  As always, it's not a price problem, it's a service problem. Since Japanese publishers hate getting Manga outside the country it seems like, it's a self inflicted wound.

    Indeed. This this truly a WTF issue. And it gets even worse when you are not from US, like EU.

    I have a big physical manga collection, but I can’t imagine paying a single cent to access manga digitally, let alone a subscription. For each one on my collection, I’ve already pirated digitally to read them. But I’d rather keep a permanent physical copy than being allowed to read it each month for a price.
