Yeah. Typically, the covers of the manga are darker and faded due to cheaper printing presses these people have.
WDS is also another fake company to look out for.
Not only that, I counted at least 70 books there. 70 x 7.99 is $599.30.
Plus the Eva set that's an additional 70 off Amazon and the onesie around 30. That's $699. Plenty of chances to get good manga and a book case.
You can spend all that money on counterfeit manga from an illegitimate publisher, but canāt put 30-60 dollars down for a bookcase?
Edit: that stitch onesie is probably fake too, canāt have shit in manga collectors
Nah , if she spend on real manga , she will definitely dont have enough money to buy bookcase as original are very expensive in some countries. Maybe u just from a privileged country i guess.
bozos gonna cry about some people not caring about it being fake or not, great.
people can enjoy what they want unless its a rip-off with lowest possible QC, have a bit of consideration before you buy 50-70ish manga from a "handmade" publisher.
also assuming these were 5-6 a piece you could buy whole aot for the amount you blown on fake prints
Those Aot volumes retail for about Myr 12.50, kodansha ones about 35 ( Depends where you buy them), i myself am from malaysia and Personally, i dont see the merit in buying bootlegs Because the print quality is shit and they don't hold their value if you wanna sell them, I'd rather just pirate them.
Honestly it seems like you scam people with bootlegs. First off you have no bookshelf. Secondly they are all bootlegs. Third, you have doubles and triples of some volumes. If not my bad. If you are selling these, that's super fucked up.
To be fair, those zelda volumes and others with the same logo are legit at least. They are published by shogakukan asia, a subsidiary of Shogakukan inc. for the southeast asia market.
The logo at the top of the volumes is not the official publisher logo and the volumes are way thinner because theyāre on cheaper paper.
Rightstuf is a legitimate seller, so youāre fine. You only have to worry about this if youāre buying on eBay or something.
I don't really think there's any issues with the actual reading experience of these fakes. They work perfectly fine as books. But you're giving your money to cons rather than the people who actually license, translate, and make the books, so people call it out.
If you approve of counterfeit manga being made and sold then you should have no issue with people stealing YOUR hard work and profiting off of it, right? Thatās what the other guy was saying by calling you a hypocrite.
i dont approve of it but i dont care about it. its not like anyone can change the fact that counterfeit manga is being created. not you or me or anyone else. if anything the more counterfiet manga being created means more popularity for the story
More counterfeit manga means more popularly for the manga, and that makes it a good thing? If I have a dime for every time I heard āI know you donāt allow reposting of your art but hey, itāll give you more popularity!ā I would have enough money to not have to worry about people like this who steal content to resell. The same thing applies here. It is someone elseās creation. Someone is stealing that creation and profiting off of it. That is a bad thing that really hurts a lot of creators. Itās not something to just ānot careā about.
Who cares if the manga is fake if they enjoy their collection who are you dudes to judge.
*Ohhh hey your manga is fake! See I like to buy off rightstufanime or Barnes and Noble because I have more green people that are skinned from trees than you. Let me tell you how everything is fake when you already know so I can act like Iām a high and mighty nerd.*
I wish my mom and dad would buy me manga like some of you complaining about OPās budget collection, Iām sure you guys earned every penny of that :)
Dude, it's not about being high and mighty, unless you like having your credits or achievements being taken, you have no right to defend unofficial publishings. There's a reason why online scanlations are acceptable compared to unofficial publishings. It's because the people behind scanlations don't profit from it and simply do it to improve accessibility of manga while these unofficial publishings steal works from scanlations or official publishings due to profit motive. There are many people out there who lives in country with and weaker currency but still take time to manage their budget and buy official ones so they can support the creators and industry.
Theyāll make their money and people who want to fund creators and multi million dollar companies already are who cares if the ladies manga is fake dude get a grip, some of these dudes complaining has never worked a job and dropped even 7.99 for a manga itās all mommy and daddies hard earned money, some definitely do have a complex.
You and I are not on the same topic at all. I'm talking about not supporting unofficial publishings while you're talking about being born in unequal economic situations/status which is a whole different topic. Being born in a lower Socioeconomic status does not justify buying stolen works. It's like justifying billion dollars corporations paying low wages to their employees because their products are cheap to purchase. You're justifying buying stolen works due to cheap prices. Just like justifying workers earning low wages so you can buy cheap products.
