Well guys.. One Manga has announced that it will be shutting down next week because of the demands of the coalition against scanlation.. So that's where I used to read all my manga.. Guess the only manga reading I will be doing is with the stuff I buy.. Too bad I have no money to spend on manga.. Thank god for GotAnime memberships and RightStuf discounts!

Code: Select all

One Manga, a site with unauthorized, translated scans of manga (scanlations), has posted  a Thursday notice to say that "this is the last week of manga reading" on the site. The site cited what it describes as a recent change in the manga publishers' "stance on manga scanlations." According to the notice, all content will be gone from the site by early next week.

One Manga ranked #935 on Google's list of the 1,000 most-visited sites on the web in May. Another manga aggregator, MangaHelpher, announced last month that it is removing links while it prepares to launch OpenManga, a new platform to allow manga creators to distribute their work digitally.

This sucks, It was where I read all my manga.

But we still have mangafox and mangastream.

The only victims here are the artists who weren't getting paid for all the content being stolen.

OneManga was an aggregator making thousands of dollars off of stolen materials from adspace. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
