Probably never buy random translated mangas when you're not sure if the profits will go to the artist. I remember I asked when I could buy official translations of a manga and some random tried to sell me copies that weren't official. I'm not gonna get into the whole 'reading manga for free is bad' thing cause I do it too, but when people try to profit off of their own translations without any licenses to the manga it's a massive issue.
It may have sounded that way because I worded the sentence wrongly. When I meant someone, I was referring to legit scanlations/translations groups representing the mangaka herself. Sorry about that but thanks for your clarification. I am well aware of who I should and should not purchase it from. If my hunch is right, the only reason we don't have these translated is because the mangaka is clearly not benefitting at all. So I really hope she would negotiate rates and have her works available on Renta for instance so that we can buy and read them legally.
If someone is able to translate this and put it up for sale, I would gladly buy it just to read. Are the translated versions not up in legal online platforms? Augh...Mangaka-sama, you have international fans too! Please don't disregard us!
