what do you mean five years? youngest of my nephews and nieces already have no clue what this "circular thingy with a hole in it" for :pacman:


Shame harmless monster moves from MD, understandable yet still a shame. Bigger shame is my country blocked discord and now I had to figure out the way to get on it again =\

Thanks for the (last) chapter here. Any particular reason why posting on MangaDex would lead to legal issues, aka has something changed?
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but yesterday over 1000 titles on MangaDex got DMCA’d. Series published by Shueisha, Kodansha, Square Enix, etc. had all but their most recent chapters pulled. It’s only like 10-20% of the titles here in total, but if you can think of a big series they probably got it.

This series is published by Shogakukan, which was one of the publishers whose series were in the DMCA. So while we were spared now, it can definitely happen again.

MD added a close you need to check that basically means you are saying MD you have permission from IP owner to post this said chapter. Legally MD would not be responsible in case of lawsuit but scanlator will be. No one with sense would want this shit. I guess a lot of scanlators are going to jump ship after this :(

it's 1200+ as of an hour ago and people still find items what were not added to list yet... This might be a biggest case of DMCA takedown yet. Also most of the previous ones were done only to manga in english but this time it's "you cannot post this title here in any language"

Ichinose is so pure that she's even afraid to accidentally see a porn recording on a DVD-RW disc. People like that still exist? Or is she an angel?

Probably in another 5-6 years, technology without touchpads and digital format will be perceived as tube TVs and analog technologies today.

Yeah, it’s that part that gets me. MangaDex is no stranger to DMCAs - early on I think Viz told them not to have One Piece, MHA, Demon Slayer, OPM, Act-Age, and Househusband scans, and they agreed - but then you could just excuse that because Manga Plus was right there. But now? They pulled down every series they could, including titles that have no official English translation. Even series that were only like two volumes long that nobody would care to license.

I honestly don’t know what their goal is. At least MangaDex had standards - no official scans, links to where you can buy the official releases - but now if someone wants to read a title they’ll just go to mangasee123.com to get aggregate scans. It’ll hit them even more.

It's always a matter of exerting power where they can reach, the low-hanging fruit. Like a cop pulling over the slowest person speeding since it's too much trouble to pull over the other people driving at even higher speeds. Like doing something makes it feel like they are making progress in their fight against piracy which will never end, or showing shareholders that they're doing something for the bottom dollar.

So, in the past, any series that got licensed stopped being fan published here?

no, but generally the only time MD got a DMCA was for a series that was licensed
It's just that in the past one of the manga that I read was apparently dropped by the translator after the English localization got to the fan translation.

yeah, scanlators usually moved away on their own. some didn't. for most of the time all this was not the problem as most western publishers either did not give a shit, or even saw some good in it (at least some official translations are eerily alike to fan ones). This time it a jap-korean coop of big publishers on the crusade against the thing they have no idea about.

asians have a very old-school approach to copyright. It is not money they care about, they'd happily lose money if it meant cracking on piracy for good. Can't do anything about these types except wait for them to die out.
