In lucid awakening
Quite a few members have requested that we include a manga chapter picture area like in the anime section of the site. However, I regret to inform you all that it is not something we plan to do.
The major selling point of the manga is very different from that of the anime. Apart from the plot itself, the arts and pictures are what readers buy the manga for. And while the anime is broadcasted on TV for free-viewing (well, of course you have to pay for the channel and electricity bill but that's not my point), the authors of the manga depend on the continuous sales of the manga to make a living. Therefore, if we put up pictures alongside the summaries for the manga, we will undermine the whole selling point of the manga and this may attract negative legal attention to SPP.
Indeed, fans in regions that do not translate and sell the manga anymore do not have any proper means to obtain the comic series, but seeing how SPP is not a region-based site, legal actions will still weigh down on us. The summaries themselves are sometimes considered risky enough in terms of legal stuff, therefore Joe and I decided to avoid having too much screens (we limit them down to one per chapter) from the manga.
We might consider putting up some scans in the character biographies some day to further elaborate their personalities, but as far as I can see, there won't be chapter pictures like those in the anime.
