Site Update - 14th of May 2025

[kouyo]

Hi everyone! We're rolling out two updates today: one highly requested enhancement and one important rules clarification.

You can now once again tailor your reading experience by filtering out content you don't want to see across the site. To set it up, go to Settings -> Blocks -> Tag Filters and pick the tags you'd like to avoid.

• When browsing a title tagged with any of your filtered tags, you'll see a warning giving you the choice to continue or go back.,
• You can fine-tune when this warning appears under Settings > Content Warning Preference.,
• If you choose to ignore the warning, tags will still be highlighted in a distinct colour with an icon, so you know they've been filtered.,
• These filters, however, do not apply to the Staff Picks, Self-Published and Seasonal carousels on the homepage, as well as titles you receive updates for.

To ensure fair access for readers and sustainable practices for translation groups, we have updated our rules on excessive profiteering to include external sites with pay-walled content and hosting of infringing material:
Groups may not promote platforms that permanently lock translated works behind a paywall or manipulate release schedules to encourage paid access.

However, early-access previews—such as chapters made available in exchange for donations or reader requests—are permitted only if all content is released freely after a consistent delay.

Any group that hosts on its own website or any other external site official releases or chapters belonging to other groups without explicit permission and proper credit is prohibited from uploading any content to MangaDex.

We have been enforcing these standards informally for some time, but growing misuse and a surge in user reports have prompted us to codify these policies.

This update ensures we continue to enforce our rules consistently and fairly, with no exceptions. MangaDex’s mission remains the same: to be a free and open platform that still allows groups to receive community support.

That's huge!

ES - Spanish version:
¡Hola buenas! Hoy traemos dos novedades: una mejora muy solicitada y una aclaración importante de nuestras normas.

Ahora puedes personalizar tu experiencia de lectura filtrando el contenido que no quieras ver en el sitio.
Para ello, ve a Ajustes > Bloqueos > Filtros de Etiquetas y selecciona las etiquetas que desees evitar.

• Al abrir un título con alguna de tus etiquetas filtradas, verás una advertencia dándote la opción de continuar o retroceder.
• Puedes ajustar cuándo aparece esta advertencia en Ajustes > Preferencia de Advertencia de Contenido.
• Si eliges ignorar esta advertencia, las etiquetas filtradas aparecerán resaltadas en un color distinto con un icono, para que sepas han sido filtradas.
• No obstante, estos filtros no se aplican a los carruseles de Selección del Staff, Autopublicados y de Temporada en la página principal, ni a los títulos de los que recibas actualizaciones.

Para garantizar un acceso justo a los lectores y unas prácticas razonables por parte de los grupos de traducción, hemos actualizado nuestras normas sobre monetización excesiva para incluir también los sitios externos con contenidos de pago y que alojen material infractor.

Los grupos no deberán promocionar plataformas que bloqueen permanentemente sus traducciones tras un muro de pago ni manipular su calendario de publicación para incentivar el acceso a la traducción mediante pagos.

Sin embargo, se permite el acceso anticipado—como capítulos disponibles a cambio de donaciones o solicitudes de lectores—siempre que todo el contenido se publique de forma gratuita en plazos constantes.

Cualquier grupo que aloje en su propio sitio web o en cualquier otra plataforma externa publicaciones oficiales con licencia o capítulos pertenecientes a otros grupos sin permiso explícito y el debido crédito tendrá prohibido subir cualquier contenido a MangaDex.

Estas normas se han ido aplicabando de manera informal durante algún tiempo, pero el crecimiente abuso y el aumento de reportes de usuarios nos han llevado a consolidar estas políticas. Con esta actualización, se garantiza que nuestars reglas serán aplicadas de manera coherente y justa, sin excepciones.

MangaDex mantiene la misma misión: ser una plataforma libre y abierta que siga permitiendo a los grupos recibir el apoyo de la comunidad.

EUS - Basque version:
Kaixo denoi! Gaur bi eguneratze dakartzuegu: bata oso eskatua izan den hobekuntza bat, eta bestea gure arauen argipen garrantzitsu bat.

Irakurketa-esperientzia pertsonaliza dezakezu ikusi nahi ez duzun edukiak orrialde guztietan iragazteko aukera ematen duten iragazkiekin.
Joan Ezarpenak > Etiketa-Iragazkiak atalera eta hautatu saihestu nahi dituzun etiketak.

• Zure iragazkiko etiketetako batekin etiketatutako titulu bat irekitzen duzunean, ohar bat agertuko da, eta bertan aukeratu dezakezu aurrera edo atzera egin nahi duzun.
• Ohar horren agerpena aldatu nahi baduzu, jo ezazu Ezarpenak > Edukien Ohartarazpen-Lehentasunak atalera.
• Oharra desgaituz gero, iragazitako etiketak kolore bereizgarri batez nabarmenduta agertuko dira, ikono batekin batera, iragazkipean daudela gogorarazteko.
• Kontuan izan, ordea, iragazki hauek ez direla aplikatzen orrialdeko Taldearen Aukeraketak, Autoargitaratuak eta Sasoikoak karuselekin, ezta kapituluak igotzen direnean jakinarazpenak jasotzeko esleitutako tituluekin ere..

Irakurleentzako sarbide librea eta itzulpen-taldeentzat praktika jasangarriak bermatzeko, ordaindu beharreko edukia duten kanpo guneak sustatzeari eta material arau-hauslea ostatatzeari buruzko arauak eguneratu ditugu.

