This. This right here. I used to buy so much manga in high school. Like almost $2000 worth of "so much".
Then I moved to college, bouncing back and forth between small apartments over the past four years, and I practically had to give my collection away. I kept maybe like 2 or 3 really short series and Rurouni Kenshin (which is still at my mom's house).
Not to mention that I used to live in Hawaii so having physical books was a lot more risky with the humidity and book worms and stuff. Also there was a Japanese store in the big mall downtown that sold untranslated manga anywhere between $1-$5 dollars. That shit was cheap and more compact
So yeah, definitely want to support the makers but not any other of the bullshit that gets packaged in.
