Not liking where X is heading. This year I’ve mostly been lurking (esp on my other acc) & only retweeting occasionally. Had some issues with bsky a few months back, but hopefully that’s fixed as I'll be returning there. See you on the other side! 🦋 bsky.app/profile/yyng7.…

I’ve spent the past few days researching the circumstances in different countries, including financial situations. I understand that for many people, pirate sites are the only way they can read manga. I also understand that prices can be higher overseas. I’ve even seen people saying, “Don’t bring this issue up.” But if we do not speak up now, the value of Japanese manga and creative works, built through the sacrifices and relentless efforts of those who came before us, will be wasted. I’ve also seen people say, “Reading for free doesn’t hurt sales.” That is not true. “Free” lowers the value of things. Once people grow used to getting something for free, they stop looking toward legitimate versions. (I also understand that people who truly love a work will support it properly.) We pour ourselves into creating so readers can enjoy our work. Compensation matters, of course, but more than anything, I do not want to see its value diminished. To help people who cannot afford to buy it, or who do not have access to it, enjoy these works, Ando and I have been discussing this for a long time and exploring many ideas. I cannot share details yet, but we are working on it. Publishers are making efforts as well. I’m sorry it is taking time. But please stop hurling accusations like, “You are racists,” or saying misguided things like, “Piracy is free promotion for you.” We will continue doing everything we can so everyone can enjoy manga. And I ask one thing in return: please try to understand our perspective and our culture as well. ※I’m using a translation app.

@hikarireika I need this official art!!!

FF7

Final Fantasy VII Creative Director Tetsuya Nomura shares a super early concept art to celebrate the 29th Anniversary of the original FF7! The scene depicts Cloud, Johnny the Needle (who later became Reno), and an Avalanche member. Fascinating BTS lore drop from Nomura!
