[digital spear]

That wouldve been worse than Garling

[fallen meteor]

[royal orchid]

opened it to see from up close and saw a nuke in the bio

[opal gull]

He will be back

[final trench]

It did look like whitebeard was fighting someone in 1167(?) or which ever chapter was post god valley

[dapper tree]

I meant garling but I didn't care enough to fix that

[digital spear]

Wait. I meant to say bio lol. Thats why I said Pregbeard

[digital spear]

Garlock Shamling all the same

Warlock...

[final trench]

I think it was shamrock fr

[sonic oasis]

I'd rub pregbeard's belly

[final trench]

Which led to shanks being scarred

[runic dock]

WB could’ve still gotten scarred by shamrock

Could’ve happened at the same time as shanks fought loki

[shadow knoll]

no way shamrock is that good

[rich hornet]

It’s questionable even for garland

[shadow knoll]

they be getting tossed around by Sanji ffs

[runic dock]

Couldve said that about shanks in regards to his fight with Loki

[shadow knoll]

oh my bad, why am i botherin with power scaling

[runic dock]

Thats why I think it could’ve happened too, to mirror shanks in a way

Not scaling

I just love God Valley flashback, its insane how many storylines intersected naturally there. Shanks, Kuma being the best and saving ppl while eating the fruit, Ivankov being epic, Dragon getting inspired by the revo ragtag team, Rayleigh and Shakky's love story, Garp turning against the WG, BM wanting to give the fruit to Katakuri, Kaido/BM grudge, Blackbeard's story, Xebec's death

I probably forgot smth

[digital spear]

You forgot me fighting Rocks and Imu and everyone

I was pretty cool too

Man I cant write

[rustic coral]

Captain John's death too right

[shadow knoll]

what did roger do?

[final trench]

Nah he aint die

He dies after god valley

His crew killed him (somehow)

[runic dock]

It’s really great makes Elbaf such a nice arc

[digital spear]

John died via mutiny by his own crew later

[final trench]

Probably had sea prism swords

[rustic coral]

Teamed up with Garp and staying loyal to his crew (Rayleigh asked him to go), seeing what happened to Xebec also made him a more responsible person

And he got Shanks there

Gil bastar

[rustic coral]

Is that true??

[hardy stratus]

Dragon was the unexpected MVP

[digital spear]

I mean Gil Bastar lol

[rich hornet]

That’s not even up for debate. We saw John get his legendary treasure on GV, and we know he later hid it and made a weird map. He didn’t do all that in 5 minutes

[digital spear]

Yes Gil Bastar not Wang Zhi

Hes also from Odas oneshot WANTED 30 years ago where he had a ghost too

[urban lodge]

Oda decided he hates him for no reason

[digital spear]

They already made this

[brittle basin]

Does this mean Perona's DF is the earliest one he ever created?

oh wait

is that from GV?

[digital spear]

I dont think he thought that to be a df back then already

Kaido wouldn’t give two fucks bout Lokis size

kaido is tiny lil baby compared to nidhogg's size

[grand flower]

And would fuck him up

[opal gull]

Is Luffy also in Giant mode here?

[dark nymph]

bigger = stronger

[remote maple]

yeah luffy was giant when riding niddhog

[dark nymph]

yall think Luffy can jump-rope Loki

eos

[remote maple]

he'd have to be really big

[stone terrace]

Imu can grow to lokis size which should still be much larger than giant luffy

But loki in full zoan is still like 50x larger lmao

[muted hedge]

Imu can probably grow to any size

wouldn't surprise me if they proceeded to become large enough to wield the sword which is lodged in Elbaph to fight off Nidhoggr

though, that would be insane

okay nevermind, i forgot how huge it is

[brittle basin]

insanely awesome

[muted hedge]

Imu would be the size of the tree, if he was going to wield that sword lol

[graceful grove]

NeroNami is falling for Vivi..... Luffy x Vivi?

[celest mauve]

why is joyboy x lily assumed to be a thing when they might not have even known each other 😭

[graceful grove]

something something oda and parallels

but its mostly to make imu a cuck

[celest mauve]

oda usually draws similarities between characters but he doesn't draw complete parallels either

[urban sluice]

people just compare it to other series (that I cannot mention and you shouldnt mention it either)

and think its the same story

[brittle basin]

What OS? I'll mention it.

[graceful grove]

guy with yellow hair?

[brittle basin]

that's all of them!

[graceful grove]

everyone wants Imu to be a cuck smh

what if Joyboy was the one who got cucked

[celest mauve]

is it about ninjas by any chance

[graceful grove]

thats when he was a blob. he is much cooler now tbh

[royal orchid]

western fans LOVE making someone a cuck

[brittle basin]

Ninjas aren't OS, they are IRL smh

[urban sluice]

you shouldnt mention it either

[royal orchid]

ninjas? like in wano?

