Although the art needs work, I applaud the effort especially since it's a comic. Those are a bitch to make. This has potential. I mean, you have to start somewhere in art, right? Can't be good without practice. My critique though is to keep the quality consistent throughout the chapter and incoming chapters. It looked as though the majority was rushed through. Only closeups had the most detail. If there is no time limit, it doesn't hurt to adjust some panels.
I noticed that people have been downvoting comments an account, which claims to be a Lezhin representative, made. We should be treating this seriously, guys. I don't know what will happen if chapters from the Lezhin webcomics continue to be uploaded on here. If they want them taken down, we should take them down. I don't want to Mangago to be shut down or anything because of copyright issues. If you have already read up to the latest chapters, then by all means, do what I had outlined in my PSA. You can also get 10 free coins by downloading the Lezhin PLUS app.
What are you opinions about what's been going?
I honestly think ppl uploading stolen official translations are really low.
1.They totally disrespect the authors stealing possibility of income from them.
2.Right now the international copyrights enforcment may be not so effective, but the more they do it the more ppl will really get interested and investing in restricting internet freedoms....
So they stiupid and unfair behavior is only making the people wanting to regulate interne have more support and arguments.... but I guess they are to greeady and stupid to stop anyway so propablly one day they will still from somone who will get them for it ...
I apologize in advance for being a grammar Nazi but this one made me wince:
So their stupid and unfair behavior will only make the people wanting to regulate the internet have more support and arguments...but I guess they are too greedy and stupid to stop anyway, so probably one day they will steal from someone who will get them for it
Is how I believe you intended it. English is not the easiest language to learn (even for those of us who are native speakers). Keep trying :)
YOU GUYS, PLEASE READ THIS. I know it's long, but bear with me.
I am copying this message from another Lezhin comic that was uploaded on here because I want to spread this method around.
Think about this: this particular artist is updating weekly to bring in content to the readers. Imagine receiving very little money per chapter despite busting your ass off each week. It would demotivate you a lot. Trust me, I know, as I am an artist myself. The artist doesn't know about us, their fans on Mangago, liking their work because most of us don't pay for it. So, support the artist by actually making an account on Lezhin. Even for non-paying readers, there IS a way for you to show support even if it's minimal. And I'll tell you how.
1. Obviously, first step is to go the English version of Lezhin Comics and create an account.
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the home page, and you'll see this:
https://gyazo.com/b0250c0c39bd1dc224ec9c8dfe8baad1.
Under "Change Language/Country," select Korean. You will be redirected to the Korean version of Lezhin Comics. No need to worry. You don't need to understand ANYTHING to do this.
3. Okay, so basically, just log on to the KOREAN VERSION every day to receive coins, which are used to pay for the chapters, and points, which decrease the amount of money you need to spend on the coin bundles. You'll see a map like this:
https://gyazo.com/06ed4ddd3731e8aa0798cd88b3cb9b61. After receiving your coins or points, you can go back to the English site and go to your gift box.
This month, you can get a total of 750 points and 7 coins! You do have to login in every day, which shouldn't be a problem unless you forget. 7 coins = 2 chapters. I know it's little, but those coins mean a lot to these artists who publish their work on Lezhin.
NOW is the time to show support. Start creating your accounts to log in and spend your coins on this artist's work. Read their work weekly. Show them that their work is awesome and that you love it a lot. That's all I want to say. Thanks for reading this if you did.
Does it mean that we will not need to buy coins anymore if we just log in on the KOrean version of Lezhin everyday? I also really want to support the artist but I am still a student and I don't have the means to buy the coins especially that they're in dollars. =(( So if there is anyway to help aside from buying coins, I will really do so because this artist is really awesome for creating a wonderful story!
Yeah, this is alternative. It will take awhile to collect the coins, but it will add up. You can still read the webcomic on here, but make sure to let the artist know that people like their work by spending your free coins on it.
Sorry, first hyperlink isn't supposed to have the period at the end.

do you know if you lose our points if we switch back to the english version the same day?
You don't lose points. Your account is connected to both, just that the language has changed. You need to login a certain number of days to earn your points and coins. Once you receive them, you can either go on the Korean or English version to accept your points and/or coins. I suggested English to make it easier to navigate.
okay thank you
I didn't want to read it but now I will. Normally I don't read shounen ai I prefer yaoi (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Thank you!. I'm gonna do this!.
I tried it today, it didn't work. Maybe it's because I'm using the site and logging onto it on a mobile device. Am I right? I dunno. But maybe I can try again tomorrow?
I have never tried logging on to the site on mobile before, but are you able to do it on a computer? You could also try downloading the Lezhin PLUS app on Android for a free 10 coins. I got stamped before for logging in through just the app.
I don't have an Android device...yet and I doubt my dad will let me use the computer. But I'll give it a shot first thing tomorrow ^^
Okay I tried it out again and it worked! Thanks so much! Turns out I was still on private tabs XD
That's good to hear! I'm glad things worked out.
YOU GUYS, PLEASE READ THIS. I know it's long, but bear with me.
Okay, so I know all of you guys appreciate the artist's work, and I do too. But also show your appreciation in more open ways. Even though the webcomic should be taken down since Lezhin has a strict policy about redistribution, my message here isn't to do so. Otherwise, I would be a hypocrite.

Note that all of the recent chapters of Blood Bank have been released on here already. NOW is the time to show support.

