The publishers backed down and agreed to allow the fan translations to stay up. I am honestly stunned that we managed to pull this off for our community. Keep an eye on those license agreements though since we need to make sure this stays protected.

I started this because I just wanted a simple way to read my favorite series without waiting years for a translation that might never come. People keep sending me messages about how they feel completely cut off from the stories they love. We are just asking for a bridge between the creators and the fans who want to keep supporting this art form.

Seeing this kind of momentum means more than I can put into words because it proves I am not the only one fighting to keep these stories accessible. Reading your comments about how these translations changed your lives reminds me why I started this in the first place.

I buy the books when they finally release here but waiting 3 years for a translation is just stupid. scanlations are the only way to keep up!!
its literally the only way i can read some of these series. please dont kill the community.
keep them alive
Some of us live where these books never even get sold. How are we supposed to read them?
DONT DO THIS. nobody wants to wait five years for an official translation that will probably be censored anyway.

Total garbage. The fans are the ones keeping these series relevant in the first place.
