It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't translated up to vol 4 or 5 on here. If they release 1 volume a year like sex pistols we are looking at 2020 to find out what happens next. Sigh...
High volume sales encourage the license holder to negotiate contracts for successive volumes. If you want to speed up the availability of current and future volumes, buy licensed copies and encourage others to do the same. The more that are sold, the faster the "new" volumes become available. This also holds true for preventing a licensed manga from being dropped by the license holder.
I already buy licensed copies, did you see the part about sex pistols, doesn't seem to speed it up.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but "high volume" requires more than one. You not only have to buy it, but you also have to encourage as many others as possible to do the same. People whining about a law that has been around since 1710 (copyright), how unfair it is that they have to pay for something they should be paying for anyway, how broke they are, how they can't get a digital download shipped to their house, how long they'll have to wait to see the end... NONE of this encourages others to purchase a licensed copy of this manga. We have to be "licensed copy cheerleaders". Like this:
Everyone, look on the positive side of buying a licensed copy... your copy is LEGAL and can't be confiscated along with your computer, internet accounts and privileges, money and freedom. You are supporting a person who worked their ass off to entertain you. It's only $6-$8 per volume, a far cry from Amazon's $15-$19 or ebay's $20-$40. You have instant access to your manga and it looks just like, or better than, it does here. In some cases the censoring is removed and the translations are better. Granted, it will take a while before the first volume is available, but it's not like there are NO other manga to read, fill in your time with something else. Then go back and rediscover your love of Ten Count all over again.
If we "cheer" like this... those that can buy, will and those that "may not be able to", will try harder. The sales volume will increase and the next available chapter will show up for sale sooner. Easy peasy.
I think it is enough to be a Ten Count cheerleader. Let the publishers adapt to Internet facts and use it for marketing. Personally, I hate the changes in modern Intellectual Property laws which have happened mostly in the past 20 years, particularly with regards to how it treats digital works and non-profit copies. I am also a huge fan of libraries. I believe more readers means more profits, even if some people read for free.
Maybe i'm the only one, but i'm glad it got licensed. It'll probably take me a lot of time to buy all the serie but i think it's worth it, even if i have to order them from Uk or even USA. I really wanna buy the manga and support the author
