In Japan, toy is toy, Anime and manga is anime and manga.
For example Bakuten remake manga continued until now and they also sell remake beys. Because both of them are popular.
But, MFB comic finished only 1 Chapter because anyone didn't request to continue in that questionnaire. But toy is still popular and continue selling remake.
If you want to cheer toy you need buy toy, if you want to cheer Manga you need to buy magazine and send questionnaire and buy Tankobon.
And other reason they don't release Japanese comic in forighen country is protect comic wrighter in your country too.
If only Japanese comic sell well and if your country comic will not sell well what'll happen to your country?
Dear Marutti, I think you have to understand that
Japanese fans and international fans have (almost) totally DIFFERENT WAYS to support their favorites.
I'm not trying to be rude to Japanese based fans as you and still respect to their opinions, but I think you should understand international fans' conditions too before blatantly blamed them as 'not enough to cheering Beyblade contents'.
If Japanese fans are more loyal and royal to their favorites (I've seen a lot of Japanese fans make great altars to their favorite characters with a lot of amount of merchandises), being full dedicated fans. It's different to international fans who tends to focused more to what they prefer more (toys/merchandises/animanga/game/etc).
If international fans are more dedicated to just one or some things to Japanese contents/products,
it doesn't mean that they are not dedicated fans. That's why I've talked about (international) fans preferences.
I know about MFB manga situation, I also know about 'toy is toy' , 'manga is manga', and 'merchandise is merchandise' things in Japan since I'm being a weeb for very long time and you've explained these before.
Most of international fans conditions are different than Japanese fans, so I couldn't blame international fans to choose one or some things and 'not being dedicated' as Japanese fans.
Most of international fans can't buy CoroCoro Aniki and/or Japanese tankoubon version for some reasons :
1. Languange barrier.
2. Lack of education to buy legal animanga.
3. Limit of money resources.
4. Although they want to buy CoroCoro Aniki and tankoubon version and have enough money, they prefer more to spend their money into toys more. For international fans, buying Beyblade toys from Japan stores are much expensive because of taxes and import costs.
5. Not every countries nor every fans have access to buy Japanese products.
6. If the readers are minors, they can't buy Japanese products easily as they aren't financially independent.
International fans are tends too depending on illegal readings/translations because all of these conditions. This is wrong to be depended on illegal readings/translations. So, to minimalize illegal reading/translations, it would be easier if publishers release legal translations for their mangas in accessible places to buy and read manga.
"But it isn't support enough because they don't buy CoroCoro Aniki for questionnaire". Yes.
But seeing most of International fans' situations and conditions, I can't force them to buy CoroCoro Aniki as you and I wanted. We also can't stop piracy for 100%, but at least
probably it would be increase more people to read manga legally and still better than seeing most of international Beyblade fans being too depended on illegal reading/translations because languange barrier.
This is why I have totally different opinions than you.
You're more focused to continuity of Beyblade Rising throughout of questionnaire in CoroCoro Aniki, and me is focused more on international fans situations and their tends to read illegal readings and/or translations because of languange barriers and limited distributions.
And are you trying to say "if your comic isn't sell well comic in your country, you can't sell it to international fans". No. Actually if the comics aren't sell well in my country, the artists from my country is sell it to international readers (since international markets are wider than my country markets). I see a lot of artists from my countries isn't popular in my country, but they're getting more popular with more incomes in international markets.
Most of Japan companies should realize, in globalization era, they can't forever to be too depended on only Japanese markets. They can't deny globalization effects forever. I think, this is great step to them to open more to international markets.
And dear Marutti, I'm sorry if I being rude on you since I don't mean to disrespect and hurt everyone in WBO or Japanese side. But, since our discussion and debate won't end,
I should say that I have to agree to disagree to your arguments.
