Moving this over to a more appropriate topic…
So I started 先輩はおとこのこ yesterday after realizing that the VPN I already pay for does work to unlock the content on the website (meaning I didn’t have to go through the hassle of finding a new VPN). Read 4 chapters yesterday. Read the 5th chapter today and went to read the 6th chapter, only to see that you need to install the app to keep reading! I somehow completely failed to notice the little lock symbol and thought this whole time that the entire manga was available for free as long as you were on a Japan IP address.
Can someone who’s used the Line manga app before tell me if series are often free on the Line manga app or if there’s some kind of fee? Or if someone lives in Japan and doesn’t mind checking can you verify if the series is free in the app? The app is region locked to the Japan region store (Apple in my case), so I can’t even download it to investigate myself. I could probably find a way to get access to some sideloaded version of the Android app on my computer, but if the content is paid anyway it defeats the purpose.
Now I’m stuck halfway through the first volume of a series I wanted to binge read, where only half the series has been adapted to purchasable manga volumes. And even more annoying is that the first volume was half off on Amazon last week and I didn’t buy it since I had decided to read the web version!
