The giant has been killed apparently. OM is currently the largest scanlation library online and has just notified us that they will be shutting down due to pressure from US and Japanese publishers. here's the thing tho, the japanese publishers do not give us translated manga to buy, let alone release it to us anything close to the japanese release schedule, and when the US publishers get it they butcher it translation wise and 'americanize' it and we're way behind in the actual story. VIZ is months and in some cases years behind the japanese schedule for most everything they distribute here. scan groups get us manga within a week of the release in most cases. oh and the US publishers only have the most popular titles. not some of the smaller shorter manga from newer artists. i'm just ranting, but i'm pissed off and sad that this is happening. if they want money then they should make it available the way scanlators do. just make a site, charge a monthly membership, and have all the comics i could ever think to read. save some cash on publishing and give fans an even higher quality product.
thanks to anyone that's ever participated in a scanlation group. i've completed over 70 series since high school and WAS actively following around 15 now. i appreciate all of your hard and high quality work.