[brittle basin]

People mention whatever you're talking about all the time, including mods that's the irony

I think Red is the only mod who follows the rules

[graceful grove]

western fans..... have you heard of countries called South Korea and Japan

[keen falcon]

I think of another series but regardless I don't think the story provides remotely enough to suggest that's what happened

[celest mauve]

maybe imu once liked lily, was betrayed by her and now has a hate/love obsession to this day

why joyboy gotta be a part of it

[royal orchid]

I've had my share of both but there's just something where most of them are amerikans

[trim lily]

well imu was besties with joyboy and now imu might not like joyboy

so perhaps theyre related

[keen falcon]

It definitely seems to me like imu's spat with joyboy is ideological and not weird cuck things

its crazy

[sick dust]

The anime used to have leaks?

[keen falcon]

Why'd they wait til NOW to take this much action

[lofty fern]

I think he did manga leaks

[fallen meteor]

if they went to #announcements and just tallied who the top 5 posters were which staff/former staff would be killed by shueisha?

[urban lodge]

It's all that Gachiakuta fan's fault

[sick dust]

The twitter auto translation drama might of been the cause

[rose rune]

I hope that is true

[urban lodge]

Me too

It would be so funny

[rose rune]

you know what. I've decided it's true

[ashen perch]

he did, but his main thing were his industry connections with which he'd post news

its probably what Sandman said I think

[rose rune]

that's what they get for yelling at the mangaka

[sick dust]

I thought that was case a week or two prior and still do

[lofty fern]

What's so funny is that they don't even get you for the actual leaks, it's for random OP art or screenshots that's posted

[sick dust]

If it wasn’t for him that mangaka won’t snitch to the higher ups which I think happened

[keen falcon]

This shit was not hidden 🥀

[keen falcon]

Shueisha higher ups were not suddenly stunned one day to find out leaks exist

[ashen perch]

this is a sound assessment I think, the main issue is really spoilers popping up for JP side of the fanbase

the auto translate feature meant that tweets from all over the world were clearly being shown for them, including leaks as big as the Imu reveal

[hardy stratus]

Makes perfect sense

[sick dust]

So the JP berate us for piracy and yet do the exact same thing as us?

[opal gull]

should simply ban the leakers account in Japan tbh

[ashen perch]

its not their fault lol

[opal gull]

Shueisha should have connections

to do that

[warm sierra]

Why are/were there no jp leakers though?

[ashen perch]

its algorithmic

[hardy stratus]

Why would there be

[ashen perch]

the tweets popped up because they were interacting with american accounts, that werent even related to OP at all

[sick dust]

I know but they were still being pretty hateful towards others that do it

And I’m not talking about the OP JP fandom

[ashen perch]

yeah but thats a different thing

[warm sierra]

Why would spoilers be exclusive to the western fanbase lol

[ashen perch]

they didnt seek out these leaks

[lofty fern]

Hmm, I could see that. I do get way more auto translated stuff than before

[ashen perch]

they showed up automatically for them

[hardy stratus]

Because different manga culture?

[warm sierra]

What?

[ashen perch]

JP is very insane about their anti piracy beliefs too, this includes the fans luks

[opal gull]

the auto translate is so trash for Japanese anyways

[hardy stratus]

I can go to a 7-11 and read latest op chapter for free

In jp

[warm sierra]

not before release which is the same here

[ashen perch]

They dont want anything to do with these leaks, they might make money out of it to sell worldwide but they wont post it themselves

[muted hedge]

i want a god of war game where you play as Imu

[hardy stratus]

yeah they skipped the whole thing that led to leaks to here

leaks weren't a thing here forever ago either

[sick dust]

Have you seen the insane hypotheticals they use

[ashen perch]

I have lol

[clever quail]

A simple google search on japanese piracy statistics will tell you whether you're hearing just one side of the story and it's good to remember that reddit and twitter are now more bots than humans.

[sick dust]

Like why is sexual assault the first comparison you use for piracy?

[lofty fern]

Would he fit in well there?

[hardy stratus]

Knew this was coming

[ashen perch]

its to a point that its unbelievable, they are complete corporate glazers

[opal gull]

so you already have full power? or you play Imu as a kid? slowly growing powerful?

[brittle basin]

Hopefully they understand there is room for nuance too

[graceful grove]

can we blame mr.beast for this somehow ?

[opal gull]

which is a sad thing

corporate glazer lmao

[hardy stratus]

??

[muted hedge]

probably growing in terms of power

[hardy stratus]

Bruh

[muted hedge]

i'd like to think that the gameplay format would fit

[opal gull]

even their work culture I heard is really bad

sad times

[trim lily]

i think the evening schools is more common in south korea than japan

[graceful grove]

its insane

[trim lily]

but it probably does still exist to some degree

[ashen perch]

tbh I do understand it with the leaks, but outside of that it shouldnt really be a big deal

[clever quail]

Gotta have kids to have schools

[brittle basin]

It can be, but rumor has it that it has gotten better in recent years, but that's relatively speaking. I have watched a history documentary on the origins of their work culture. While it is understandable, it should still be criticized.

