I say this since I am still salty over an incident a number of yrs back when a manga I was reading got dropped by the translator group because the author sued them (my irritation is not with the authors actions but their reason - and also do not take this rant too seriously).
The reason that that authour cited was what got to me.
They said:
I am really upset with the overseas scanlator groups for translating my work without permission since they are doing it and without crediting me as the artist and fans were sending the translators thank you messages (implying that the readers and translators were not acknowledging her existence). Her complaint of not being acknowledged however had zero merit. I say that because translators had always kept cover pages whilst also translating her name and listing her as the author ~ if she didnt get any personal thank you messages then as an author u should have considered asking publishers to include in the content pages of ur comic a method to send fan mail that all fans can use whether it be an official website twitter etc).