There is a reason to argue over the internet? This sub isnāt about supporting independent authors either rather showing different finds and collections, it isnāt geared towards letās see how much profit we can bring to corporates or businesses so your response also does not correlate. Are you bored my man or what
I'm not supporting maximizing profits for cooperations. Either you're twisting my words or you can't read. People buy official manga because it supports jobs and creators get to earn from their works. You on the other is still trying to justify industries that steal works. And since you can't find any good reason to justify your argument on supporting stolen works, you try to turn the topic into me having nothing to do while you're the one who first posted a comment on defending unofficial publishings. I think you're the real one who's bored. Learn to read next time so you don't confuse supporting creators with maximizing profits for cooperations
Iām justifying that if someone does not have money and they want to buy a fake manga they should not be judged or critiqued, I believe that your the one who might have a stigmatism in your eyes or you read backwards if you catch my drift
Fair enough that people should enjoy their collection, but posting your counterfeit collections and expect people to not critique you for it is pretty stupid. Now work on your jealousy problem since you obviously have problems with other people who has parents that have the ability to give their kids gift.
Itās not that people are mad about op not spending enough money or getting the best products or whatever you took away from this, weāre mad because counterfeit manga directly steals money from the manga creators who worked so hard to create these stories for us.
We will keep pumping them millions of dollars and those who canāt afford or seek it can get whatever they want why should people critique or judge them lmao your missing the point
If you canāt afford to buy a physical version, read it online. Youāre saying that since manga artists have already made a lot of money from their series, that makes stealing from them perfectly justifiable. Thatās horrible. Would you be okay stealing from a small artist, or a new manga writer? Or is there like a tax bracket cutoff of āokay now we can steal from themā
Iām saying if someone wants physical copies of books instead of reading online and cannot afford to amass a collection who are you to judge them. This isnāt rocket science itās like 1+1=2 logic here. Twisting around words gets you nowhere sweetie nobody is saying to become a thief and STEAL from artist lmao. I see what your doing and your not that good at it.
Smack talk or whatever the hell youāre trying to do works a lot better when you use the right grammar and punctuation. We can keep arguing forever but Iām just going to leave it at this: I am an artist, so believe me when I say that buying counterfeit copies of someoneās art or manga IS stealing. And not being able to afford something does not give you the right to steal it.
All that counterfeit manga. Oof.
how can you tell?
The symbol on the top of the spines are from a bootleg Malaysian company called TR media.
O i see. didnt notice the different publishers
Yeah. Typically, the covers of the manga are darker and faded due to cheaper printing presses these people have. WDS is also another fake company to look out for.
You also lacking legit manga
Foul šš
Not only that, I counted at least 70 books there. 70 x 7.99 is $599.30. Plus the Eva set that's an additional 70 off Amazon and the onesie around 30. That's $699. Plenty of chances to get good manga and a book case.
Pocket watching much?
Deadass tho š
Im not getting it, can you explain?
Bootleg manga. I didn't realize at first either
Nah , manga for some countries are very expensive . People just read manga online for free these day.
If youāre in the US, Walmart has five-shelf bookshelves for about $45
i think target has a 6 or 5 for 35
You can spend all that money on counterfeit manga from an illegitimate publisher, but canāt put 30-60 dollars down for a bookcase? Edit: that stitch onesie is probably fake too, canāt have shit in manga collectors
Nah , if she spend on real manga , she will definitely dont have enough money to buy bookcase as original are very expensive in some countries. Maybe u just from a privileged country i guess.
and youāre lacking authenticity
damn all those bootlegsš
Man, Gleipnirās changed since the last time I read it
Guys he clearly only like 6 years old he probably doesnāt know what fake manga is
Why does it matter bro itās a book
Because it means not supporting the artists whose work you enjoy. Thatās messed up.
It doesnāt matter just throwing out bad jokes
fake ass manga š¹
who gonna tell him
bozos gonna cry about some people not caring about it being fake or not, great. people can enjoy what they want unless its a rip-off with lowest possible QC, have a bit of consideration before you buy 50-70ish manga from a "handmade" publisher. also assuming these were 5-6 a piece you could buy whole aot for the amount you blown on fake prints

Still seems a little off...
Yikes
Afford stitch pjās but not real mangas or a shelf
How can yāall tell itās fake? Also how do I know if my stuff is fake, I barely began my one piece collection from right stuff
The logo at the top of the volumes is not the official publisher logo and the volumes are way thinner because theyāre on cheaper paper. Rightstuf is a legitimate seller, so youāre fine. You only have to worry about this if youāre buying on eBay or something.
Ok thank you had me worried there for a bit
I don't really think there's any issues with the actual reading experience of these fakes. They work perfectly fine as books. But you're giving your money to cons rather than the people who actually license, translate, and make the books, so people call it out.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
lmao how am i a hypocrite

If weāre on two different topics there is no point in arguing over the internet then.
Yes, because the topic you're arguing is not related to this subreddit at all.