[trim lily]

they have easy access to manga in their native language so they don’t understand someone modifying the work and giving it away for free

[distant vine]

If One Piece just wasnt published in the West or it was super expensive to read Id be more forgiving of leaks

[sick dust]

A manga volume over there is like 2 dollars

[distant vine]

But free chapters every week, yeah just shut up and wait for Sunday

[brittle basin]

piracy can also be used for (and it should) for preservation. But that's not why this manga is being translated lol

[ashen perch]

They were going off at fans who simply couldnt afford to buy or just didnt have access, and their response was basically just ''if you dont have access, you just dont get to access''

[royal orchid]

you WILL work until 90 and you WILL enjoy being socially coerced into drinking until you pass out on the street

then you WILL have photos taken of you and your unconscious corpse WILL be circled with water bottles as you wake up around 8am

[opal gull]

[brittle basin]

i'm sure most can afford the 2.99/month for the app (granted, some may have hardships or are too young to have credit or debit cards).

[ashen perch]

oh yeah it was unrelated to the manga stuff, there was a whole war on piracy in general that played out recently but it wasnt related to manga

[trim lily]

there is absolutely no moral justification in pirating a series that’s already being simulpubbed

[clever quail]

How many of them were legit humans though and not bot farms or corporate shills brought in for the task.

[brittle basin]

I pay HBO Max, but I also feel like I get my money's worth

[prisma idol]

For free*

[ashen perch]

in One Piece's case, the justification did used to exist 10+ years ago, theres none now

[brittle basin]

I don't pay for the manga app 'cause I don't feel like I get my money's worth

[prisma idol]

Though most people can afford chapters

[clever quail]

Define most people

[brittle basin]

But I also buy the volumes, so it doesn't ultimately matter. OP is getting my money one way or another.

[trim lily]

most people won’t be buying volumes so i think having to pay for chapters (a small amount) is justified

[scenic dirge]

SNAIL I WIN I WIN OMG I WIN SNAIL SNAIL SNAIL

[ashen perch]

Simulpub, WORLDWIDE, its insane that Mangaplus actually is real! This is the kind of service we manga fans used to beg for

[cloud charm]

Boo 👻

[ashen perch]

so there really isnt any justification now for reading those leaks

[prisma idol]

We don't do imu slander around here

[scenic dirge]

Most people meaning most people. It’s like $2 a month

[clever quail]

Any countries where mangaplus isn't offered

[trim lily]

yeah

[distant vine]

3 latest chapters are free anyways if youre caught up

[ashen perch]

Eh thats tough to evaluate I suppose. They were getting a lot of likes though, but even that can be manipulated these days

[brittle basin]

that is true. but also the app has tons more manga

[ashen perch]

Japan itself

[cloud charm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1466445902096105686/1482875283538182256/togif.gif

[trim lily]

well they have their own shonen jump app

[ashen perch]

because they have Shonen Jump+

yeah

[trim lily]

jump+ is pretty good

[prisma idol]

BB spouting mid rhetoric and ideas like always.

[trim lily]

they usually have the recent chapter free like us

[ashen perch]

they make OP free like all the time lol

[brittle basin]

odd. i just used the mangaplus site, and I can't zoom in on the manga even with CTRL+ or - wtf

[ashen perch]

no wonder people dont feel like buying previous volumes as much there

[prisma idol]

The only problem i have with Mangaplus/Shueisha is the scan quality, its not terrible, but it could be better

[trim lily]

i basically won’t buy volumes unless i really want to support the author or i think it looks good

[ashen perch]

well still much better than anything the fanscans will ever be able to provide

[brittle basin]

sorry, but when Haikyuu looks incredible on a fan site on my phone, Shueisha better up their fucking game

[prisma idol]

Hmmm? On mobile I know you can, so its weird you can't

[trim lily]

english publishers love compressing their content

[ashen perch]

Haikyu has never looked incredible on a fan site though

[brittle basin]

looks great on my phone at night

[ashen perch]

their scans were kinda bad, I read the final saga weekly

[clever quail]

Some of that is also redrawn panels though for ol scanlators

[brittle basin]

The manga app never did

[royal orchid]

the website blocks most browser controls
you can't F11 to hide toolbar/taskbar on it, you have to go to another tab and press the button

[brittle basin]

let me try

[dark nymph]

ITHN'T THAT RIGHT?! JOYBOY!!

[ashen perch]

do you mean like the sites that have the official scans on them?

