1. Learn Japanese or be patient.
2. Learn Japanese or be patient.
3. I don't understand why would people complain about missing something they can't even read. It's not publishers' fault that people can't read Japanese or afford to buy everything that comes out. These publishers only want to protect what they invest in.
People in Japan are luckier than people in English world because almost everything in English is translated to Japanese, but even so they don't buy everything that comes out.
Also, just because English world doesn't always bother to translate anything in Japanese to English, it doesn't mean it's OK for English readers to take without paying a penny.
If you want manga in English or Polish, then encourage publishers in your country to license titles that interest you personally. They will listen, especially if there is a clear indication there will be a profit waiting for them.
I do understand what you're saying, but I think it's cheeky to use lack of money and language as reasons to justify the right to take or to complain. I also don't think it's right for people to complain about something they shouldn't have in the first place. Raw scans are an illegal privilege, not a right.
