 That's not quite what I mean 

 i think there are manga apps where you can support the studios directly. honestly this is how it should be. publishers are always middleman jews. i distrust all of them. i'd rather buy directly with the studio. 

 i think studio trigger actually tried something like this for a while where you could sub to Trigger or the animators on Patreon or something like that 

 From what I understand the western companies all get together with the 2-3 Japanese publishers and they auction the licenses to the American companies. The American companies i am quite certain work to make sure that nobody else can get their foot in the door to that conversation, because if free market principles were allowed to work here the manga boom of the last decade would almost certainly have involved new publishers popping up left and right to try and get a slice of the pie, but that hasnt happened. Little upstart companies like that do exist but there’s not that many and they usually go for loli and other licenses that are untouchable by the big companies. 

 Interesting! 

 I think I'm gonna look into this tonight and see how it works
