    Whole Berserk is like my wage for two years of work, literally. I couldn’t have afforded reading what became my favorite manga if not for piracy, even before the war. I could subscribe to some service if there was one to read them, like Spotify, but there were no legal way to do so, and manga books are priced like gold per their weight.

      Yeah I was able to get the books from my local library so I was really lucky but yeah for the most part the prices are ridiculous.
