Coming soon: Free, legal, downloadable "Love Hina" manga

[robkelk]

According to Sankaku Complex, Ken Akamatsu is starting a free manga download site for out-of-print titles, and he's using Love Hina as the test content. It isn't up yet, so I can't say whether any translations will be available or it'll just be the Japanese run of the manga...

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

- Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012

Either way, this is a huge move forward. And the fact that a Big Name Manga Ka like Ken is heading this up lends it that much more credibility - other Manga Ka will know without a doubt that their interests will be represented in this endeavor.

It might even broaden the horizons a bit. Can you imagine first-timers publishing to this site instead of trying to make it big on one of the other publishers? Or selling along side the doujins at conventions?
