The reaction of Sankaku Complex users to the scathing comments of 2ch on the recent closure of One Manga has found its way back to 2ch and incited an even more biting response.
Their response to the closure of One Manga and the impudent reaction of Sankaku Complex users angry at having to use more inconvenient sources of pirated manga filled scores of threads across 2ch, and was soon picked up by any number of 2ch-centric sites.
A representative selection of their comments is translated below:
“You lot are always begging ‘give us the zip! give us the zip!’ – why is it now you suddenly start acting like you’re normal?”
“Oh come on, this is a fantastic business chance for publishers. If they don’t go for commercial digital distribution now they really are finished.”
“In America the censorship regime makes them change cigarettes into candy! How many mangaka and publishers are there interested in making that level of change!?”
“I was reading the latest Naruto in the convenience store – are the foreigners jealous of me? Forgive me, Sasuke…”
“‘We want to buy but we can’t! We’re making manga popular the world over!’ Die.”
“Just buy it and read you dirty misers!”
“Do these people feel any sense of guilt over what they’re doing to creators?”
“Serves you right, foreigners! It makes no sense at all for these manga to be available on the net in English first. Stop enjoying them before us Japanese even get them!”
“You guys sound pretty intellectual translated into English, don’t you now?”
“‘Ha Ha Ha – Serves you right!’ – someone translate this and tell it to them.”
“Pirates really do think the same the world over.”
“Impudent thieves.”
“‘Foreigner 1: Do all Japanese hate foreigners? Or is it just a minority? Or just 2ch?
Foreigner 2: Japs hate us all. Even the babies!
Foreigner 3: 2ch is how the majority of Japs think. They are polite in front of others, but behind your back they are secretly insulting you. Japs are xenophobes!’Pretty amazing that they go this far to dress themselves up as victims.”
“It seems people on the Internet always develop these persecution complexes – whatever the country.”
“‘Foreigner 4: 2ch is not representative of all Japanese! I like Japan.
Foreigner 5: Sorry. I like Japan too. The Japanese are just angry that we’re ripping them off.
Foreigner 6: 2ch is the scum of Japan.’The guys who understand really do understand!”
“Foreigner 6 – you are a genius.”
“‘Those Jump buyers are complete tools for waiting – hurry up and give us the zip!’
‘I don’t want to buy Jump just for One Piece. I’m glad they get uploaded at the same time as its release. I can keep up with what’s happening in this thread too.’
‘In this damn heat I don’t want to go out and read Jump – hurry up with the zip!’
‘It may only be $2 but it’s a nuisance once you’ve read it. Why won’t they just sell us One Piece without the rest?’
This is from 2ch’s Shonen Jump board.”
“Maybe this thread will be translated and become an article over there? Are you reading foreigners? If you want to read manga, be sure to learn Japanese!”
“With the market for digital manga coming up, these illegal sites are no good any more. Rawpara made $30,000, how much were those guys making…”
“Read your own country’s comics, bastards.”
“It’s a real mystery to me why these damn foreigners can’t get over the fact that you can’t just be reading all this stuff for free on a website.”
“Manga overseas costs $10 a volume though – way too much.”
“But American comics cost a fortune in Japan too…”
“It really is expensive over there. In spite of the fact the paper is shoddy rubbish…”
“Even the guys reading manga are always going on about JAP this and JAP that. Just liking manga doesn’t mean you like Japanese, I see. Japanese are really despised aren’t they?”
“Foreigners are just greedy swine by nature – that’s why they think manga is free.”
“I looked at the responses of the Sankaku inhabitants (not that I’m lumping them together with all foreigners) – pretty amazing.
It’s expensive, 99% of manga is crap, it’s translated because Japanese are uploading it, because they ripped off western culture – their excuses were all on that level. The worst ones are the ones going on about racism or xenophobia though.”
“You hairy foreigners should shut up and wait for your own great mangaka.”
“Compared to Japan and its complete absence of a digital publication market, isn’t consciousness about this much higher over there? Amazon have Kindle and stuff…”
“There are already all kinds of pirated manga on the American Kindle. They’re a real pack of thieves.”
“If all manga fans the world over start thinking manga=free, the manga industry is finished.”
“Even in Japan a lot of young people think that, about games and music too. I hope they really crack down on these sites.”
“Why do these foreigners act so high and mighty when they are reading for free?”
“This reminds me of that damn Rapelay fiasco.”
“Thanks to that we got worked over. Seriously, die you filthy foreign scum.”
“1. Foreigners pirate our manga and develop a taste for it.
