Talk:Chapter 21/@comment-69.88.43.98-20190310185104/@comment-3218221-20190310200725

The manga was never free in the first place. Someone was ripping the Yen Press translations and making them sharable via the Manga Rock platform, which is not a legal means to read manga; MR either hosts manga with fan-translations, or rips of official translations. I assure you that DMDP being on MR was not with YP's consent.

I can only guess at why whomever was putting the YP translations on MR stopped. Either they were caught, they stopped buying DMDP, or they thought the risk was too great and stopped. In any case, you can buy Yen Press' chapter releases to read on multiple platforms, including: Kindle; ComiXology; Kobo; Nook (B&N); Google Play; iBooks; and Book Walker.

Here is Yen Press' page for Chapter 21, with links to online retailers on the right.

I strongly encourage you to support the official release if you are able; if you can't afford buying each chapter for $1.99 as they come out (it adds up over time), you can wait to buy the volumes as they release, which will be the cheaper option. Yen Press' release of Volume 2 is projected for June.
