    Site Update - 14th of May 2025

    What? Brother, I already said it and I'm just asking you to make the connection between these things by thinking about it. Here's what I said: And I'm saying, connect the reason why the good websites like MangaDex that operate with far less shady means, don't have ads/predatory practice but...

    Site Update - 14th of May 2025

    You're kind of missing the point because you're talking about the front-end ethics of piracy. How the back-end involving scanlators and web administrators works, is different. It's not a matter of whether you actually want ethics or not. Ethics simply fall into line because of the methodology of...

    Site Update - 14th of May 2025

    It's not. Massive shakeups like this happen a lot in the online manga reading community. People will adapt somehow. Well, I'm only speaking from how things have been for decades. By all means if you think this new model of operation will surface, pray and hope for it. I personally don't think...

    Site Update - 14th of May 2025

    No. Mangadex operates as legitimately and respectfully as they can for the kind of site that they are. That's just not how it works though if you know anything about how manga scanlation websites have been operating for like 20 years. When you make one that isn't horrible, it's because you're...

    Site Update - 14th of May 2025

    Those sites do exist. They're absolutely horrible, and I can't emphasize that enough. The usability of Mangadex is entirely because they aren't those kinds of websites. You can't usually have one trait without the other. The better a website is for the community, scanlators, the fandom, and...

    Site Update - 14th of May 2025

    User friendly? That's not what you should be worried about. You should be worried about what's scanlator-friendly. That's the main reason MangaDex is what it is. Online manga is anything, everything because of scanlators. Mangadex is the only place for us currently. But the community always...

    Danzai sareta Dame Ouji, Hiroimashita - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Misunderstanding

    The manga's devious tricks have worked on me already, because I already forgive that pathetic little goblin. 😂

    Koi Hajime wa Ochi Yuku Tsubaki no Shita de - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Tsubaki's Will

    Glad he is not 30, haha. Though in the first chapter, he is kicked out by his family for being "old enough" to be on his own. Since this seems Taisho era or perhaps around that time, I figured he must have been quite young still for them to have that mentality.

    Won't spoil too much, but the royals do indeed show up again!

    Danzai sareta Dame Ouji, Hiroimashita - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Misunderstanding

    Thanks for reading chapter 2 of Boyfailure Rising! I mean, of the Condemned, Useless Prince Gets Picked Up! We are working on chapter 3!

    Koi Hajime wa Ochi Yuku Tsubaki no Shita de - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Tsubaki's Will

    Thank you for reading chapter 2! It's a touching chapter where we get to see Haruichi connecting with Tsubaki's willingness to grow. We are working on chapter 3!

    Koi Hajime wa Ochi Yuku Tsubaki no Shita de - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Tsubaki and Haruichi

    It's not really evident to us in upcoming chapters how it will be yet, but we decided to scanlate this one because it has good story and characters. We did not get danger/gross vibes from it as it is now. It looks like an emotional drama about character growth from what we've seen.

    Koi Hajime wa Ochi Yuku Tsubaki no Shita de - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Tsubaki and Haruichi

    I'm interested in seeing where this goes too, though definitely hope for a time skip if there's romance lol. Also fine if it doesn't turn out as romance and Tsubaki has to learn to grow and love herself.

    Imokusa Reijou desu ga Akuyaku Reisoku wo Tasuketara Kiniiraremashita - Vol. 5 Ch. 25.5 - Little Brother's Tights and Friends on the Frontier

    To be fair, the manga is based on a LN, so the artist's account doesn't mean too much to the canon of the LN that is already finished. Not many chapters ago, Paul was blushing over a girl at his debut party and imagined having her be his future wife. All jokes aside even including the credits...

    Danzai sareta Dame Ouji, Hiroimashita - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - The Oshi Gets Picked Up

    Yay, it's nice to know people paid attention to our announcement page 😭 We are still hoping the other new series (Love Begins Under the Falling Camellias) gets some audience love, too! It's also very good.
