If you think buying manga is expensive, try getting into games or movies. Those must have staples from the past, limited releases, and the new titles aren’t cheap. If you really want to be a fan and not just a reader, buy it. At least some of it. Royalties do exist in manga, so buying licesned manga in your country does support the mangaka and small studio that created the manga. Japan isn’t perfect and most comic companies are in big cities. Big cities means high rent and cost of living with Japan’s economy as it is. Not that downloading is wrong, since it some countries don’t have much in a way of a manga industry unless you find a site that delivers where you live. You’re a fan, of course you want to experience stuff you like. But wouldn’t it show that you’re a fan if you actually have a series?

There are discounted online stores and buying what little manga in your area does bring more manga to be picked up by publishers. You can even learn the language. Just look at a lot of shounen and shoujo, the hiragana is right next to the kanji. Worth taking classes if it means manga that you can buy for less. Not like you’re going to get tired of the whole weaboo, anime, and manga world.