Thanks for reading this if you did.
Sorry, first link had the unnecessary period added to the hyperlink. https://gyazo.com/b0250c0c39bd1dc224ec9c8dfe8baad1
Last thing I want to add is that you can wait until holidays to buy coin bundles because that is when they have coin sales!
Thanks so much!
Everyone yelling about supporting the artist but no one provided a link (at least not that I saw), I can personally afford the coins and am currently purchasing all 41 chapters I've read as support thanks to the link you left, it's so kind of you to help those unable to pay with a card!
Wow, that is awesome! I'm sure the artist will be very happy with your contribution! As for me, it's been a works in progress. I'm mostly saving my coins for another webcomic, so I've been buying the chapters when I can. But yeah, I know there are people who read the webcomic on here who feel really bad that they can't do anything. I discovered this method when I was just browsing through the Korean site, and noticed that there was a prize map. I just wanted to share what I did to others, so that both readers and the artists would be happy.
Not working for me (Ｔ＿Ｔ) the page is just blank I also want to support the artist same with never understand
LOL I got it (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ Thank you for telling us!!
Like entirely-white-page blank? Or...? Is it this specific link? Because if it is, you can simply go on http://www.lezhin.com/en and scroll all the way to the bottom after making an account. You can then change the language to Korean.
You're welcome. :D
This can also be used to support the creator of "Never Understand" which is on Lezhin, too, right? If so, you should copy this message over to that page for those readers, too. And, thank you so much for the information and way to support them!
This is just painfully romantic . Its painful but romantic im confused ? Im going crazy reading this. Its soo good
Wow nice. I really want to support the artist but I also hv less pocket money but I try my best to even buy a few chapters even a little.
I want to ask a few things, first if we log in the site everyday we will receive points right? So how to get coins? I think we need to buy coins but what is the use of the points that we have, is it only to get a discount when purchasing coins?
Sorry I'm just confuse on how to navigate that site but thank you!
Every time you log in, you get stamped. There's a certain number of times that you have to log in in order to get points or coins. And you are correct, the points are absolutely useless for non-paying readers because it only enables you to pay less for the coins themselves.
I see....thank you so much! I bought coins bundles a few times already through android app but I'm not sure how to use the points that I have.
For those who may not have understood the ending...Basically, Kyosuke lost his memories of Ito because he overdosed with meth when he got kidnapped. Meth is known to affect the area around the brain that controls memory, and this effect is long-term, so the memories won't come back. The customers that came out of the bar had said that the Kyousuke had to go into rehab to recover. Even though the two of them love each other, they can't be with each other. Ito continues to see Kyosuke despite knowing he lost his memories because he just loves him a lot. Ito has nothing now except for him (Kyousuke is in the same situation). That's why it hurts so much. The two of them can't love each other the same way as before even though they need each other.
thanks i didnt really undertand the memory lost thing so thanks for the explanation
They experienced love for the first time in their lives with each other... And it's hurts to know that they won't ever be the same again.
But why can't Ito just win him over again? Does it have something to do with the rehabilitation?
The ending doesn't reveal too much. However, it may be possible that Kyosuke lost his memories of his past, including his parents who are the reason for his starting prostitution. I think that because of his past, he became aloof and didn't really much care about anything until Ito came along. Now, he's like a completely new person. Maybe Ito just wants to watch him from afar (just this time he wanted to be closer to him). Ito might be able to win Kyosuke over, but their relationship won't be same as before.
This is somme kind of second chance they must just seize it :).
some*
Thanks for explaining!
Anyone notice that the business card that Chihiro has and the one that the Haruya has have the same design?
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kichiku_encount/mf/c001/30/
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/junjou_bitch/bt/331892/Vol1_Ch1/9/
Haha, I'm your fan, I can't believe you noticed that! good job!ヾ(☆▽☆)
Nice catch!
Ah, i think it's because they work in the same business maybe? (⌒▽⌒)
The club's called "Star Drop," so maybe there's an entire series of stories that follow the various prostitutes~ There's no doubt the adorable complaining kouhai is going to get his own happy ending ;P
In chapter 5 of Kichiku, Encount Haruya makes an appearence.
The same business theory seems to be right. (≧∀≦)
Yes :D it seems possible to see porn stars and sluts under the same company
Makes business sense. After all the only difference is that porn actors are paid for their 'acting' and it's all on video.
Yeah! I read Kichiku, Encount again just to spend some time and at the end of chap.1 noticed the same too! But I think that Chihiro probably works as a prostitute and porn actor, because when he gets a phone call the other guy says that he stood a woman for a "meeting" xD But he also says that he's been 2 months without sex. I think the guy was happening for something similar as the character of Rinka from Leopard Hakusho, too much boring sex he was impotent xD crazy theories
Is it still rape if you ask that question? LOL...
Actually, I was thinking 'what a mood killer'. Is it just me?
no, I thought the same thing
But actually it wasn't rape, he could refuse him. I think both sides wanted to do it, maybe he was only too shy and then he used this opportunity.^^
It was sexual assault. He said no. I really don't like how they downplay this. But I understand that it is a common topic in yaoi even if it's horrible.
Just what I was thinking!
Even if he didn't refuse, image a guy you're interested in pushes you down, kisses you and then comes out with that line. It immediately changes the setting from "I'm crazy about you" to "stay still while I make myself feel good".
For those who dislike reading novels, you should really try for this series because these novels conveys things that the manga (which also skipped some scenes) does not. I know it takes time to read them all, but they are worth it. You can also see some of Odagiri Hotaru's artwork in them too. And, if you read the extra in the last volume, it tells the story that the manga covers in Kazuki's perspective. It's the sweetest thing I have ever read since it reveals how he got the ring back.
I agree with those who wants the entire thing adapted to manga (I want to see them being lovey dovey with each other), but keep in mind that Odagiri is also pretty busy (and slow, as she has stated in the extra). The manga only covers half of the first volume so it's a hell of a lot of work. So if possible, read the novels.
The first page made the characters look like Kise and Kasamatsu from Kuroko no Basket. In a way...
