>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 3 20:56:46 2013 No.10701518 Because they have to buy the manga from Japan and then mark up the price or they don't make a profit. Baka.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 3 20:57:01 2013 No.10701523 Because they hate gaijins.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 3 21:04:15 2013 No.10701537 Manga is small and I can't read it. Do they do large print manga? Is manga intended for precise Asian eyes?

I think I might be going blind.

If you just generally have crappy vision from too much staring at a computer or whatever, can laser eye surgery fix it? That's what I'm holding out on.

>>10701577
Well I figure since they see less they see better. Like how if you go blind in one eye, the other improves.

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 3 23:22:31 2013 No.10701966 >>10701510 Because anime is so much cheaper, and they have to make up the cost somewhere.