[brittle basin]

i believe so

[ashen perch]

oh okay yeah

[brittle basin]

i want HQ, like very HQ

[ashen perch]

Viz has a better reader tbh, try that

[brittle basin]

i use viz for the officials

i hate it

[royal orchid]

so no mangaplus

[ashen perch]

mangaplus is a bit worse for whatever reason

[rose rune]

yeah, I just tried to figure out if having a subscription would somehow make the resolution better, but there's no mention of it, so actually no reason to buy

[brittle basin]

none of them are good by my standards. i might have high standards but I don't care

[royal orchid]

does anyone pay mangaplus

I wonder if they're higher quality images if you're paying them

[trim lily]

i only pay for two platforms

[ashen perch]

I speak for everyone when I say we ALL pay for the OFFICIAL services every single month

[rose rune]

doesn't look like it

[trim lily]

(neither mangaplus)

[ashen perch]

*Shueisha is watching

[opal gull]

Volume scans should be good

[trim lily]

oda

[opal gull]

but i cant find them

[warm sierra]

I pay double to support them

[opal gull]

the Viz is so garbage

[brittle basin]

I give Shueisha money, they're good.

[trim lily]

oda doesnt need my money anyway he has enough

[prisma idol]

Well you dont really have to pay for it if your series is ongoing, dont you get free first reads

[ashen perch]

you do yeah

and you can like delete cache/data and it resets

you basically get it forever lol

[rose rune]

No mention of quality

[sick dust]

How do you know it goes back to Oda?

[warm sierra]

I aspire to get Oda enough money so he can build the mother flame and eradicate some random island

[clever quail]

Big viz editions?

[sick dust]

And not the pockets of Shueshia executives

[trim lily]

well the subscription fees probably don’t

but i would assume volume sales might

[sick dust]

Crunchy roll doesn’t pay the animators of the anime they stream

[ashen perch]

he gets the most from volume sales

[sick dust]

Or pay the translators enough

[opal gull]

Yeah but are they online?

[prisma idol]

I'm just glad its this system instead of.... Kmanga....

[ashen perch]

but stuff like merch for example, theres a fraction he's getting there

[opal gull]

its the omnibus right?

[ashen perch]

or the movies

[trim lily]

we’re lucky shueisha didn’t introduce keys or points for chapters

[ashen perch]

I remember reading about it with the KnY author, she got an absurdly small fraction out of the movie sales lol

[prisma idol]

I fucking hate the buy points system

[brittle basin]

for a second I thought "maybe it's just the one piece chapters" so I chose a random new manga that had very few chapters and it was the same thing. like bro. Why is there a zoom option on this website when it zooms and becomes blurry?

[clever quail]

I plead the fif officer

[trim lily]

i’ve been normalized into it unfortunately

two of my favourite series use it and are official only…

[prisma idol]

Reading manhua/manhwa

[trim lily]

even a manga

[opal gull]

yeahhh

the fan scans dont have that problem with Zoom

Even freaking OPScans doesnt get blurry when you Zoom

[graceful grove]

https://tenor.com/view/ascend-j4niascend-gif-17692864243950470770

[sick dust]

Buy point system?

Is this a K manga or Mangaplus thing

[brittle basin]

Maybe I'm the outlier, but since I'm an artist, I like to zoom in on my digital manga and look at the details. I'll pay good money for that.

[prisma idol]

Some apps follow a system of buying points/currency

[royal orchid]

old Brazilian meme, caption:
Piracy:
I'm in!
I only use counterfeit!

[trim lily]

it’s more common on other platforms and in japan/SK

[prisma idol]

And you need a certain amount of currency/points to read the chapter

[sick dust]

So I have to pay for each individual chapter?

[prisma idol]

Kmanga

[prisma idol]

Yes

[sick dust]

That’s just bullshit

[opal gull]

Yeah, I guess if you can find Volume Scans somewhere that would be good.

[trim lily]

no subscription either

usually

[opal gull]

but most sites dont update

[sick dust]

SJ app gives you all chapters for like $3 a month

[prisma idol]

Yeah you have to manually buy points, you can passively gain them

[trim lily]

some let you get free trials or free points but it’s mostly paid

[prisma idol]

The most you get is like 10 free if they are feeling nice

[clever quail]

Touching up scans to make them hq might be against contract, and make people decide against the physical tankobon? Not sure if true, trying to think of reasons why.

Digital offers resolutions and details physical possibly cannot

[trim lily]

jump readers have it extremely well

[sick dust]

I haven’t used that app in years

[trim lily]

you haven’t even begun to see the depths of this system

[sick dust]

The collection is still a bit limited

[brittle basin]

My argument is simple in the end: I want HQ images, and I will pay good money monthly for it.

[ashen perch]

are you sure its set on HQ btw?

because they set quality on low or medium by default lol

I read on a PC and I dont really feel like its much of an issue, it could be better ofc

[sick dust]

Manga plus isn’t sounding appealing

[brittle basin]

It's medium by default. i clicked high and nothing changed even after refreshing the site. still couldn't zoom either. I really want to zoom

[rose rune]

https://tenor.com/view/cash-money-bills-stacks-gif-5848160

[prisma idol]

I think Kmanga lets you get like 5 chapters blocks for free after each chapter release, but usually its like months behind the official

[opal gull]

What is a popular KManga series?

