J-Comi website Previous topic: Mangaka Akamatsu Ken To Launch Free Download Service of Discontinued Manga Akamatsu Ken said the users have purchased significant number of items through the attached Amazon Associate program. He was perplexed to see they have bought not only his Negima manga but also USB cables and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei manga. He jokingly complained that it's humiliating to earn money with the help of Kumeta. The beta test of Love Hina download will end in one month and Akamatsu will decide whether to launch J-Comi service assessing the performance of the beta test. Source: Akamatsu's web diary |

| Love hina is kinda outdated.. and I hate its ending btw... was it continued by any chance?? |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| And Akamatsu tweeted yesterday: "All these downloads and not ONE AMAZON AFFILIATE PURCHASE?" Oh well. |
| Wow, that was a success. |
| That's great! I was really hoping this would do well. |
| that's just 1M in Japan, if he does this internationally I'm pretty sure it'll triple that and maybe more hopefully if it does prove useful we may see Negima! on there up for downloads as well as other manga from his collaborators.. |
| ....So Akamatsu has some kind of joking beef with Kumeta? |
 |
| Funny, I read that it was the other way around... |

| So, as far as I'm reading here, the downloading business beta version that Akamatsu's handling is a success, right? then what's with the.. underMebius said: vault2049 said: Funny, I read that it was the other way around... Yes, kinda misleading right? |
 -- I'm looking for "The One" and I'll find her more quickly if I audition two at a time. Think you can do better? -- -- The World God Only Knows -- Toaru Majutsu no Index -- Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai -- |
| I can't really tell with my limited japanese, but I think in the web dairy entry he added another paragraph to the tweet, apologizing for not understanding how Amazon counts the purchases. |

| Well that's nice... Though it would be nice if they released translated ones as well x\ AND more manga other than Love Hina and Negima in the future... underMebius said: vault2049 said: Funny, I read that it was the other way around... Yes, kinda misleading right? |
| They should add a donations button so they can keep i going for the people who do want it to work i would donate for something like this. |
| Good. With this business model coming up, acceptance for downloading manga will rise and soon all of my favourite manga will be up. Everything's going according to plan |
 |
| Akamatsu, Kumeta and Hata Kenjirou (Hayate no Gotoku) crack jokes at each other like this every once in a while. They're friends. |
 My kingdom for a bottle of plum juice! |
| its great they are doing this maybe others will follow suit |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |

And the ending...You're satisfied with a 4 ep. rushed ending?? |

| We all know this won't work. I'm pretty confident that the revenue won't cut it. |

And the ending...You're satisfied with a 4 ep. rushed ending?? Sorry, I figured a discussion about downloading manga you were complaining about the manga's ending, the anime ends way before the manga, and the ending I did hear stunk. We were talking about two different endings. And you said the biggest complaint was outdated, again I blame the anime, only good bit of the anime was Sakura Saku, the rest stunk. |
| My anime list |
| shame that the releases are not in english though. |

| not surprising cause love hina is a good manga |
