Just recently this new manga giant came onto the scene, and is making some huge steps in the manga industry. The company has expanded picking up publishers and artists along the way, the count stands at 39 major outlets and some huge titles such as One Piece and Fate Stay//Night. With there expansion into new genres and Indy content JManga is well on its way to become the biggest online community for digital manga.
Digital Manga is the future, but books will never fade they will simply become more expensive and printed less. With the closing down of major retail book outlets, and sales of e-readers and tablets have risen the future of Manga is favoring digital. I love my paper backs, and I will never get rid of them, but I also embrace the new as it is more cost effective and greener. Publishing books is a dirty process and creates a lot of waste product and requires a lot of chemicals and energy, but thats not to say that digital manga is any more green, servers and computers use a ton of energy, and e-devices take batteries which are very un-green to make and recycle. This is an interesting debate that will rage for years to come.
What do you think about JManga? What are your thoughts on Digital Manga? And what is your preference for reading, paper or digital?
