guess

why not just buy the original if you want to jump through hoops about "supporting the creator"
>localizations
money goes to localizer/license owner
get someone elses bastardization of the actual text
>originals
doing as much as anyone else to help the mangaka
actually get to read what he wrote

>HUHHH?? YOU’RE DOING X?? MY ARBITRARY MEASUREMENTS TELL ME THAT YOU’RE NOT DOING ENOUGH X FOR ME TO RECOGNIZE IT AS X AND THEREFORE YOU’RE NOT DOING X AT ALL!!!

I buy other shit besides manga, and I buy Japanese volumes despite not being able to read it.
>"supporting the creator"
you right, it's shit
probably spent more on figures from japan than western manga.

Look pirate all you want but you know this is bullshit.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I import manga that I like.

>buying the original
money goes to the bookstore/publisher

Source ?

if I really like the manga, I import it just to display on my shelf since they're dirt cheap.

That's fine too. I'm not going to defend moralfags who say they're superior by purchasing localizations or galaxy brains who say pirating is true support, but money is money and definitely gets to the creator.

Just because you can't afford to buy manga doesn't mean you should go spreading lies user.

>Are you a pleb if you buy
yeah

There are people on Zig Forums who can't read Japanese?
HOly pleb batman

e.g. if you can't read japanese you are a plebfag。

Its just the best way to experience the manga, regardless of how much it supports the creator compared to the original tankobons. Its vastly superior to any digital release and, unless you know japanese, it's the best you can get.

Publishers are also paying a license fee. It trickles down, just not directly.

I bet most people on Zig Forums studied bullshit like STEM instead of studying Japanese full time so they can read manga

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with buying localized manga. I think it's important to be realistic about how much support you're actually showing the authors if that's something you care about. I also think it's important to consider that localization company your supporting. Lots of the big localization companies don't exactly have the best track record of respecting the source material. Viz for example not only has a history of censoring releasing, but lying about that censoring.

>Are you a pleb if you buy localized manga?
No, according to my local research done in my appartment it makes you at least 200% less pleb.

I've always been the type of person who prefers to have a real book in my hand, so I got a not small collection.
