Well, yah, as the previous posts would have it: It depends on the price. Then, on how badly I want the anime. Of course, you weigh both. I'm actually applying the rule of economics here (no mtter how much I twisted it) 'If the marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost , buy it. If Otherwise, then don't."
I really have not much money with me, and there aren't much anime stores near my locality (if not, at all), so I don't have much resource. I would have loved online shopping, but I have no mony to spend nor credit card to use. So, really, I'm pathetic. But I don't make it a habit of downloading mangas. Reading it from the PC kinda hurts my already-damaged eyes.
...If only I could, then I would most definitely buy the original manga! smile
