>>68136 Namicomi, the company that got the ownership of MangaDex, is also owned by the MangaDex founder, Hologfx, or Henry L. Not sure about that, but if it's true, thats all the evidence we need and everything will make sense. This just means that the game was rigged from the start.

I spent some time reading the reddit thread, it sounded like they had yanked about 1400 mangas so far, and have 7,000-10,000 mangas processing for removal.

If my Berserk scans are safe, its ok, dont want to rely on pajeet scans not anymore

I dunno if its always been a thing too but deleting your account data at mangadex is blocked currently. It lists "unavailable" on the button.

>>68264 >and have 7,000-10,000 mangas processing for removal. Might as well shut down the site if true

>>68265 >>68264 All those thousands of scanlation work. Wasted.

>Remember Madokami exist >Last time I used it was 3 years ago >Forgot password >Had to dig up old tablet that had password saved on it Boy did I start sweating.

>>68280 yeah it fucking sucks hopefully the scanalators didn't put all their works into mangadex and nothing else

>>68281 Well, it has been years. I hope someone was making backups from the scanlations on Madokami. Because lots of work are being lost in this purge.

>>68278 That's kinda the deal. Mangadex will be a bridge that funnels traffic to Namicomi. Also, all the data, information, discord links, email and everything else the users put on it belongs to Namicomi now so they can use it as they please.

>>68312 >Namicomi >check it >it's pretty much webtoon with some shitty looking titles at the front

Anyway. Are there any websites that let you buy manga as easily as you buy games on Steam? So far I was seeing you generally have to use PayPal(shitty) or credit card(muh data) while you can't use prepaid cards for some reason despite Steam and even some smaller payment processors supporting it.

>>68499 I buy raw mangas on Amazon Japan directly in Kindle format >currently the cheaper option between the low value of the yen and not having to pay for shipping fees and (if you're in the EU) custom taxes unlike physical books >regularly a lot of sales - with manga volumes going as low as 10円 per book or even handed out for free during certain events >Generated Amazon points can lower the price of the next order(s), with certain volumes being worth more points at occasions (20% ~ 50% of the book value converted into points) <while Amazon has the largest digital manga library available in the Japanese market, it's somehow missing specific candidates (with obvious ones like Yotsubato or Vagabond) <not exactly recommended to buy each book separately if your bank card imposes a small fee for every order paid in a foreign currency - there is no shopping cart for kindle books, only the ability to pay bundles Obviously a lot more practical to carry around books on the phone, as well as less physical storage at home, even if it will never replace the feel of paper to me.

>>68499 Some Steam key websites like Fanatical or Indiegala also have comics and manga for sale.

>>68507 >even if it will never replace the feel of paper to me. Paper rots and yellows over time. My fingers also never liked the raspy feeling of cheap paper. I gotten so use a smartphone's smooth glass screen that I can't go back. Plus the backlit screen is nice for midnight reading.

>>68025 Antijapan kikes are desperate to the point they would unironically do this for free, you are trying to find logic in a cult currently sinking trillion dollar companies to own da chuds.

>>68278 But how will they shill gooky goykuso if they take down the site?

>>67467 It was because of manhwa that they got hit lmao. Mangadex is the slowest piece of shit ever, they learned nothing from Batoto back in 2018 when it also went down. Allowing people to post manga in 10 different languages and then also adding webcomics, 'western' manga, korean shit, chinese shit etc. just totally fucked two websites in the last 10 years and the retards never learn.

>>68611 >Kakao and the rest of the gooky companies are going apeshit trying to kill all "piracy" of the shit they refuse to translate and release globally, what do? >Oh I know, we will shill MD as the biggest and best place to read gookkuso and literally redesign our reader to work better with longstrip kuso! This type of genius move could truly only come from a westoid.

>>68516 >He doesn't like OWNING things. Ngmi.

>>68661 Allowing gookshit on your website at all is a very serious mistake.

>>68611 They should have just stayed true to their name and made another site called Asiacatalog or something.

>>68802 Like batoto, they got greedy for adbux. Those KR webtoons and even chinese comics are getting popular and there are quite the overlap between those and manga readers, so they thought they can reap them all. Hubris and Greed, a tale as old as time.

>>67467 Reading is overrated anyways. Besides, I download everything I want to read in moonrunes anyway

so what are people using now? I thought comick might be good but it seems like it's died too because none of my shit's been updated for 2 weeks

>>68988 Try mangafreak

>>68988 Mangapark with Mihon atm.

>>68824 >and there are quite the overlap between those and manga readers Yes, but by technicality. In japan people read manga because it's cheap (manga originals like shounenkuso) and because it's an easy way to "demo" a series instead of taking the monetary (LN) or time investment (WN) of reading it and seeing if you like it. However, overseas is another matter as it has to be translated, and your choices are either trannies intentionally axe wounding the original (which was already butchered due to the adaptation process) or coping with jeets MTLing. Most actual fans of JP stuff at this point either learned japanese or are in the process of learning it. The only people left reading manga are EOPs that just want to mindlessly consoom, the problem with that is said people have devolved to the point of being lazy enough to not even read manga, but either watch some eceleb talk about it in a 2 hour video essay, or straight up watch "recap" fanfic videos. TLDR: There's no real money to be had from EOP manga readers.

>>68661 i hate longstrip so fucking much

Where are you fags reading manga now? With Dex and Manganato ruined, I got nothing now.

>>70955 >Where are you fags reading manga now? I'm not, anymore.

>>70955 I've been using rawkuma.

>>70955 If the manga is on the Internet Archive I use it. https://archive.org https://archivep75mbjunhxc6x4j5mwjmomyxb573v42baldlqu56ruil2oiad.onion/ Otherwise I use Mangahasu. https://mangahasu.me/

>>70955 Manga is kind of a dead medium nowadays due to being 99% adaptations. The few manga originals that aren't also shounenshit I just read the raws of on the raws site that happens to be up whenever I look it up. For everything else I either read the source LN/VN or stick to the anime.

>>71022 How many manga do you need for the medium to be "Alive"?
