Two MAJOR reasons why you should not support snipers

1. They normally don’t have any commitment.
Unlike scanlation groups who mostly operate openly and commit to a certain degree to complete their projects (at least we get to learn if they are dropping so someone else can pick it up), we know nothing about snipers like the one who did this chapter. So don’t come crying if they suddenly disappear into oblivion and there’s no more future chapter for you to read, alright.

2. They stole others’ scanlation.
Whether you agree with illegal scanlation or not, the translation itself, the money a group used to acquire manga and the time they spent to scan/clean/etc are THEIRS. I don’t know about the Spanish scanlator of Megumi and Tsugumi, but usually groups ask others to get their permission for their scans/translation. I doubt if the sniper here got that permission from the Spanish group. They stole the project from both Hero scans and the Spanish group (I would take back my statement if you can show me proof that says otherwise).

    Prove that they “stole” this. I don’t see any watermarks or Spanish SFX anywhere, so idk where you’re basing claim from.

    I’m basing it on Hero’s scans’ statement (you can see it one their blog). As I said, I will gladly apologise and take back my words if they can prove me wrong.

    You are making surprisingly large claims spreading misinformation in this comment.

    Admittedly my comment was addressing snipers in general, so it may or may not apply to you and your group. I would be more than happy if you can prove me wrong because I want no drama on my favourite manga.

    they stole it via claiming they took it from qvfamma's site on the first page when qvfamma's repeatedly asked that people not retranslate their work. they most likely edited their watermark out if they're saying flat out that they took it from their source, & in the past this has resulted in qvfamma locking their site from all viewers

    The dick redraws are literally the same. They’re censored in the original version & qvfamma has asked that people not retranslate their work. You can layer the two on top of each other it’s the same work lol. Rip qvfamma tho