2. Foreign big-wigs say ‘This content is violent! Ban it, Japan!’
This is a real problem. If publishers adapt their publications to foreign markets then OK, but just translating the original and spreading it amongst foreigners is a problem!
Do you understand this you dirty foreign scum?”
“Don’t those white pigs comprehend the concept of a thief being ashamed of being caught?”
“Blaming the victims of your own crimes, shifting responsibility to anyone else but you, justifying your own criminality. Total scum, every last one of them.”

The fact of the matter is this. SCANLATING MANGA IS WRONG. Plain and simple. No if ands or buts. Now as I say this I realize how big of hypocrite I am seeing as how I am not exempt from downloading pirated material in the forms of manga and anime. Do I feel guilty...meh~...maybe a bit. Without a doubt my guilt stems from the fact that I KNOW that what I am doing is wrong. Why do I do it? It's been stated already. $20 for a volume of anime is goddamn ridiculous, not to mention that 90% of the shit that I want to read is censored to the point that it makes me want to rage.
I find the comments that some of the people from this website, as well as those on 2ch to be highly offensive. Guess what? It's fucking manga! Both parties need to grow the fuck up.
In the end I'm glad that Onemanga has been shut down, but in now way shape or form will this put an end to scanlations.
"The fact of the matter is this. SCANLATING MANGA IS WRONG. Plain and simple. No if ands or buts."
That it is.
"I find the comments that some of the people from this website, as well as those on 2ch to be highly offensive. Guess what? It's fucking manga! Both parties need to grow the fuck up."
It has nothing really to do with manga. It is "the west" (basically the U.S.A.) vs Japan. This is tame compared to what it would be if it was Korea or China on the receiving end of 2chans "wrath".
The artist should set up a donation page where westerners who read their manga can pay them directly for their work since the publishers basically removed from the equation.
So in other words you're saying that they are trying to make this place as 2ch bitch right?
I mean they took a lot from Korea or China before so I guess it's just something for them to vent against before they get overun by who normally overuns them I guess.
"The fact of the matter is this. SCANLATING MANGA IS WRONG. Plain and simple. No if ands or buts."
Ya scantilation is wrong.
"I find the comments that some of the people from this website, as well as those on 2ch to be highly offensive. Guess what? It's fucking manga! Both parties need to grow the fuck up."
Trolls trolling trolls.
Anyway atm it is trolls (2chan) trolling trolls (Sankaku and 4chan anon) trolling trolls (2chan) trolling...
We need to get 4chan, 2chan and sankaku together on a webiste somewhere and get in to the greatest trolls wars the internet will ever see.
Lol ok so it might take 30 minutes for a post to show up.
but if we grew up...then we shouldn't be reading manga. Scanning is never wrong. Is it wrong to share books? Is it wrong to share movies? Is it wrong to share video games? If any of that is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

Hairy foreigners? Our vagina comes shaved in America!
And our balls too.
Not everyone on this site is a dirty baka AIMeriKKKan.
Some enjoy such pleasures in superior Canada. <3
I think that if American publishers translated anything that people want the industry would probably increase a little... not that they don't but most of it is generic...
Lol, angry hikikomori.
“This reminds me of that damn Rapelay fiasco.”
I hope he/she realizes this was in fact a result of their own spineless politicians that it got so out of hand.
It blew over and became no longer interesting after a few weeks out here in the west. Hell it never actually made the news in Canada.
“If all manga fans the world over start thinking manga=free, the manga industry is finished.”
Considering the western manga market is a tiny proportion of overall sales, I think the manga thieves in Japan are having a far larger effect on the manga situation then the western ones.
What I mean is, remove the westerners from the equation totally, the manga industry would still be in the shitter.
Anyway what needs to happen is for 4chan, 2chan and sankaku to get together somewhere and have a death match.
Anyway it is trolls (2chan) trolling trolls (sankaku + 4chan sankaku members and anons) trolling trolls (2chan) trolling...
Japanese are only pissed because foreigners get more pussy than they do...
Haha, I find it hilarious that everybody likes japanese babes but nobody gives a damn about japanese guys...
^_^
Japanese babes dont even like Japanese guys, hence the declining birth rates/marriages. They are bored waiting for them to come out of their rooms, so they just hook up with the first foreigner they see. Theirs a reason why Japanese babes think its "cool" if you can bag a Foreigner.
There are some japanese dudes I'd totally do. Although I prefer the babes.
tl;dr wwwww
brb, enjoying my scanlations.