[brittle basin]

it's simple for me. i pay for quality. why would I pay for DVD quality when other places have blu-ray and 4K?

[trim lily]

the worst part is that one of the manga i pay for per chapter doesnt even look that good in the reader lmao

it has the same compression problem

[royal orchid]

a manwha website I rarely go to reset everyone's hard earned points some time ago and the whole house was mad under every chapter lmao

[frail pewter]

hi everyone, no chapter this week because of break, right ?

[rose rune]

the only way to get high quality is to change to a non english version of the chapter

[trim lily]

yerp

[opal gull]

pay per chapter? thats crazy lmao

[brittle basin]

well shit

[royal orchid]

Golden Week lasts until the 6th

[brittle basin]

is that really true thigh?

[frail pewter]

alright, thanks

[warm sierra]

chapter will be out on may 9th on mangaplus and not before that

[urban lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-marianne-marianne-one-piece-little-garden-baroque-works-gif-5153328004248253629

[sick dust]

Kodansha has plenty of popular series

AOT for one

[trim lily]

speaking of i need to check up on a kmanga series i forgot about

[ashen perch]

weird, I just pulled up the first chapter of One Piece and the zoom is pretty good

[royal orchid]

get on hitoner

[ashen perch]

its the weekly chapters that have the issue, volume scans are excellent

[keen falcon]

Hitoner is so good

[brittle basin]

For Viz app? I get blur every time.

[brittle basin]

i was talking about the official app

[opal gull]

Damn it is true

[ashen perch]

I used mangaplus

[rose rune]

I can jump in the app and check

[royal orchid]

OOHHHH I remember that

[dark nymph]

gotter und teufel

[opal gull]

I did this on Mangaplus

[royal orchid]

it makes no sense at all

[opal gull]

both on high quality

[trim lily]

maybe

[brittle basin]

I want to do a test. do you know of a newer manga that is created digital that's on mangaplus?

[clever quail]

Funny y'all telling them what to fix in here

[prisma idol]

Wait meeks

You also read Hitoner?

[royal orchid]

maybe they hate americans

[opal gull]

I guess they dont care about user experience or providing quality content

Piracy All the Way

[trim lily]

oh wtf it actually looks high quality on mangaplus

why is it only one piece that looks bad

[ashen perch]

yeah

[ashen perch]

nah the volume scans look great

the weekly are.. idk

[prisma idol]

VIZ HATES One Piece

[royal orchid]

I read the oneshot 300 years ago and I'm reading it weekly now because I think it's a fun series

[keen falcon]

Hitoner is soo cute I need 1000 more chapters

[rose rune]

This is when I zoom in on the arabic one in the app

[formal wagon]

wait manga plus high quality manga on manga plus english speaking text manga plus text chapter clean manga plus

[brittle basin]

yeah people were praising the arabic scans

[trim lily]

[prisma idol]

I never read the one shot but was reading it weekly after seeing stuff about it online.... so much art too

[brittle basin]

Looks like Haikyu chapter 1 is pretty HQ on mangaplus. Just...just let me zoom. I'll pay you.

someone tell me how to zoom

[ashen perch]

just pinch in

[brittle basin]

i'm on my pc at the moment

[rose rune]

I can't even zoom as far in the english version, and it still looks more grainy

[ashen perch]

ah dang well

[clever quail]

Viz shooting off c&d letters to official websites to lower quality of scans as we speak

Everybody gets them tariffs

[brittle basin]

let me download the app on my phone

or should I use the website on my phone arsal?

[ashen perch]

tbh you dont need zoom with your pc

[brittle basin]

Need? This ain't about need, homie, it's about DESIRE

[ashen perch]

that two page canvas in front of your screen is the ideal way to read manga

its like having a full manga opened wide in front of you

[sick dust]

I tend to zoom in on recent OP chapters regardless

A ton of clutter

[royal orchid]

my eyes could not believe it when I saw a fanart quoting a tweet announcing chapter 2 released

[clever quail]

Read on the home theater

[sick dust]

But other times the page flows smoothly like the Loki introduction

[trim lily]

im a vertical manga scroller now

[opal gull]

First one is Mangaplus English and 2nd is 3asq

this should never happen tbh. I guess this is on purpose

[ashen perch]

on PC? thats crazy

[rose rune]

even the french version is high quality

[ashen perch]

I have never really needed to zoom in on pc, I got tired of reading on mobile for that reason

[opal gull]

french is always high quality as well

[frail kindle]

english is always ass

[royal orchid]

shueisha is listening

[ashen perch]

3asq is just copying the JP scans and running it through a script

[brittle basin]

i do it too

[opal gull]

Mobile reading is so bad yeah

[clever quail]

French got that bandee desinee to compare against.

