Here's what pretty much happens:
- Someone on the Korean end of translation seemingly gets a "scanned" chapter by Sunday night. They provide us with a quick summary by Monday.
- Said person was leaking snippets of images from the chapter nearly 5/6 days early (Monday/Tuesday) off of a computer (the images were clearly digital with no printed text). This was entirely traceable and super illegal.
- Said person is not leaking early images anymore but continue to provide us with the early summary (edit:apparently this might not even happen anymore either)
- Wednesday night/Thursday morning sees the printed magazine distributing to shops around Japan. These people leak the magazine early to specific sources. This is still illegal, but not NEARLY as traceable.
