it might be that to print full color and have it still look nice, you'd need special paper for it, too. printing in color is just and overall expensive process (paper and ink)
where to buy?
That's true. Its expensive process. I think it's understandable now.
Amazon or rightstufanime
Colored is really expensive, like really.
In Italy we have Killing stalking full color and it cost 9.90€/11$, I think it's not really expensive. I bought a manga (yaoi) in France and it was a normal manga(black and white and the paper isn't good either) and cost 8€...
With 200 pages and the format 15x21
wow, that cost a lot, here in Indonesia, full color Orange Marmalade cost $4-$5. But it is rare here to get yaoi/shounen ai manga.
Our normal manga cost 4/6$ so
So cheap. Where I live normal manga can range about 9$ to 17$ depending on format, amount of pages and the editorial company. (And triple the amount if it's imported. Which is rare to find in my local)
I tried buying online (local), 1 manga for about 8$ cost me 23$ instead (I could have bought 2 if bought it in their store.) So I don't buy online anymore unless can't find it anywhere. (And doesn't need PayPal/Credit cards since I don't have)
I wish I could ask my aunt to buy me English manga, but she doesn't wanna help me out anymore #－.－)
I brought volume 1 printed book. Its not in full color like online. Its in black and write. Confused. Is it because black ink is just cheaper and full color ink is too expensive? ?
