[Manga] OneManga Shutting Down

What publishers need to do is gather together somehow ala something as groan inducing as crunchyroll but offer something more enticing like perhaps how Telltale Games releases their content. Telltale Games releases episodic content and if you purchase all of a season's content they'll send you an actual box copy of the full season should you desire it. So what publishers could do is sell a subscription to view their content but at a severely reduced price allow you to keep digital content to put on ebook or view on your computer but if you buy enough chapters to complete a volume they would send you that particular volume for free should you want it. That's just an idea but I can imagine it would satisfy complaints about turn around time and also those that like having physical manga.

That said I'm doubtful that sort of thing will ever happen. You might have one or two publishers come out with something similar but one real place to visit and one subscription if reasonable would be desired more than the fragmented library we probably will receive paying one subscription for Shonen Jump and another for Del Rey and one for Viz and one for Tokyopop which is sort of unfortunate but I can see why they would do that.

In any case I'll continue to find my sources. They can never take away irc and it will be very difficult to start going after individual scanlators.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
