Why spend hours trying to torrent something when for a nominal fee you can get a legitimate copy in seconds?
Actually, web manga readers are some of the most convenient way to read manga online.

I know things like that are mired in a mixture of indifferent publishers, Japan tending to be quite insular, and licensing restrictions.
It's not a technical problem you can solve with copyright enforcement. It's a supply problem caused by vendors not being in the right channels.
That there's a web reader that works should prove there's demand.
If you could download, legally, that sort of thing for a token fee, not like the $0.99 download that finally made online music scales work, the demand would drop quickly.
