manga is dead

no.
manga is going digital.
the manga market actually grew.

Who cares

Interesting.

Do we look like businessmen to actually care about this shit?

>not having stocks in the japanese paper industry

>paying for digital manga

>millenial americans
>paying for anything

They make things easier for us.

The manga market hasn't grown for 10 years, user, and you're saying a net increase in sales is bad? Fuck your bad vibes

Literally nobody cares.

at least 11 care enough to post

>paying for digital manga

I'm still pissed that they could not be bothered to release a print version of Kakegurui.

I might even be satisfied with a limited Print-on-demand run.

It's more convenient, cost effective and environmentally friendly.

I wonder: Is there another country that still produces a vast amount of entertainment print-media?

I do. Someone has to rip those scans.

Thank goodness there's more than just Americans in this world, then.

it's something

>Weighing Energy costs of a book vs. ebook.
This sounds like a hard problem.

But books can probably achieve a pretty low lifetime cost. Unless you factor in transport costs.

But the required tech-level is way lower for books.

It seems the upper spots are counting re-editions too.

They actually will be doing that.

Releasing a print edition?

On that note: Couldn't they just have made Vol1 available for Preorder in English on Amazon (on an unspecified future date) and judge the response?

I'd throw money at my screen to have a website that has every single translated mango out there.

And uncensored. Don't forget that.

Does this includes h-doujins?

Yes, they recently announced they'll be printing it, thank the anime.

Ah. Yes the Anime.

(Anyone else pissed that they don't allow to buy ebook volumes on a preorder basis and get updates to the book directly as they translate chapters)

Not surprising considering China is the biggest market for all literature.

Note that amount of published books seems not to be in correlation with actual reading time (of various media).

That wiki list count only books published traditionally and not ones that use the digital format, which is popular in the East, especially in mobile format for reading when using the public transportation.

It also explain why for Japanese and Korean authors, its their number one foreign market
