To protest your infernal usage of spectacularly lengthy topic titles, I will cast my vote for whichever option you detest *exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark*

Therefore I humbly request you post the option you favour so I can chuck my tantrum and select the other.

Neither really, I don't buy digital.

I know, I didn't think this could still be a thing, but yeah here in butfuck Kansas there are plenty of people that still get violently offended by common scientific knowledge. A couple of years ago I overheard a student complaining that their environmental biology teacher was forcing the ideas of evolution on the class........ GOD DAMN IT RURAL AMERICA.

I don't remember what state it was but many years ago I read about a court case in which a substitute teacher was being charged with some absurd law. I forget the legalese of it but it boiled down to the "corruption" of a minor. A PC in the classroom they were subbing for was infected with malware that was displaying popup ads for porn. Remember when pop-up ads were a thing? Anyways, due to something completely out of the teachers control the kids were exposed to porn images. I forget the details but the teacher got pretty much railroaded by the state. Wouldn't allow anyone but their own supposed expert witness. At any rate it's pretty ridiculous that someone could be charged for such a thing in this day and age. Kids will do what they want behind your back and that's ignoring how you unilaterally decide what is vulgar, etc.

Or you could just not involve yourself in the discussion, it's kinda like the flat earther that was in my Geographic Information Systems class awhile back that kept getting offended by the lectures. 

Why are you here anyway????

Sorry there, I was just joking around in regard of my statement earlier there. Although if you want my answer here, I was bored and quite interested a little bit to this thread okay. As for your experience, it was quite unique I guess.

Okay, I'll try to be serious here in regard of my statement. My new statement here would be 'Is okay that Mangagamer release it separately, although I still wouldn't buy it though'. In other word, it mean that I state that it's Mangagamer's right to release it separately in regard of Kuroinu because there's probably some negotiation behind Mangagamer and Liquid there, and the deal was to release it separately. What kind of deal obviously I didn't know, but what I knew is that if Mangagamer want to release it in single volume, they'll need to negotiate again of course in which once again will cause delay to Kuroinu release. That's all that I could said in regard of three part release from Mangagamer, although I obviously still won't buy this though for several reasons here.

That would be this: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2008/11/teacher-in-porn-popup-case-dodges-jail-loses-creds/

And it is in fact pretty ridiculous.  Their expert lied his ass off in court, and nothing ever happened.  System's broken.

Ah. yes. That's the one. Endangering the morals of a minor. As if the state has the means of defining what morals a minor should have. Nanny State literally. Anyways I had only read the beginning of her legal battle. It's BS that it ended as a plea deal and not a countersuit against the state. Even if her whole defense team was pro-bono (I doubt it was) she probably was out of work that entire time. *grumble* The only thing disgusting here is that a law like that was on the books and that the local media added salt to the wounds.
