Ask first and then respect the wishes of the circle, whatever they may be. Out of curiosity, how do you feel about using Western fan artists' work? If you purchased a commission from an American fan artist, would you feel within your rights to use it in a webpage layout without asking permission or even informing that artist? What if they found out about it and asked you to stop?
I buy all the manga that I read, so I have to admit I hadn't considered the scanslation layout question. Still, I do think there's a difference in degree between sampling a professional mangaka's work versus a dj circle that fights to break even on printing costs.
