So how does this site work exactly? How do Yude/the publishers get paid when we're basically getting the entire chapter (which is a lot shorter then I originally thought) for "free"? Is it through advertisements?
It all boils down to advertising and click through revenue for Shueisha. Based on all the tweets I have been following on the subject, the vast majority of WPB readers prefer viewing and getting the magazine's content on their phones.
Nisei readers are included in core target demographic for the online version of WPB, and moving it to a free online format is actually a better draw for the magazine than the print version.
While Kinnikuman fans are fledgling a bit to spend money on the print version of Nisei, they do not hesitate as much to go to the site for free to see Kinnikuman and then end up spending money on quality Japanese T&A
The phone companies and all the other video and image subscriptions are where the real money is.
Nisei is just one of those ADs that keeps on giving

They will not support iPhone or iPad viewing until the end of the month, so until then I still really like being able to view the latest pages on LRG!
The other thing about WPB is that with all the ladies in their undies and bikinis all over the place, it is not really a safe site for people to be surfing at work....