[brittle basin]

every time

[ashen perch]

just bring your face closer to the screen tbh

[opal gull]

we should have the same jap quality for eng as well.

[ashen perch]

best zoom in possible

[opal gull]

someone sue Shueisha

[brittle basin]

ok I got the pinch zoom to work on manga plus's mobile website. the HQ ain't too bad

[ashen perch]

oh the mobile website should have pinch in yeah

[brittle basin]

I might consider this.

[ashen perch]

this is evil btw

[brittle basin]

if only the latest manga chapters are blured, i might be able to tolerate it if all the previous volume scans are HQ

[brittle basin]

me too, it hurts the double page spread, but it's faaaar easier to read on mobile

[clever quail]

Class action suit goes into discovery on piracy behavior of plaintiffs.

Punitive damages of 100 billion yen rewarded to shueisha

[trim lily]

if i care enough about the double page ill read it on desktop

[ashen perch]

I think if you told a mangaka that you were scrolling through their shit webtoon style, theyd come for your throat

[brittle basin]

but on my PC I have CBZ reader, so I can double page with that....no zoom though 🙁

[rose rune]

portuguese, french, indonesian, spanish, German, and Vietnamese all have high quality images. English is literally the only one with low resolution

[opal gull]

isnt that the norm?

I always use the Vertical scroll?

[dense haven]

any shueusha fans in chat

[trim lily]

arsal youre surrounded

[opal gull]

Fuck Shueisha

[brittle basin]

America in the dumps!

[lofty fern]

Two bestest of friends

[ashen perch]

vertical manga scrolling is like totally evil

[opal gull]

no way, that is the norm

It is general consensus

[dense haven]

gojo is joyboy?

[ashen perch]

😭

[royal orchid]

infininininini

[trim lily]

vertical scrolling was actually how oda intended for you to read one piece

[ashen perch]

Abdoo you have a scroll option on your books

[brittle basin]

on a phone, vertical manga is the only way that works. turning the phone sideways, makes two pages too tiny.

[lofty fern]

I can only do webtoons like that, double pages just mess up

[dense haven]

reading manga or comics on phone is ass

[brittle basin]

and clicking next to get to the second page doesn't feel more immersive

[trim lily]

if you read fanfictions you do

[dense haven]

yall cant be that desperate

[trim lily]

checkmate

[opal gull]

no, but when you reading digital, pdf etc, most of Za Warudo uses scroll

You are the outlier here

[brittle basin]

i read manga on my phone at night. PC is turned off

[opal gull]

we got him

[royal orchid]

are you not a keep it vertical and zoom in for each page freak?

[trim lily]

i think over 2/3 of my total manga/manhwa reading has been on mobile

[ashen perch]

wait how

[brittle basin]

I keep it vertical and zoom in for most pages

[ashen perch]

do your books look like this

[trim lily]

[brittle basin]

On digital, some of mine do that yes, and it's nice

[trim lily]

im actually a regent from 8th century china

[brittle basin]

some turn the page though

[ashen perch]

well manga is read horizontally, as god intended

[keen falcon]

Mangaplus not having doublespreads when scrolling vertically pisses me fuckin off

[ashen perch]

even on digital

[trim lily]

they need to turn one piece into a webtoon to satisfy the mobile readers

[ashen perch]

they actually are doing that with FMA iirc

[trim lily]

unfortunately

[brittle basin]

on the CBZ software it looks like this by default

[trim lily]

it looked pretty bad lmao

[royal orchid]

they actually don't know their user base maybe

[ashen perch]

yeah because webtoon is a dogshit medium

[trim lily]

its the future

[ashen perch]

I read like what, 500 chapters of Tower of God I think?

and my most consistent thought throughout it was just ''oh man this medium fucking sucks''

[brittle basin]

I read Berserk all digital, all vertical, on my phone. And zoomed in at times.

[lofty fern]

So cute

[opal gull]

For me its just a habit now

to scroll and Zoom and then zoom out and scroll to next page again

[trim lily]

imu would wear glasses

[ashen perch]

insane

[opal gull]

I think Arsal has Skill Issue

[ashen perch]

those double spreads? on phone?

[trim lily]

arsal is old and no longer wise

[lofty fern]

he's so old, his eyes aren't what they used to be

[brittle basin]

for berserk the double spread pages were not split

[ashen perch]

yeah but they dont look good on phone still smh

[ashen perch]

tbh I am old, I cant physically read manga on a phone

it hurts my eyes, I cant see anything

[wraith mantle]

Real

[trim lily]

ive grown to prefer digital manga to physical

[brittle basin]

As I get older, it's much, much easier on the neck to read on a phone than a physical book. I can lift phone to eye level without having to worry about neck strain.

[trim lily]

though i still prefer physical books

[ashen perch]

I meant physically like, my own physical being doesnt allow me 😭

[brittle basin]

No, I still prefer physical manga.

I just like having digital backups.

