Hi there anon, I was wondering how people overseas can directly

buy digital?

Tell them to set up patreon or japanese equvalent like shindol.

Sometimes you really can't. International business isn't exactly easy, so supporting artists is a hard thing to do unpess there are official products you can buy in the U.S.
If there are official products, buy them.
If not, wait indefinitely.

Send letters of encouragement, in which you pretend to be a little girl. Show confusion at the more mature parts of the plot, but say it's all amazing. Use flowery language and use hearts for dots. Ask the author if you can call him onii-sama, since you already think of him that way.
Attach a coupon for one hand-made bento.

send cash via usps

I just noticed that there are translated digital copies on amazon. I'll buy a few copies here then. I wish I could have an actual physical copy though but I guess since I've already read the content I should pay for it any way I can.

>>160914165
how do you know if a product is official? What websites do people usually use to import that kind of stuff and make sure the money makes it to the artist?

>>160914274
i mean digital raw, but whatever works for you

fly to his house and buy him dinner

I can't give you an answer, but more of a method. This kind of stuff it will either be obvious that it is or isn't or you will have to do your own research. There is likely going to be variance depending on what work the merchandise or products are from. Sorry if it doesn't help much, but if you don't know by looking at it you may need to do some searching or asking.

no worries, i was just wondering what other people do

>>160914019
>bought figures
did you know that mangakas make no money off of merchandise/the anime?
I think Sorachi
>mangaka of Gintama
said something like that in one of his interviews
so, the only way to support mangakas is to buy the manga

>>160914543
to add to that:
the money you use gets not to the mangaka but to the Publisher
the figures you buy: the money goes to the creators of the figure
the anime you saw and spent money on: the animation-studio
the LA-adaption: the studio
the only way you can ensure your favorite artist gets supported by your money is by buying their self-published doujinshis

>>160914631
>the anime you saw and spent money on: the animation-studio
Wrong.

>>160914543
>>160914631
fair enough, thanks for the info

Do you know if they get any cash if it's a translated release such as
https://www.amazon.com/Tsuredure-Children-Vol-Toshiya-Wakabayashi-ebook/dp/B071CLRWDM/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1502268013&sr=1-2

Or should I buy a japanese copy from a site like cdjapan?

I bought all the Anne happy volumes because I liked the anime.

>>160914716
Apparently they printed new ones. Amazon is still offering copies. Are you going to buy these as well?

>>160914019
paypal the artist a few hundreds bucks

>>160914784
I thought 6 hasn't been released yet.

Best post in this thread.

>how people overseas can directly support a manga studio or mangaka
Don't they're already starting to see the west as more and more of a viable market over japan if you support them too much and they start pandering to people outside of japan the thing that got you into anime in the first place will disappear

>tfw just discovered Rebis has a patreon

the OP is pleased

Simply spending money on anything anime related indicates businesses in the west that people are willing to spend money on anime.
Then they license stuff from japan, some of that money goes to the artists. If no one pays money for it, they funnel less money to japan in the future.

ever been in a tsuredure thread?
nearly every dumped chapter since probably the past 2 years has been the official digital raw
maybe you can ask the anon that dumps for help buying
>>160914689
a good idea is to get digital raw, and you need to buy it the first two weeks of release - it's what they look at
those translations are just fishing interest of gaijin as a later product and you can consider them like a separate business
wakabayashi(the author) also has his site, which has been around ever since the first web chapter, and it's just the name of the manga with .com added

each of those can have special bundles related to the anime, so don't be confused if it's ~3500 yen instead of ~500 yen
