"Some changes suck, but you have to deal with it."

No, no I don't have to.

"What will not buying the manga do? You're not helping Arakawa at all."

I refuse to support a company that edits manga so they can make more money. But then, I have the luxury of buying the Japanese originals while reading the English translations for free online, so I am still able to support my favourite authors, without paying anything to the American publishing companies. Yay! :)

*phew*
Well, I am reaaaaalllly glad that some people are not just going back to the scans and instead are actually buying the Japanese volumes. ♥

I think my main point is that hundreds of small, necessary changes (often changed to help understanding) get made and no one pays any attention to them, but then one that is a bit more obvious gets changed and half the fandom throws a hissfity. It bugs me that because people notice ONE panel on ONE page in ONE volume turns people away from an entire company.

Sorry, businesses need money to stay alive. They need money to bring more manga to the states. I don't like the change, but I understand why it was made, so I can accept it.
