How is it really possible for the scanlation-sites to release their chapters 5 days before the chapters are even out in Japan? I never got an answer on that, lol. I don't know if I seem like an idiot for not knowing, but I just wanna know! :erm:

Because they release it illegally and translate it themselves.

I know that actually (should have pointed that out), but they don't have the magazine there with them, so how are they able to get access to the pages , really?

Because they know people who work there that leak it out to them.

WSJ is shipped to retailers beforehand. It leaks sometime during this process and raw gets online which is cleaned and translated by some online fan groups. That's how we get to read these chapters even before the actual buyers get to read it in Japan.

^ this should answer your query.

I don't know, I don't think everyone scanlator site has a leak that works in the retail business. I read in another thread that WSJ subcribers or something like that get it a week early, and so obviously those people give it to a scanlator site. Either way, WSJ is released a week early for some people in Japan, and that's how they get it, they know those people so they can give them scans. I also was wondering why the new American WSJ says it is simultaneous with Japan but it is 5 days behind of ***********/panda releases. But that's why.
