Reupload +update

As you probably already know, Mangadex just recently got hit by a massive DMCA claim from several major Japanese publishing companies spanning thousands of titles. Shogakukan, the publisher behind Weekly Shonen Sunday and M***R, also took part in this. As of now, M***R, and all of Mitsuda's works for that matter, were spared, but there's still the possibility of it being taken down later if their intention is to remove everything by Shogakukan. I'm calling it the Mangadex City bombing because, even if I survived the initial blast that blew half the building off, I don't know if there's a secondary device just waiting to go off, or if the floor is going to crumble underneath me any second now. Even if I survived, all I'm left with is fear and uncertainty.

When you go to upload now, you also get This cheeky little thing:

Which actually doesn't affect me since everyone who knows me will know that me and Mitsuda have a (totally not parasocial) beautiful and intimate relationship. But seriously now, as I've gathered, this essentially means that Mangadex is trying to cover their ass and is shifting the blame onto scanlators directly in case of any legal troubles. I'll probably keep uploading here as long as the chapters don't get taken down, but I'd have to think about it.

I'm not going to give you a Discord link or anything, I don't do that stuff. If the worse does happen, I'd have to discuss other ways of uploading with Cloneable at that time. At any rate, it will be your job to come and find me, not mine.

I'm going to quote myself from another thread, but I could not call myself a scanlator worthy of working on M***R if I didn't get up again after falling down just once. My resolve hasn't wavered, and it's still my intention to work on this until completion, even if that means working on chapters with nowhere to upload them.

Scanlators are gonna need to be more dispersed than this. The Mangadex basket was very nice to put all your eggs in but unfortunately it's being stolen. :shamihuh:

Post in Bato.to, bro.

Batoto was Mangadex before Mangadex became Mangadex.
Meh, isn't that the website where people go post Korean stuff to? I'm just parroting stuff I've been reading on a couple of threads since I'd have no way of knowing myself, but apparently the current Batoto is a different website than the original one (since it got shut down) that just uses the same name, and it's a huge downgrade from what it originally was. I've used it to read rips of official content and maybe a couple of scans here and there in the past and the ads are a cancer (yes I read on my phone without an adblocker because I'm a zoomer FAGGOT and there's nothing I can ever do to change that fact), and since they have to bow down to the advertisers they have these stupid rules on what kind of content is and isn't allowed on the site, so I don't think it's going to be a viable alternative going forward.
Besides, I checked and the uploads for M***R are all over the place, there's several different entries for the same title all with different uploads and it's a complete mess, and apparently you have to contact them on Discord to get upload permissions? Sounds like a pain...beats uploading to some shitty aggregator that's been stealing my work all this time though, I guess. It would seem that only a handful of people care about this series, so just sending the chapters directly to people is also an option LOL. Again I'd have to think about it and also talk with Cloneable on whether or not he still feels comfortable uploading here. So much for the scanlator-friendly website...

That...sounds like a pain. Don't ask selfish stuff of me when I already give my time and labor for free

I'm just saying that before MangaDex, chapters were posted on lots of different sites but lately there's been no backup to Mangadex which makes DMCA takedowns a lot more devastating than before.
