By searching the Japanese title and the correctly translated English title on Amazon you can find a sketchy looking version. I was wondering if they were legit as they are named, "Angel X Devil Manga: Can't Help Falling in Love!" Which is so far off from the translation it is laughable. They list no publishers but all feature the same cover for this digital release, which is also sketchy, but the cover art is without a doubt the mangaka's art. What really was sending red flags is that they released 6 volumes of this digitally on the same day which was July 25th and still to this day has no reviews or even news of this supposed release online.

Want to get all of your thoughts on this as, to me at least, it looks like someone is stealing the author's work but I could be wrong as I dont know the workings of Amazon. They also don't list the author/ publisher in the usual section but instead have the name, Torsten D Austerlitz, instead. This could be the translator but looking up his name provides no results which is weird.

I read the sample for all the volumes and I am 100% convinced this is a person trying to get a quick buck. The typesetting is completely identical to all the translation groups that contributed to this manga thus far just showing how they ripped their translations, edited out TL group pages/ watermarks and are trying to make a buck. If anyone knows if there is a report button that would be very much appreciated.