1041 comments at the time of posting.
Artefact must be thinking that all is going according to keikaku.
Owowow the japs are getting cocky! I guess it's time to drop some nuclear warheads like in the good old times!
Uuuuuuuh sorry I know this comment is harsh and crude but please allow me to enrage those 2ch fags a bit ok? :)
Humans are idiots.
We as a race have successfully made it so sharing art can hurt us.
So that crossing a border that doesnt naturally exist hurts someone.
Money=the biggest waste of our time we have ever invented.It makes all these things that would be simple into something twice as hard.
thats what this story is.
an example of how yet again there is no such thing as an intelligent being.
"You hairy foreigners should shut up and wait for your own great mangaka"
really? not that they've seen a real one but do i need to comment on the bush's of jp women?
Why bother waiting, we already have those that can make stories, though not manga, but they are at least have better stories
I will listen to these 2ch people when they finally get a life and back to the real world. Until then, go kill yourself in your 2D world losers.
1000 comments GET!!!!!
Your comments won't stop me from fapping to your goddesses or your porn.
Its not like they ever scanned Twilight Books and translated them in Japanese.. yea its only all us corrupt foreigners actually doing what humans do...
One guy got it right. Who the hell are buying the Manga Raws and putting them online for people to Translate? Yea Japanese people.
I dont even understand some of these complaints. Some say that we get Translated Manga even before they get Raw Manga (impossible). Some are angry about scans while some are angry that they are in english? wtf? Do they even know what issue they are angry about anymore? Not going to lump everyone but some of them on 2ch are obviously xenophobes. Hell, even Square Enix and other game companies went on the record saying they are catering more games to foreigners lately because of xenophobic Japanese. Obviously Japanese Fans were angry about it and called them Sell Outs, cause humans dont like to admit their flaws, these guys are just companies who want to make $ no matter where they can get it.
Manga Sales are going down just the same way Book Sales are going down all over the World. Simply put, people are losing interest in Books. Todays World is much faster and their are quicker and easier ways of obtaining information. Books (like Manga) are a dying breed. Other Publishers/Authors attribute that to the times, while Japanese ones blame it on other people. Wee.
If they can find some reasonable Pay to Read Digital Distribution Service that both sides can agree on, make that, and call it a day.
exept for "If they can find some reasonable Pay to Read Digital Distribution Service that both sides can agree on, make that, and call it a day."
i wish you had read what i posted, would save you from losing time saying that.
agreed.
"Its not like they ever scanned Twilight Books..."
Why would *anybody* ever want to do that!?
actually it can happen. that is the netizens getting manga before an actual person in japan. the digital highway moves closer to the speed of light than any traditional form of transport.
It seems they think that no Japanese pirate manga/anime/games at all and it's all the fault of us damn foreigners.
While I don't condone piracy (and my large paid manga/dvd/figure collection will attest to my support of the industry), sometimes it's the only way English speakers can get access to some titles (in particular ones that have been dumbed down and edited to reach mainstream America's level).
So in the end, if there weren't Japanese providing the raws, there would be much less floating around in the internet.
I guess 2 nukes just weren't enough. We own you bitches, we can do whatever we want with your intellectual property. Learn your place!
far as I know personal rage is no more but I will say this pirating, it'll always exist and you schmuks on 2ch are no better than us we get manga, anime the whole freakin she-bang.
You get anything that's american, day-time TV soap opera's the works
Yeah Im lookin at you one who's watchin General Hospital!
Japan surely loves to think that foreigners are all Americans and rant that all foreigners are dirty, disgusting and evil.
Anyways...
A married a 2D girl. Try to troll me now damn 2ch!
This is really a tremendous amount of anon trolls.
Over feeding has led to a population boom, we need to introduce a natural predator of some sort
Was I supposed to care what 2chan has to say about anything?
Heck I regularly dump on half of the guys here myself :)
Manga sells or it doesn't sell on the strength of the thinking of the people that make it. If their sales suck, it's not our (the market) fault.
I speak English, hence I am not about to read manga in Japanese. But my money's just as good to get. If they don't WANT my money, fine.
The internet though has no borders and cares not for borders. If someone translates it, it becomes available to anyone that wants it.
Refusing to sell to me only accomplishes one thing. You don't get any of my money.
Oh no, 2ch is calling us....things. What shall we do?
