I'm wondering what people on the board think of having the North American Manga Distributers together to promote a Free Manga Day?

It would be different then this day.

Here's an article on version 2.5 of the above event.

I think such a day would rule. Manga now costs more then most new comics so being able to get free manga can save you much more cash then just a few comics.

Yeah! But just ONE day of the year that would be nice! And watch, I'd probably miss out on it for something very stupid like. Surprised But, I don't think they'd go bankrupt over ONE day. Confused

Right now what I have been running into localy is an offering where if you buy any two mangas you get a free sampler that has chapters from several different mangas. However, I don't know if this is going on every where.

That would be good if that happened EVERYWHERE! People would see other new manga are coming out, therefore people would buy more.

I think that they should tak a poll a couple months before hand, so they can see what the most popluar manga is at the time. Which ever one wins they can sell it at half price. (a win- win situation) Wink Smile
