I actually have a bootleg copy of hikaru no go anime DVD. I bought it second hand from a seller on facebook who probably bought it from overseas. It gave me an example of what to look out for when buying blu-ray and DVDs (multiple languages in the back is a big sign as well as different cover art). It did work on my DVD player but the quality is really bad.

As a Malaysian manga collector, this is true and very embarrassing. The sad part is... most of Malaysian did not realize they are buying bootleg mangas because some of them (the bootleg publisher) had an official store in several hypermall. Growing up, I used to buy lots of them and thought that they were legit. All the mangas are super cheap. Plus the quality are quite believe able (but not as good as the original copy, of course).They published popular manga and even had Blue Lock in english! Right now, Im doing my best to show support for the mangakas by buying the originals. This year, Im planning to showcase more original mangas in my youtube channel and hopefully to spread awareness about this serious issues among Malaysian. As a youtuber and a comic artist myself.

actually the real reason why all these bootleg publisher came out recently cause the actual legit licensed Malaysian publisher like ToraAman, ComicHouse, etc. closed down in 2017. also original manga by Viz cost like $12-$20 in Malaysia. Since our GDP is garbage compared to american (minimum wage in Malaysia is like $250 a month for a full-time job, 8 hour a day, 6 day a week), it's really hard for the average peoples to buy the original one. they need to figure out a way to make the manga cheaper. maybe open a printing store in Malaysia so they can make the price cheaper. cause they can get same quality printing materials for like 4x cheaper in Malaysia.

I’ll keep the manga in my collection but I will definitely research the sellers and publishers more- I definitely knew something was off about the manga because it was really warped and the printing on some of the covers was off, and the colours of the volumes were also not the same on the bridges of the manga (where it is supposed to be the same, I mean).

This sure helped me noticed that the manga i bought was fake but it was the only manga that i have that is fake. Honestly i was surprised that it was cheap but i also thought it was a normal price because some bookstores that sells mangas cost 35 ringgit. I will keep on a lookout and see which of my mangas are fake which i have 3 out of 30 mangas that i have but this sure helped me out. Most of these company are either WOS Limited or TR Media but all the others i was are Viz And Shogakukan. And if there any malaysian trying to buy official mangas i would recommend kinokuniya or affortable but offical popular bookstore

Honestly, if something is that far out of print and unavailable digitally/someone wants a physical with no signs on reprints in sight, I say go for it. Sure the quality isn’t up there and you aren’t supporting the industry but neither is buying exaggerated prices for used or reading scans. I look at it like repros of old Nintendo games. Buying used for a shitload of money when they won’t bother to rerelease is just dumb. That is unless it’s still a current manga being released. In that case it makes no sense. Lol

I've been looking at buying several series (like, say, Black Lagoon) and unless i want to pay $200 a piece for used copies of volumes 2-6, my option is the bootlegs (though I should note that's because I do NOT trust digital copies, lost quite a bit of money on digital media before).

But if you read it online(pirate it) you don't support the medium, but you also don't lose money.

I couldn't find a viz or shonen version so I started looking on ebay and I found what I thought was a limited version. Scalping is very much a thing and with the anime coming I figured it was people who bought the manga boxes in bulk and are reselling them. I really like chainsaw man and the shipping was in the US so I thought it was safe. Well I posted on reddit about it and people I formed me that it was a fake. That being said, the quality for mine is actually really good. The box is really nice. It came with 4 prints, and the quality in comparison to the original is pretty much indistinguishable. I l ow because I went to a books a million and checked with a few of their individual volumes they had there.

I honestly have just chaned how i see it. I cant get Berserk in English, its 1200aud. For the Omnibus, its still hundreds of dollars and they can be more than that. But Malaysia has 'alternatives', its the same with overpriced DBZ plastic crap, you can pay $400 for some random ape statue, or get a decent bootleg for $40. I dont understand what world they think we are living in where we afford shit like that. The fact that dark horse do not continually print certain series is just criminal, if they are not, then there should be other alternatives rather than just one company we all fucking wait for, making the product they leave behind creating a vacuum and unstable ridiculous prices for shit like dvds and paper. Id rather it not be that way, but the companies are responsible for creating scarcity for really popular and in demand works.

Personally I think that these manga are not a bad thing.If you dont have that much money but still want to read popular series you should bnuy these.They are basically the same with a bit less quality.I know that you aren't supporting the mangaka but since manga normally is 10 bucks and you read it in 30 minutes I understand why people dont have money to buy them.If you just want to read the manga,you can buy these ones,they re almost the same but cheaper.

I literally just ordered manga for the first time and I just found out that it was fake. It cost me 240 dollars. I'm not exactly mad and I'm still gonna read it because I really want to know what happens in the manga that I'm reading but I just very annoyed about that I got scammed.

Still salah dan jenayah, bro. TR Media, Comic Paradise, Kreko tu takde lesen pun untuk print dan publish manga. Dulu ada Comics House dan Tora Aman yang ada lesen sah dari pihak publisher Jepun, orang tak support, diorang bungkus pun sebab dah kurang orang beli manga, lebih2 masa zaman gst najib yang buat diorang rugi gila gila tu. Sekarang ni yang ada lesen sah ialah Gempakstarz dan ACGNation je, tu pun sebab diorang dah jadi anak syarikat Kadokawa, publisher terbesar Jepun.

If VIZ can print it n sold it outside kino that was the best i can think...

@shinyanakagawa8241 2 жыл бұрын

@@sahirulizanbinyusopkpm-gur3720 It doesn't matter which store you end up buying it. VIZ is the one who decides the price tag. You still have to pay RM30-50 for a volume of manga published by VIZ even if it is sold in MPH or Popular or any kedai buku tepi jalan. Point aku ialah masa Comics House dan Tora Aman beroperasi dan jual komik Jepun dengan harga RM5-8 dulu, takde orang nak support, bila diorang dah bungkus pergi pulak support bisnes-bisnes haram yang print buku tanpa lesen sah. Tak faham aku. Anyway, aku takde la kaya, gaji cukup makan je, tapi aku still boleh beli komik dekat kino tu. Jangan kedekut sangat untuk hobi.