Oh yeah, not give a crap. I've done it from the beginning
this is sooo ridicilous !! they should be glad that we are scanlating mangas really.. i read && find new mangas at those siting sites like mangafox or onemanga.. when i like it i always go and buy the manga so they should see it as an art of promotion.. yeah i also feel guilty for them at the same time cause there are ppl who publish their works without their approval but they didn´t have to scold us "foreignors" that bad u know that is just RUDE.. i always thought japanese ppl were nice and all but most of them are really only twofaced ppl -.-
i´m really pissed off right now !! so u know what? i´m not going to buy any manga anymore they can kiss my a** ^^ if they also take mangafox down then i´m gonna go and write a complaint to those mangakas.. just what do they expect from us? those hosting sites are the only way for us to find new manga and read mangas that are rare.. u know some book stores don´t even sell them so what are we supposed to do? i´m gonna go and enjoy my last time on onemanga till it gets closed down :´( thank u onemanga for every scanlation u made and everything u made for us !! we really appreciate it :´(
why so much racism? We are all humans why those guys act like if they live in the jap isolation period?
guess the internet annonymity brings out the inner asshole to anyone those days.
"why so much racism? We are all humans why those guys act like if they live in the jap isolation period?

Good troll or doesn't realize "jap" is racist.
hmm...its true in ww2 "jap" was offensive, but nowadays i think of "jap" as a mere short for "japanese", i might be wrong as well as the Anonymous-04:18 guy tough.
-----
"guess the internet annonymity brings out the inner asshole to anyone those days."
agreed. Just look at all troll-like / hatefull comments on this very thread, you will see that 95%+ are from "Anonymous" guys! ''o.0
“Even the guys reading manga are always going on about JAP this and JAP that. Just liking manga doesn’t mean you like Japanese, I see. Japanese are really despised aren’t they?”
It still is.
Why wont Western publishers learn from OneManga if OneManga was making a substantial amount of money. Just copy them and let advertising pay for them
sure is butthurt in here.
oh no! 2ch has invaded.
counter invasion!
When 2ch stops translating and uploading the latest South Park or Simpsons episodes, then they can tell "foreign scum" to stop translating and uploading the latest Naruto or One Piece manga.
Don't you love how Valve edited the cover of 'Left 4 Dead' by insuring all digits remained out of cultural fear with Japanese all around four fingered hands~
Yet 'The Simpsons' has been airing since 1989! Showing up in merchandise and cola every since coming there.. With All FOUR fingers!!! pc Bullshit knows no bounds~
Prolly 'cause it's easier to add one extra digit to a cover, while re-animating every Simpsons episode to add an extra digit would take too long...
Fallout 3 was censored in Japan because the pussies don't like anything that has nukes in it.
Why would I give a damn about some fat Japanese otaku and what they think. I shit you post about them makes me laugh. 2ch=losers
Those cute littl' 2nuthings~ got all tiffy and sniffy and haughty be all about all them dirty rotten gaijins a' stealing their small littl' heritage~
Reminds me of those annoying little shit guinea chickens I had back in thailand, screeching all out almost every day under my window.. but gratefully, I left that scum hole to better pastures with the final handing over of them to the locals. I stuck around for the prepping of dinner on them too~
Metaphorically; I expect no difference for the trolling hoards of 2ch denizens. Be it becoming a no nothing fly on the wall OL or salary sorta man. Or better yet; some hikkokimori weed finally losing both parents to age and driven out of their caves by land/government/local sharks or Yakuza thugs and into the dank corners of the street still typing out on their ghost PCs...
tick~ tock~
I don't read american comics because they don't have lolis
Machine translation:
A recent event, the student who had done UP ..cartoon.. unlawfully in the net in Japan was arrested.
A still severe abuse was poured on this student in 2ch.
It is KUREYON-SHINCHAN event for the copyright of the cartoon to have come to be talked with 2ch very severely.
If it was Japanese, KUREYON-SHINCHAN that was a cartoon as famous as known cartoon and every DORAEMON was registered and the copyright was registered unlawfully domestically in China.
To sell shoes, the bag, the child book, and the toy whose publisher in Japan is a commodity of this cartoon in China, authorization was not able to be taken in the court in China.
It was necessary to pay the royalty to Chinese who unlawfully registered the copyright if it sold it in China.
At that time, it is an event of the cartoon that calls a serious echo now though also understood also by Chinese that KUREYON-SHINCHAN is what the Japanese made.
