Manga sites like Crunchyroll Manga, Comixology, the Kindle store, Renta etc are performing a great service. The others are illegal, demoralising to creators and they actively harm sales. People who lap up the free manga on these scan sites seldom ever buy the original material (I wouldn't have a problem with it if they did, then used the translations to supplement their lack of language studies).  Many of them directly compete with licensed material, or harm the chances for unlicensed material to ever become licensed by saturating the market with a free, illegal alternative. I detest them.R</blockquote>
