Illegally translated stuff on sns are really the one's to blame why we have authors on the throats of illegal readers and scanlators.
If these ppl just could keep it in their heads to keep things down low and avoid posting illegally translated pics for clout, this community will be a lot more in peace.
There used to be an unspoken etiquette for stuff like this. Sad to see that it's slowly disappearing.
I cant take the preview seriously for some reason. It looks so goofy that scene
Physical copy? I really like how the story evolved so I might buy it if it has one.
jpn version has a physical release! i believe it just got rerun again (or the mangaka is planning on another rerun of it, they mentioned it recently on twitter). unfortunately there’s no physical version for the official en release of vol 1/2 afaik
Oh only jp version :( Someday I hope there will be an en one.
Are you knowledgeable what factors makes jp mangas potential candidates for official en physical releases? Just really want to understand how it works.
only jpn, i fear </3 i’d kill for an EN one someday, especially because the official EN publisher hasn’t translated volumes 3 or 4 (hence the unofficial TL we’re getting now…) and i would love to have them.
unfortunately i’m not super knowledgable about the topic :( but based on my understanding & what i’ve seen of how things operate wrt publisher announcements i think it’s a good part fan demand and a good part pure luck. it also depends on the genre a lot i think (ex. how few GL get announced for volume releases when big publishers like Seven Seas do reveals), popularity…. again i’m not super knowledgeable but from what i know these factors are all involved. pittosporum has scored really high on a lot of fan manga rankings & has made it into a lot of bonus anthologies / themed BL events + there’s a decent handful of merch for it… so there’s always hope and a chance its JPN popularity will signal a desire for physical EN release…. but i’m not super expecting it anytime soon much as i’d love to see it as a big fan of this one. ╥﹏╥
Ohhhh thank you for the info! I'm new to buying physical copies of bls so I'm not really familiar with these things.
It makes sense now why there's bl rankings in twitter from official jp channels. Man... it's kinda sad that int. readers are at the mercy whether or not the manga we like will get popular. :((( like you I really wish this manga will get an en version in the future. It's such a good story to add to a BL collection
no prob! it’s not much, but i’m happy to provide whatever info i can. it really is so sad that intl readers are at the mercy of publishers the way we are though ╥﹏╥ i’m quite the GL enjoyer myself so it really hits doubly hard because they barely license any and it’s…. not ever really anything appealing. it’s so difficult. but here’s hoping for pittosporum one day!!! i have the jpn copies because i love the story so much i wanted a copy of it Somewhere & the 4-vol set was cheap to snag in jpn but i’d be over the moon to have EN copies. (i don’t buy physicals often because they get pricey,,, but i would absolutely be willing to support this. so maybe someday!!!)
Is chemistrying. It's so palpable from my phone screen. Very yummy, what a feast
And this is one of these times. We ain't even getting most of the story yet
Honestly, what is up with these ratings lately (from what I've noticed). Decent or good stories get bad ratings, and not-so-great stories get better ratings.
Sadly this is how it has been working for some time now. It's a 50/50 gamble if you want to trust the ratings. Sometimes I feel like if the characters are not immediately doing something interesting or freaky deaky many folks downvote the story. Like bros, let the author cook smh
A black sheep" Brother in christ, you are the black sheep in your family. take some time to look at the mirror please
That the author is doing each chapter. Like, their lil paradise might look idyllic but you know something's amiss deep down but just can't figure it out. I just hope the reveal will not be anticlimactic because the curiosity is killing me.
Also, that one panel of the love interest kissing the mc with such an soft look on his face is melting me.
Starting the side stories with the love interest getting hurt I'm scared, but I put my trust in the author to make things okay since they're quite skilled in their craft.
