Hello there, hope this question isn't to weird..
With quite some titles for a long long time shoujosei is getting old revivals etc.
I'm joyous for those, it opens a lot of chances to exposing the demographic. But also this could be a reason they'll give strong enough against piracy in some distant future hypothetically...and affordability is always an issue. Unless you are willing to expend good, buying a few of your fav series is one thing but entire series? Of how many?? I feel conflicted as someone who can't afford and I start thinking of questions like entertainment is a privilege huh...but also this is someone's livelihood too so.. it'd be great if we get a wsj style digital affordable platform but that's a far dream I think??
Your thoughts if any??😅
Your question isn't weird dw!! I also think entertainment is a privilege ( not everyone can afford going to the cinema for instance). I also would love a digital affordable platform solely for shoujosei titles like they are in Japan but for now, we will have to accommodate with the ones existing like kmanga, jump, ect who do have some shoujo titles. The problem for many (including me) is that many of these apps are only available in the USA & Canada. I hope they change this 😔 and I hope they make it a membership/monthly paid instead of point system because that hurts my pockets more 🗿 your worry about piracy is kinda silly for me tho. Piracy is impossible to stop even if they make ALL titles available in many languages and AFFORDABLE, there will always be someone out there reading it for free in a sketchy website lol I mean, it's a privilege to be able to pay for reading manga and not everyone has that privilege. Lastly, where there's will, there's a way. I have read manga for YEARS abd every time a website is taken down, new ones appear. So don't worry too much, anon.
