To do it the legal way, you must purchace each manga volume to read it. Let's say that there are 15 volumes in a series. Each manga volume costs around $10. If you wanted to enjoy that manga series without breaking the law, you'd have to pay $150 to complete one series. ONE SERIES. But that's not including mangas like Naruto that have like, more than 40 volumes in them; then they would cost more than $400.

Have I made my point?
Not really. Just collect it as you can. Don't buy it all at one time. If you can only buy a volume every two weeks, do that.

For instance, years ago, I was reading scanlations of Fruits Basket because I didn't have the cash to buy past what I owned. When I got the money to do so, I started to physically collect it again and am pretty much caught up with the US releases of it now.
