I think i've just realised recently that paying for manga helps everyone. Imagine you spent years writing a book or a manga... creating a movie or a tv show only to not make any money from it. You spent time and money doing something and you get nothing back
That's how all these writers feel when you read their cheap remakes online

For that you will need to publish your song and also need to add copyrights. If your contents are sold, you will get money. Well, I do understand your issue, though I think it is very subjective. we are talking about the Mangas sold internationally right?gemxtria said:

Already they earn in thousands. I don't think even if we don't pay directly that will effect them that much.

Tbh it’s not a black and white situation. For the ultra-popular stuff, that statement’s probably true, but for less popular stuff, they definitely aren’t making as much money as you think.
The niche stuff usually has more dedicated buyers, but they’re also the most fragile when it comes to getting canceled for international releases. There are plenty of series that got published in the US, but since nobody here bought it, they canceled the releases here. This also happens a lot with Japanese game franchises.

Actually, I was talking particularly about the Mangas that have English translation, obviously that must be too popular to have English translation, isn't it?

Not really. I could be spoiled by being American, which is one of the biggest markets for most things, but they publish damn near everything here. A lot of it is a combination of throwing things at the wall and seeing what would stick, and how some of the publishing deals work.
A lot of the publishing companies have a partnership with a specific Japanese publisher for near exclusive rights to their catalog. The US publisher Viz has a partnership with the Japanese company Shueisha, especially with their Shonen Jump line, so the vast majority of their manga will get published by Viz.
When you have a deal like that, you end up with a shorter list of what didn’t get translated, and opposed to what did. You can see on American Amazon that we have the most random obscure series for sale there, in English. You’d be shocked at some of the series that got translated, especially the light novel section.