[wraith mantle]

Nothing beats physical books mangas

[opal gull]

[ashen perch]

PC is convenient because I can see everything clearly

[wraith mantle]

We just cope for being broke by saying digital is better

[opal gull]

You use PC on a TV?

[trim lily]

nah the page creasing for manga is too annoying to me

[wraith mantle]

Page creasing?

[brittle basin]

the only thing that sucks with physical volumes is the binding nowtallowing you to see the full center without doing damage to the binding. This is where the big Berserk manga comes in handy.

[opal gull]

physical manga is just for collection

[trim lily]

in the center

[lofty fern]

I love them ❤️❤️

[wraith mantle]

Oh the annoying crease in the middle

[trim lily]

you lose like 1/5 of each page

[wraith mantle]

And double spreads are ruined too

[ashen perch]

nah, just a 27inch 2k monitor

[opal gull]

hmmm, well atleast you are normal there

[ashen perch]

TV would feel weird lol, thats too big

[trim lily]

reading manga on my tv

[ashen perch]

lmao

[fallen meteor]

2k? i just have two

[trim lily]

stack them up and make a 2k

[ashen perch]

I need all 2 thousand monitors to observe the server sorry

but yea, this is manga as god(a) intended

you have gotta understand that he especially sees everything as a 2 page canvas

[wraith mantle]

Thoughts?

[fallen meteor]

just had a vision

[distant vine]

Nah

[ashen perch]

its panelled for both pages to be viewed together, its panelled for you to immediately skip ahead to a full view of the next 2 pages

[fallen meteor]

what if

[ashen perch]

please

[trim lily]

as oda intended

[opal gull]

69 or 67

67...

[fallen meteor]

67

[opal gull]

Nooooo

[ashen perch]

youre killing the page turns too btw

with this vertical read thing

[opal gull]

it doesnt spoil

vertical >>>

It feels you are in full control of the pace

[ashen perch]

youre supposed to immediately see the next page

[trim lily]

yeah but i get to scroll down and find out just how long his face is here

you dont get that with a page turn

[opal gull]

sometimes I zoom in soo much that I can see only 1 panel at a time, so i enjoy the chap more

cause we get 1 chap a week anyways

why not take it slow

[ashen perch]

Oda especially is a master of the page turn

[trim lily]

anyway i actually prefer reading horizontally on desktop lol

[wraith mantle]

Is that all you gonna say 😭

Mf just said nah

[opal gull]

I think that is just movies

[ashen perch]

this works so well cause you see this immediately upon turning the page, you dont see it coming in the previous pages

[distant vine]

Kind of yeah lmao. I mean Im not tired of seeing it so I dont think it needs to go

[wraith mantle]

I see

[distant vine]

To get specific into One Piece, Im not tired of it from Oda either

[stone terrace]

What if i tied cinderblocks around your ankles and threw you into the gulf of mexico

[fallen meteor]

i read diagonally

[trim lily]

anyone here read left to right

[fallen meteor]

i'd drown

[ashen perch]

this is what vertical readers see as theyre struggling to move their finger to see the full page properly

[trim lily]

i wonder who this bald head could belong to

[keen falcon]

Which is peak

[distant vine]

I read all my manga right to left

[fallen meteor]

this makes it funnier

[keen falcon]

What's he doin with his face

[ashen perch]

no its not 😭

[opal gull]

nah, once you get good at it, this stuff doesnt happen

Skill Issue

[keen falcon]

Wait and see

[opal gull]

Mr Wise

[fallen meteor]

what i do while scrolling is just scrolling in chunks

[ashen perch]

theres no way you have actually ever managed to see a full page at once abdoo

[fallen meteor]

so i dont get half panels

[trim lily]

same mostly

[opal gull]

I am on laptop

[ashen perch]

what if you overshoot

[opal gull]

so i have

[opal gull]

nah mannnnnnn

[fallen meteor]

then i scroll back a bit?

[opal gull]

this doesnt NOT HAPPEN

[ashen perch]

I know it happens cause I have been there 6 or 7 years ago

[fallen meteor]

this is a sub second action

[soft tangle]

Use arrow keys

[trim lily]

they should introduce continuous horizontal scrolling

[ashen perch]

okay well you just got spoiled then

[fallen meteor]

i dont focus on the panel until its framed

[keen falcon]

Just don't observe it even in your vision, simple really

[ashen perch]

how do you tell that you overshot then

if you didnt focus on the panel

[fallen meteor]

i can see the borders

[keen falcon]

Observe the lines between

[trim lily]

this is kind of like kaido vs the scabbards

[ashen perch]

you dont have to make it a quick time event for you

[fallen meteor]

this is also how i avoid spoilers on twitter btw
i'm scrolling and if i see a block of text i parry it on my vision and scroll past

[ashen perch]

you can just read like its intended to

[keen falcon]