最近の事件だけど、日本では漫画をネットに不法にＵＰした学生が逮捕されました。
２ｃｈでは この学生に対して、やはり厳しい罵倒を浴びせました。
２ｃｈで漫画の著作権が非常に厳しく語られるようになったのは、
ＫＵＲＥＹＯＮ-ＳＨＩＮCHAN 事件です。
日本人なら誰でも知っている漫画、ＤＯＲＡＥＭＯＮ と同じくらい有名な漫画である
ＫＵＲＥＹＯＮ-ＳＨＩＮCHANが、中国の国内で不法に著作権の登録がされました。
日本の出版社が中国で この漫画の商品である 靴、鞄、児童本、おもちゃ を販売するのに
中国の裁判所で認可が取れなかったのです。
もし中国で販売するなら不法に著作権を登録した中国人に著作料を払わなければいけなかったのです。
今では中国人も ＫＵＲＥＹＯＮ-ＳＨＩＮCHAN が日本人が作ったものだ と判っていますが、
当時は大変な反響をよんだ漫画の事件です。
うわ～すっげえ
中国人めホントに恥知らずだな
Ok, I have to say the trade marks can be registered by anyone, even if individuals. You cannot blame for those people act before you. Blame yourself for the ignorance of this market instead. As I recall, Japanese registered many Chinese famous trade marks like "Zhang Xiao Quan" or "Gou Bu Li" domestically before these brand entering Japanese market. Japanese don't have the background to scold others. 日本人は他人を責める立場がない。
2ch is never a good representative of Japan.It's more like all the scum in Japan aggregated into a swarm of NEET.You guys shouldn't take anything they say seriously....
wait. Japanese people buy that shit? I thought it was for free lolz
Irony fucking overload.
Trolls everywhere you look, nothing to see here.
Kinda hate 2ch in some way
黙れゲス
lol
Damn japanese racist scums, they think all english speakers are from USA, look like 2 nukes wasn't enough! xD
just so you know, 2ch ppl include me and are not commenting seriously. Therefore enjoy this war!
Japanese otakus are so much creepier than foreigner otakus, its only natural they are scums.
if reading non-licensed manga on the net for free is wrong, then I don't wanna be right...
Seconded
うん、２ｃｈは漫画とかを不法にＵＰする人が嫌いみたいだな
でも、俺たち外国人のファンが翻訳する日本語の漫画も２ｃｈから来るのだよ
２ｃｈの人々は漫画のネタも写真もUPする
俺は以前２ｃｈから漫画のzipをダウンしたことがある

HOLY FUCKING BATMAN SHITS!
I just saw the comment count and it broke the 1000 mark! Can someone please tell me if this is the most commented post ever?
"1. Foreigners pirate our manga and develop a taste for it.
2. Foreign big-wigs say ‘This content is violent! Ban it, Japan!'"
Factually ignorant. All the calls to ban things have originated from within Japan. The rest of the world doesn't give a shit and just accepts that Japan is weird.
It's 2ch. They simply love to play the game "Blame the Gaijin!" for every thing happening in Japan
correct
Either "Blame the Gaijin" or "Blame the Koreans" for every single friggin' thing in Japan, really.
Translate this, 2ch, and accept the truth.
It is supremely hard to understand your own culture, let alone one you haven't experienced first hand. Lack of knowledge leads to uncertainty, uncertainty leads to fear and hatred. Sometimes. Sometimes the same lack of knowledge leads to curiosity and budding interest, which guides one to put themselves in a position to experience part of the culture. It really depends on the person; some people are curious and like new or foreign things, some don't and avoid them. Most people don't care either way, and aspire to nothing more than living an isolated, happy life in their comfortable little bubble of familiarity.
People are people, who are people, though. Wherever you go, that holds true. There is no universal opinion when dealing with large numbers of people; general statements like "Everyone here loves/hates X" is stupid. Dissent is ever-present.
On the note of manga, a lot of people want to buy it but can't. This could be because they're poor, this could be because the stuff isn't available, this could be because learning Japanese and getting it there is incredibly difficult and unfeasible for most folks. What's the solution to this for people who really like something but have no legal access to it?
Stealing is wrong. Usually. Wow this thread is gigantic.
One last thing, don't consider anonymous commenters as sankaku members !!!!
It's insulting for the usual members of the websites who really love Japan, japanese manga, japanese culture and japanese people and believe in the US-World-Japan friendship. Sankaku members are proud to like Japan and to like manga. They are often civilised and well-minded. Please stop confusing us with the brainwashed, japan hating, stupid, teen, ignorant and close minded anonymous users.
Thanks you.
you are an anonymous commenter too! total idiocy!
please japanese people, don't consider the comments of this maggot as if it were a sankaku member: he is an idiot who started to write crap and we hope he will go away ASAP!
