I hate to be the one to say it, but a lot of those manga on both those site ARE licenced in the US and other places. I don't have anything against scanlations, as long as they are removed when the title is licensed outside Japan. A lot of the titles there (I looked) are just COPIES of the American release, which as someone who makes a living in this field, is the same as stealing.

When you read scans of licenced material online it's the same as downloading a movie or a music CD without paying for it. A lot of people put a lot of work to bring great manga out of Japan, and sites like those hurt those efforts.

Food for thought.
