Please read: A personal appeal from /a/nonymous scanlations

Ladies and gentlemen, it's no secret that scanlation isn't profitable. In fact, most of the scanlation community probably prefers it to stay that way. I for one have already given up hope on staying keeping the costs as low as possible, because I keep picking up manga that I have to import (it can't be helped). Here's a look at the estimated costs:

• Mudazumo:
  $15 / two weeks - Kindai Mahjong Issues
  $15 / six months - Volumes
  $420 / year
  
  
• 7o3x:
  $19 / month - Young Ace Issues (depending on vendor)
  $15 / four months - Volumes
  $273 / year
  
  
• Nanika:
  $40 / two months - good! Afternoon Issues
  $15 / year? - Volumes
  $255 / year
  
  
• Pokemon Special (volumes only):
  $15 / three months - Volumes
  $60 / year
  
  
• Arpeggio of Blue Steel:
  (~$40 - Volumes 1-3)
  $15 / four months - Volumes (4+)
  $45 / year
  
  
• Noririn:
  $15 / six months - Volumes
  $30 / year
  
  
• Ryuushika Ryuushika:
  $15 / year - Volumes
  $15 / year
  
  
• Kindaichi:
  No cost right now, but I'm considering importing volumes for future cases, since the scans aren't very good
  
  
• Kazumi:
  No cost
  
  
• Kaibutsu Oujo:
  No cost
  

The total comes out to be $1068 per year. My savings has pretty much stagnated over the last year and is beginning to decline. While it isn't anywhere near zero as of this writing, I would appreciate any support, no matter how small.

(Note: Pokemon Special BW has a special account on its own. If you're donating for BW, make sure to tell me somehow)

I have mentioned on /a/ in June about how I have a surplus of Eva figures that come with the Young Ace issues, and some people have expressed interest. I'll definitely auction them off in a few weeks.
