Is printing manga illlegal?

Question

so there are not many shop in my country to buy manga or anime ...so i was thinking about printing and selling manga books.....i would it be illegal to print those manga and selling it????

Answer

I'm almost sure it is. You see, it is something someone made with  a lot of work and is selling it. You can't just take over that work and copying it. It's like downloading a CD and then selling it online or on an other disk. It's legal when you buy the manga from it's original source and then sell it for a more expensive price.

Answer

Yes, it would be illegal, since it is  not your work, if it was a translated into a different language as a fan sub and included the real author in it, it would be legal, otherwise it is illegal. but check your state/city/country's law about that.
