I... wish it didn't come to this... I would love to pay for the official releases of Bleach (and other titles I follow), and I do, (I recently went on a Bleach shopping spree and bought almost all the volumes that are out in English,) but as you mentioned, the official releases are often far behind... It's really annoying! Because people do it for free within a week, and the guys who are paid to do it professionally don't release it until years later. (Not that it's those people's faults, it's their superiors' faults.) But still... I understand the manga industry's reasonings but I still wish we could get our fill of manga at the same time as the Japanese-speaking fans. If only there were a manga-crunchyroll...

@Prophet of Sanghelios Ahh I have those kind of paranoid parents. It sucks. Took me months to persuade them to buy me my first cosplay. Even then, it took about two more months to get them to place the order. And they only did that because it's not something you can buy in regular stores. Manga, well, there's Borders, Barnes and Nobles, and the library... They'd never buy me that stuff online... D=
