Ideas To Save Manga

[Seki]

As many of you are quite aware, the manga industry is in trouble.

Why?

1. Libraries give you manga.
2. I can read them online completely translated with minor errors.
3. People don't want to spend 10 dollars except for the best of the best (Which ironically isn't the back alley gems that I love and all others but rather the whole, I have a show at 8, now the manga sells like hotcakes.)

But still, I still feel a need to try and help the manga industry. If sales increases, we get cheaper manga, which is always good, or at the least I get half the manga I wanted to be released, released.

The newest one I wanted released is KANOKON (THIS IS A HINT IF ANY IDEA POSTED HERE SAVES MANGA, AND IS AN AWESOME THANK YOU PRESENT, BETTER THAN CASH.)

Well, here is my random ideas----------------

---------------------

O.k. since manga sales are down, we have to have people buy manga.

But how,

A chance at cool rewards.

For example, if we shrink wrapped manga WHILE putting a secret code we enter online to get points, people start buying manga possible to collect points.

They then can bid on cool prizes (Bidding where points are wasted per bid, this allows for the people to waste there points and maybe buy more manga.)

Prize ideas include--- Random stuff like PVP statues, Autographed manga, pictures of Seven Seas Team doing really wacky stuff (Disguises as cheap mystery box.)

And the second idea to this to increase sales is a friend promo code. If people recommend manga and give there exclusive promo code to a friend, the friend recieves a small discount of the manga, and the person who gave out the code recieves a small amount of points to bid with. This overall allows for it to be widespread, and promote it through our fabulous right of free speech and human mass spamming. (It's a moral decision, so good manga or not.)

So Now, any other ideas to help save the manga industry?

Notable reasons missing from this list:

* The oversaturation of the market, leading to a supply that far exceeds demand.
* The end of manga as a novelty.
* That recession the economy is currently in; you might have heard about it on TV.

Anyway, the problem is not a simple as your assessment says it is, your ideas are stupid and unworkable, and do nothing to increase demand. You also seem to not understand what the verb "to waste" means, and think that it's a good thing.
