I don't understand what good it will do to release the Japanese versions to an English speaking public.
I'm confused on that as well. On one hand, it's a pretty easy way for them to make some extra money and pique interest – on the other hand, I'm afraid them posting the series like this could mean it's even less likely we'll see them licenesed for a full English release. I've been wanting to read Hinako Takanaga's Bouya no Silent for years – hope this doesn't ruin our chances!
That said, I do love seeing them releasing material to us so directly at least and will probably try buying the Hinako Takanaga title just to flip through and show my support.
