I know a lot of people on Twitter who won’t be happy.

Interesting to see that in Japan, manga leakers are arrested and severely punished but not pedophiles and sexual harrasers/abusers, where less likely to being severely punished than manga leakers, as well as those who possesed cannabis. Interesting justice system in Japan.

Why do you spread misinformation on the internet?

Some weebs are NEVER going to let the Japanese justice system live down the sentence they handed to Nobuhiro Watsuki. The sentence of which was a suspended sentence because he was a first-time offender. I feel like because of this one example of a sex offender getting off easy makes people think that Japan is a country that allows sex offenders to get away with their crimes.

Jump piracy is completely out of control. Some of the stores or even the printers have to be in on it due to how early things leak. I can´t see editorial having leaks but you never know. Marvel had that exact problem years ago but they stopped the drain when it was noticed that pages that still had to be finalized were in the leaked issues.

Leaking WSJ is honestly bizarre as all chapters are released day and date for free when they hit the streets in Japan but the social media algorithm needs content. VJump also leaks early but not SQ, as it lacks manga that will get you clicks om Reddit and X.

If you going to commit a crime online, make sure there is no way it can be traced back to you. These people probably used their social media accounts, or somehow linked them to their personal ones. Then again criminals are generally stupid.

Guessing they got a friend working in a store which showed them the stock.

Megumi Hayashibara will be Goku's new seiyu, starting from the moment he becomes small.

I’m not even sure how to respond to this, assuming it’s even true, lol.

It turns out that this store was the nexus point for current leaks according to OP channels and scanaltors. The raw leaks now move from Wednesday to Thursday. Shrug and no way that this will last. Nintendo still hasn´t managed to have Switch Roms top leaking way before the street day and they run a tighter ship with more money at stake. Jump leaks further go back to the mid to late 00s. Twitter kicked that shit into the next level but the game itself is old.

Berserk also has leaks now that I think about it. From Korea or something.

[redacted] down. I think only [redacted] is now the only English Scanlators still active after this.

[EDIT: Sorry, mentioning sites for fansubs/rips/scanlations is frowned upon for legal reasons. -TK]

solution : release things online first and there won't be any leaks