Hey Japan, thanks for the free manga, you'll never beat pirates ;)
Lol YHBT.
Wait, people say this and then claim that foreigners accuse Japanese people of being racist?
But wow, never realized that 2ch comments are on the same level as Sankaku ones...
2ch is more racist
At least, most Westerners buy manga at the end. I admit piracy is wrong and bad and that we shouldn't do that. It's sad publishers are slow and many great manga don't appear here at all. Official online trade and alliance with scanlation teams is perhaps the key for japanese companies. But yes it' won't stop because many people are greedy and don't like to spend money.
But in my opinion, Japan and 2chan must fight their real enemies the chinese (and the koreans) who copy mangas and translate them without paying anything. Some chinese websites and companies even make money with that selling the complete translated manga in volumes in pdf and in any languages you ask. They even print them and sell them with both the governement's authorisation and blind eyes in front of the policemen.
They also provide raws to US and European translations teams. In my opinion we could ally against them and find a common enemy who doesn't obey to any copyright laws at all. After all, copying and translating piracy in China is a worse economic "pain in the ass" for japanese companies than the light piracy in a western world which buys manga and after all respect the japanese culture.
I am sorry many posters here don't think before to speak and bash japan and japanese citizens. If you read the website, you would see that we in fact love Japan and not only for the ladies.
2chan posters and sankaku posters are alike and share the same views about the world piracy and ladies alongside the same self minded arrogance. Really this "war" is stupid and should stop. We are brothers and we share things.
We have worse enemies to fight together.
what a retarded speech, japanese ppl probably are laughing to this big maggot!
why japanese should be friends with you?!
you are like every other parasite that sucks their manga when japanese people have to pay for them. at least, have the courage to say that you are like any another parasite. hypocrite!
Basically, it's because of the Chinese and Koreans that causing manga to fail.
Are you a 2ch-tard?
To: 2ch
From: Sankaku
Dear 2ch, hugs and kisses!
Sincerely,
Pyrolight
Don't bother, one of them commented that they compliment racism.
Why can't we all just... get along haha.
I've heard 2ch was full of trolls and retards. Now I know its full of racists too. xD
They are already racist, they just love bashing Korea very much
and they all have tiny penises
2ch is the scum of japan just like 4ch is the scum of america. nothing new to see here folks.
i can't help but be shocked about some of their responses though. judging by what they write, it looks like all japanese always buy their manga, and all foreigners always get it for free online. sso the japanese never go online to read manga for free? if that's true, i will suck my own dick.
I don't think Japs nowadays know about World War II. Their History lessons are like their AVs. School kids in Japan probably think they won the war. Seriously, I looked it up.
If you really don't want your comments to be posted in 2ch, talk about the war. They might learn a thing or two. Nanking? Bloody hell. Like perverts being given God mode. 2ch trolls are probably the grandsons/granddaughters from those "soldiers". I expect alot of things from Japan and tolerate them because I love the culture and language. But arrogance? W.T.F.
Thieves? Better than rapist and murderers. The victims were unarmed civilians so add cowards, please. Raping, murdering cowards. Dear GOD, the ARROGANCE I read in those responses. And the HATE. I googled "did the Japanese apologized for Nanking" and a "why should we apologize" popped up.
The worst part is, given the chance, I believe that they'll probably repeat incidents like Nanking and be damn proud of it (judging from those responses).
I just want to add, I don't hate Japan, but I am amazed with how they feel about foreigners in the Net. Not just about manga but their games, too. Frankly, it ticks me off. The hatred and arrogance seems raw and genuine... and it's just sad.

LOL what kind of harm are we doing to them anyways ><? The same amount of manga will still be bought in Japan whether or not we translate them and put them online, its not like they can read English anyways. I just don't get it......... They don't really lose money unless they all suddenly know how to read English lololol We're actually helping them by promoting the manga
They hate foreigners, yet they want to look and act like them. How many "Japanese" characters in anime actually look asian? Not many. Most of them have blond/red/brown hair and round blue/green eyes.
Face it Nihonjin, you are all ORIENTAL; you don't look much different than the Chinese or Koreans you despise so much. Bleaching your skin, "fixing" your slanted eyes, and wearing contacts won't make you white.
[sarcasm]Oh wow I feel soooo insulted by being called dirty foreign scum by a bunch of otaku that even other japanese people think of as worthless human beings.
Yeah i'm so insulted right now [/sarcasm]
the real question is this, when has anything that someone from 2ch has had to say, really fucking mattered?
that's right, never...
