Relient_K 07/29/22 12:01:06 PM #4:	I just don't understand censorship like this. I'm kind of a prude myself but if someone wants content like this, they want all of it. Watered down and censored versions are just lame all around. If you absolutely must, put an age restriction on the uncensored versions or something. I just can't imagine there's even one person out there who actually wants to read pervy manga but wants cleavage and such censored. --- We all ate the biscuits, Fighter. We can all see through time.

I can chuckle at the absurdity of how it looks (they really need to roll out regional variants of content distribution, that said), but the issue is the fact the app/site is just filled to the brim of what I'd effectively call micro-transactions. They divide up the chapters into segments, and you pay "coins" per segment. So you don't even get a full chapter experience. You also have to buy "coins" in batches.