Taldeek ezin izango dute sustatu ordainketa-horma baten atzean itzulitako lanak etengabe blokeatzen dituen plataformarik, ez eta ordainketa- sarbidea sustatzeko argitalpen-egutegirik manipulatu ere.
Hala ere, sarbide goiztiareko aurrebistak—adibidez, kapituluak dohaintzen edo irakurleen eskaeren truke eskuragarri jartzea—baimenduta daude, baldin eta eduki guztia doan argitaratzen bada denbora-tarte jakin baten ondoren.

Beren webgunean edo beste kanpo-plataforma batetan baimen espliziturik gabe beste talde batzuen kapituluak edota argitalpen ofizialak ostatatzen dituen edozein taldek debekatuta izango du inolako edukirik MangaDex-era igotzea.

Arau hauek informalki betearazten ziren jada, baina gero eta gehiegikeria eta erabiltzaileen salaketa gehiago biltzeak bultzatu gaituzte hauek idaztera. Eguneratze honekin, gure arauak modu koherente eta bidezkoan betetzen ditugula ziurtatzen ari gara, salbuespenik gabe.

MangaDex-en eginkizuna aldatu gabe jarraitzen du: plataforma libre eta irekia izatea, aldi berean, taldeei komunitatearen laguntza jasotzeko aukera ematen diena.

I translated to Portuguese using chatGPT ( and reviewed after ) if it helps anyone.

Olá a todos! Estamos lançando duas atualizações hoje: uma melhoria muito solicitada e uma importante clarificação de regras.

Agora você pode mais uma vez personalizar sua experiência de leitura filtrando conteúdos que não deseja ver em todo o site.

• Para configurar, vá em Configurações -> Bloqueios -> Filtros de Tags e escolha as tags que gostaria de evitar.
• Ao navegar por um título com alguma das suas tags filtradas, você verá um aviso dando a opção de continuar ou voltar.
• Você pode ajustar quando esse aviso aparece acessando Configurações > Preferência de Aviso de Conteúdo.
• Se optar por ignorar o aviso, as tags ainda serão destacadas com uma cor distinta e um ícone, para que você saiba que foram filtradas.
• Esses filtros não se aplicam aos carrosséis de Destaques da Equipe, Publicações Independentes e Sazonais na página inicial, nem aos títulos para os quais você recebe atualizações.

Para garantir acesso justo aos leitores e práticas sustentáveis para os grupos de tradução, atualizamos nossas regras sobre lucro excessivo para incluir sites externos com conteúdo pago e hospedagem de material infrator:
Os grupos não podem promover plataformas que bloqueiem permanentemente obras traduzidas atrás de um paywall ou manipulem cronogramas de lançamentos para incentivar o acesso pago.

No entanto, prévias de acesso antecipado — como capítulos disponibilizados em troca de doações ou pedidos dos leitores — são permitidas apenas se todo o conteúdo for liberado gratuitamente após um atraso consistente.

Qualquer grupo que hospedar em seu próprio site ou em qualquer outro site externo lançamentos oficiais ou capítulos pertencentes a outros grupos sem permissão explícita e os devidos créditos está proibido de fazer upload de qualquer conteúdo no MangaDex.

Temos aplicado esses padrões informalmente há algum tempo, mas o aumento de abusos e de denúncias por parte dos usuários nos levou a formalizar essas políticas em forma de código.

Esta atualização garante que continuaremos a aplicar nossas regras de forma consistente e justa, sem exceções. A missão do MangaDex continua a mesma: ser uma plataforma livre e aberta que ainda permite que os grupos recebam apoio da comunidade.

 

[Trodsen]

Damn, thank you so much to all the dev team for implementing back the sitewide tag blacklist.

 

[zymosan99]

I just saw a ton of chapters for things disappear entirely, is this related to this change?

It is unrelated. We have received a dmca request for those chapters.

Note that this is the first time a takedown happened on this scale. Before it was just singular manga on the direct request of the author, or Naver because they're scary.

The unavailable chapter listings (a v3 feature where you can see the chapter but can't access the images) will return asap.
For the users that care about the comments or use chapter read markers for tracking (please don't) don't worry; the comments and markers will return.
The users that want a list of what has been taken down will have to wait for said feature too.

Edit: We know you all have many questions. More information will be provided in due time.

Do you have a list of what all got nuked? Super sad to see this go down

 

[coldacid]

Yeah, please give us a list of what's been taken down and who requested it. The number of series I've been following that have been massacred by this is insane.

 

[DrtLckd]

Wish there was a way to know what got taken down, was surprised to see my uploads just go down, without knowing that they were

 

[HoesLuvHerro]

Not my 100 girlfriends manga…

Also My dress up darling and others damm

Edit: I was reading Seitokai Yakuindomo too…

 

[Ahkatsura]

My MD list now sort by the added to list date while before it's sorted by latest update chapter, can it be changed to what it is before?

What’s the likelihood that any of these series’s get put back up?

 

[zymosan99]

0%, its a copyright takedown and they're technically in the right

 

[Volcanron]

Absolutely love that so many series are now locked behind apps you need to pay for after 3 weeks and not available in the vast majority of countries, this is definitely going to help many 👍

 

[Klwnny]

all gone
