@Mr_Kimiko: ok so you are a ripper. I take back that you are a leecher. Still, you don't know much hard work ppl put into obtaining and scanning a physical book before the digital era. And there are different versions of a book from different companies and you can't just go around showing your disgust to other ppl works. Ok. Why do I say "ungrateful"? because what the fuck did ppl read before anything made digitally? You don't want it, someone else want it. You may use the site first, but some scans came first and there are ppl who actually like the nolstagia feel about imperfect scans. The old cover design and letters are already worth it for someone. stay away from what you don't know. I actually get request doing this by some ppl.
And no, I ain't no ripper of all kinda stuff but I do rip and upload stuff which I and my friends like, it's all up to me. Because I own the actual physical copies of books! some companies went bankrupt and there will never see the digital releases , if you wanna play high tech HD guy, up to you, leave us with our own world. I started buying books and been around the scanlation scene since the dawn of it over 20 years ago. Sometime I get updates sometime I don't. I've seen all kind of ppl to decide if i should be nice in the first place. I can talk rough but I'm always calm.
I don't care how big any group is today, I've been with groups that made ppl realize there's manga.
so from now on, you stick to your stuff, i'll stick with mine. Will remove photo 1 and 2 of the untitled fuckers series with your name on it. The other guy STAY!!
Like I said, I'm on any site for fun, there's no need for any particular book anymore. It's been 20 years, I bought enough books to ever need scans anymore and I've come to learn some japanese myself. In fact, I've read enough manga for a lifetime. Thought I wasdoing it because there are ppl who actually need it. I know alot of you don't, but leave me be, don't judge me, don't insult me. I ain't back down in front of anyone, group of ppl, anything.
I also buy the physical books, DVDs, & BDs. I even have a Youtube channel where I post about it (Outdated, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4sIVKNlyuFchjVBx6T1aQQ). I love the history of US Anime/Manga companies.

@Mr_Kimiko: My manga books are way too much I have to put them in 6 cardboard boxes and stack them all inside the closets cos they take up too much spaceLol.

So, some books worth over $300 or higher and there's no way ppl would cut them open to scan nor pressing down too hard to avoid creaseing the book spine. They had to make the best of it which results in "shitty scans" like most of you said. I have mixed feelings about digital manga. I do buy read-online-only stuff to support but at the same time I wanna keep copies of them. What happened to JManga changed me in some way. So most of the time I ripped something and kept them for myself. I appreciate someone else did the work but I can't say I'm with or against it.
I don't judge and comment on what ppl do so I hope the same in return. I am not interested in your or anyone else's stuff and you don't like mine, I don't hang out with your crowds and you don't know my ppl in vice versa. I just think that we shouldn't mind nor give each other an attitude in the first place.
I am sorry about your mom.
I found the blog where they scan UM again. Finally can give credit where its due. You can grab newest volume without me anymore.
