  Not sure if they fixed this but some of the scans may be pretty low quality.

  If you look up scans on manga hosting sites they're in much better resolution (you should still support the industry in some way if you can though).

    Is that Vinland Saga? Never read it so I don't know any of the characters. Downloading it now for comparison, the PDF is 971MB for ~470 pages (~2MB/page) so I'd imagine it'd be higher quality than your sample. Even WSJ is better than that and it's about 0.25MB/page.
    P.S. it's not "…support the industry in some way if you can…". it's pay for it or don't read/watch it. These things are a luxury, not a necessity of life, if you can't afford it, don't pirate it.

      if you can't afford it, don't pirate it.

      Huh?

      So called pirates actually spend more money on legitimate purchases than silly non-pirates such as yourself preaching about what a good boy you are and how everyone should be like you and deny themselves content in order to feel like a good boy.

        Any evidence or is this just "gut feeling" bullshit nonsense? You spend more money by pirating than by not pirating? That makes no sense. You would spend your entertainment money on something else, something that offered you a price point you were comfortable with and advertised it appropriately. There's plenty of free, legally obtainable content out there or to buy at an appropriate price and Turnbull has said that VPNs are legit so tell me, how are you justifying your "right" to pirate?
        You want to be a pirate, whatever, just don't get up on a soapbox and try to justify it morally or economically, because there is no reason to do in Australia, 2016.

    Yeah I'm going to say that the low quality scans are just the samples. Here's a crop of the tower from the first page. But you could always just donate $1 USD to charity, get some manga and at the same time try to prove me wrong.

      Thanks for clarifying, good to hear the proper versions are good quality. I wasn't trying to prove you wrong, just giving a warning to everyone but thankfully I was wrong. Didn't want people to spend money on a less than ideal product!
      If you ever get around to reading Inuyashiki tell me what you think of it (:

    Heh. Typical, Japanese companies crazily overprice all their entertainment media, so they are nuts for region locking everything so their customers can't buy them elsewhere.

    Same reason you can buy a Star Wars or Lion King Blu-Ray for $20, but my not My Neighbour Totoro.

    (Despite the fact that English versions of these older titles being available cheap won't threaten their profits in the slightest…)

  Pass on digital manga (readily available via other apps etc). Like many people rather have the real paper versions
