It's not about Emma having a bad translation though...I don't care, I'm not going to be buying it anyway! I'm just mad that it's not as popular as the bigger ALREADY LICENSED titles such as Bleach and Naruto, because those two are still being ILLEGALLY scanlated whereas only one group did Emma and now that everything about Emma got licensed, there will be no more scanlations!

I'm a fucking media pirate, I don't want to pay for anything I don't have to. I only buy music CDs when I really like an album (which is very rare) and I only buy a manga when I really love the story, and I'll only buy Japanese because hey, I already have the translations, why buy an edit of the originals (which is what anything other than the Japanese version is!). Also, buying Japanese is cheaper cause you're not paying for translators or editors or cleaners or typesetters, all of whom jack up the price by 50%! This is compounded on top of my general distaste for the editing jobs done on most American manga. And that is why I don't buy in English. :)

P.S. Yeah, VIZ is a terrible censorship offender and is #1 on my list to avoidavoidAVOID.

Aaah, you're cheap. That makes everything clearer.

Your best bet is to learn Japanese.

I'm not cheap. And I'm not frugal. I just choose to spend my money on other things I can't for free on the internet. :)

er *things I can't GET for free on the internet, rather. It's called being logical? I mean, yeah, when I like a story, of course I want to support the artist. I do not, however, want to support the American manga publishing industry. Buying Japanese is how I show my support, and hey, it just so happens that even with import taxes it's still cheaper than the English versions. :D So I'll continue to buy TWO Japanese volumes for the price of ONE English volume, and either translate it myself, or simply use the scanlations I've downloaded for free online. :D