I don't got it physical

So no

[fallen meteor]

it has never failed me

[ashen perch]

I dont mean physical lol

[lofty fern]

As with anything, it depends on how well its written

[keen falcon]

I'll read it as best read on my phone, vertically

[soft tangle]

Just do horizontal one page…

[ashen perch]

you can basically recreate that vibe with 2 page mode

its the same thing essentially, just lacks the feel of the physical manga

which isnt a big miss

[soft tangle]

Nah

[keen falcon]

Too zoomed out

[soft tangle]

The miss is you can’t cover the left side

Usually you can put your hand there

[ashen perch]

uh I can

pretty easily lol

[soft tangle]

On what

[ashen perch]

why are you even looking on the left side till its time? I have never run into this issue

[brittle basin]

yeah the two page across a vertical phone neither feels nor looks right to me whenever i try it.

[ashen perch]

you read it in sequence, you know the right side is coming first

[distant vine]

I do a bad job of focusing on thr right side

[soft tangle]

^

[dense haven]

arsal was bought by viz its so over

[ashen perch]

also not true

[fallen meteor]

ShueishaWise

[ashen perch]

I have considered vertical reading evil for years tbf

[brittle basin]

seems fine to me. never had a single issue with it

[dense haven]

shueisha said you either join us or get 25 to life

[distant vine]

My argument would simply be horozontial is the intended experience so its better

[dense haven]

bro is a narc

[opal gull]

imagine if someone is disabled, so their right eye doesnt work and only the left works?

Scroll>

[dense rapids]

The Celestial Dragon

[ashen perch]

thats what I am saying yeah

[distant vine]

Id join too

[ashen perch]

the horizontal is how its intended to be read, manga is not drawn on scrolls

[opal gull]

Shueisha cant do anything

[brittle basin]

horizontal is how it's intended for sure

[distant vine]

I love having the volumes in my hands

[opal gull]

All they can do is strike for pfps and banners

which is pathetic as why is X even allowing that

[brittle basin]

but vertical just naturally feels right on the phone regardless of intentionality

[distant vine]

Maybe I could start buying boxsets...

So expensive to get it all tho

🥲

[lofty fern]

Hmmm....an actually good theory...

[ashen perch]

this isnt even true honestly

single page horizontal looks so much better on phone lol

[opal gull]

get the omnibus

new ones

[distant vine]

No

Id want the singles

No 3-in-1s

[opal gull]

I prefer 3 in 1s

[distant vine]

But the volume covers

😔

[brittle basin]

not for me

there's an ease of access with scrolling

[soft tangle]

Bruh

[distant vine]

I hate having my page cut in half

[ashen perch]

same

[wraith mantle]

True can’t disagree with that

[soft tangle]

Most detect the spread

[brittle basin]

He looks like Peter Griffin here.

[ashen perch]

likely cause its edited to look like Peter Griffin

[brittle basin]

Thigh...did you?

[rose rune]

I would never....

[brittle basin]

I'm proud of you

[ashen perch]

is that the only edit

[rose rune]

yeah

[brittle basin]

I like this edit

[ashen perch]

cause I looked across it like its where's wally and couldnt find it at first

[distant vine]

I think the PC reader has better options

[brittle basin]

PC reader definitely does

[ashen perch]

manga on PC is PERFECT

[brittle basin]

you can chose vertical or horizontal

[ashen perch]

youre not gonna get a better experience than that

[brittle basin]

double page is much easier on pc

[ashen perch]

I actually prefer it over physical because there's no book gutter

[soft tangle]

it’s harder to focus on the right side

[ashen perch]

PC>Physical>Phone

[brittle basin]

Sorry, but big Berserk volumes are the best way to read manga.

[ashen perch]

oh true true

[brittle basin]

it's just heavy

[ashen perch]

and the art also looks unreal

[opal gull]

I will read Berserk once I get those big books

[ashen perch]

you could kill a man with that

*not that you should

[brittle basin]

I would pay whatever for One Piece in the big volume Berserk way. Don't know if they'd ever consider it profitable though.

[ashen perch]

that and with new translations.....

thats the dream

[brittle basin]

Zoro baby

[ashen perch]

they HAAAAAAAAVE to redo pre ts

[opal gull]

I hope so

[ashen perch]

East Blue in particular is just awful

[opal gull]

like OP Deluxe edition

[brittle basin]

If they changed only Zolo to Zoro, that would be like a 95% upgrade alone lol

[opal gull]

with everything updated

[brittle basin]

and duke dogstorm. stupid name

[opal gull]

lol

[ashen perch]

I dont mind that as much as the silly localization choices and the piratey dialogue even when Oda never wrote it like that

oh and the fonts

[lofty fern]

Friends Joyboy and Imu hanging out together

[ashen perch]

the FONTS

[brittle basin]

shiver me timbers, me harteys!

[opal gull]

nice

[lofty fern]

Excuse me, the VIZ police would like a word 👮
