Here is the thing, they are quite a few fabulous titles that i came to read thanks to scanslations but i would really love to buy them and share them home
How do you get publishers to translate officially a tittle ?
I'm thinking piano no mori, real clothes, do da dancing, glass mask, and many more how can we help so that they become available to us in a paper version ?

Thank you for your insight

have you tried contacting a publisher? or better yet, creating some local fandom for said mangu so the publisher knows there are enough people that would buy the product (licensing costs, it needs to be translated, edited, printed, and not be a waste of monies hardly anyone would buy)?

 

here (poland) they seem to operate partially on what's popular in scanlationsphere and partially on their personal preferences because like all of them were created by married-a-japanese-person couples (also we've got some mangu that wasn't available outside of japan at all that way)

Spreading the word certainly helps.

I think starting a petition might help.
