However, in 2014, Ishimori Pro stated to F.J. DeSanto that they would drop any further releases of their library to Comixology due to their unwillingness to pay for translations and "cultural differences". DeSanto has stated that the company was ignorant of the fact that their products were a niche market outside of Japan and upset over sales, expecting profit immediately from digital distribution.
