Books naturally come in and don't forget some of them are older books not just released.
4th magazine is great depending on what it is if its just the same as the ones before its not much of a gain.
New employees have barely been hired its been a while since then.
Ehhh i take this one with a grain of salt sure boshi and a few others but cmon its mostly just a standard thanks that most artist would say its not like im asking for more but its not like fakku did something that amazing for them.
True but what's the difference from regular magazine updates, these just end up getting lost after a while to the regular updates.
They really need to advertise more or better or something currently most of their social media is terrible, like they don't advertise well at all.
I wouldn't call it a natural process to acquire a new book. Still have to license the books from the respective company. Also several artists have themselves advertised that their books will be legally coming overseas. Plus they are working with more companies now. That means other companies saw a big enough success rate that they decided that it would be worth it to test the waters with some of their books.
By "depending on what it is if its just the same as the ones before its not much of a gain.", I assume you are referring to Kairakuten BEAST. I am not gonna start arguing about that, all I will say is that I really want Kairakuten BEAST. Regardless of what magazine it is I will be happy...but I will be a bit disappointed if it's not BEAST. That's just my opinion though.
Just because it's not openly posted that new members are on board doesn't mean that new members haven't been hired. I don't see any company put an ad out in the paper after they hired a new starter.
I think Saitom himself asking FAKKU directly to please localize his book was a major plus no matter how you see it, and the EXTREMELY fast sell out the Saitom box was another.
Unfortunely I do not remember if it was the editor-and-chief or someone else but someone from I believe the Comic Kairakuten editorial department did come over. Now you can call that a sign of progress or not. The company obviously wanted to see the turnout of fans overseas who wanted to see Napata, and Saitom.
The difference is the fact that it is done with independent circles. The magazines pretty much have access to the original work they publish in the magazine and they spoke for the artists. These are independent circles who saw a way to get their work out there and the decided they wanted to take it. Naitou2 has given a large amount of their past works for translation. TSF no F announced long ago that they would release the countinuation to the I am a Succubus series. Again just my opionion here but I have enjoyed the Doujin releases more then some of the books and subscription service.
Regarding advertising I am not a marketing person, I see twitter posts of new chapters and book announcements, I think that's fine. Again I know nothing about marketing and advertising. When the day comes that they can erect a billboard with an obscene image on it to advertise I am sure they will do it...that day will never come though.
Bottom line we could argue bout this till the cows come home. I would rather not, so if you reply to this please note this will be my last post regarding this. I FOR THE MOST PART enjoy the service, do I wish certain things were done differently, yes, But I enjoy what I can get. If you are really against the site then list all your suggestions to the staff and if they take it under advisement and implement it great for you otherwise then this might not be the site for you.
