      Honestly, I think it could work. MangaPlus and Shonen Jump having the latest three chapters free was to a)outpace people who make low-quality scanslations with the official thing and b)provide advertisement, as these series are incredibly popular both in Japan and the US.

      AlphaPolis series, though? First of all, they’re all manga adaptations of isekai web novels - which means that if anyone is truly looking for spoilers, they can just look up a translation site. And again, something like THE NEW GATE or World Customize Creator or Re:Monster isn’t massively popular enough for some schmuck to steal a copy of the magazine before it officially releases and hastily make a machine-translated English version.

      The closest comparison is maybe Kodansha, who also paywalls their newest chapters - at the very least, you can stay up to date with an Azuki subscription, but yeah.

        @torka I think it will depend a lot on how much these tickets cost and how many you can acquire for free. Even if you pay, you only unlock the chapter for a week, so you'll have to keep paying for more tickets if you want to keep going back to read things again later.

          Hello,

          The above information is certainly a new page in the overseas manga game, however this particular topic is not the place for that discussion.

          If you would like to discuss Alpha Manga feel free to open a new topic to discuss this new chapter in Alphapolis’ business.

          Thank you

          Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

            The manga is great. Would love for it to be licensed again now that it's free from Sekai Project.

              Alphapolis seems to have sub-licensed the manga to Crunchyroll. Would be nice if they let J-NC sell volumes too.

                WARNING: Buy at your own risk. Anyone who wishes to buy the manga from Sekai Project will find it still available on Amazon. Unfortunately, it is expensive and costs $302.93. Personally, it's not worth it if it costs so much.

                  That volume says "used," So not from the publisher?

                    It's being sold by some place called "Dwhits Discount Books" which I seriously doubt is the name of the official publisher's marketplace account (assuming they sold the books that way at all)

                      @Mustafar12 or if you really want a copy vol.01 is still available from the sekai project but only a few left, vol.02 is sold out

                        Apparently, the GATE manga is available in the Kindle format by Alphaplois, and the first 3 volumes were released 2 weeks ago.
