One Manga Closing


Recommended Posts

I'm sure most manga fans have heard of One Manga. It was the place where I first started reading manga and the place where I would start reading new series. Even with Manga Stream getting manga sooner, they take them down after a few weeks meaning it was at least my go to place for all the manga chapters I could read. It's closing has made me a sad panda.

 

This is what they have to say on the matter.

"It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it. We have decided to abide by their wishes' date=' and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site. The removal of content will happen gradually (so you can at least finish some of the outstanding reading you have), but we expect all content to be gone by early next week (RIP OM July '10).

So with them gone what are other places that have manga series in their whole? Also any idea if Manga Stream will follow?

NOOOOOOOO- wait, there are cleaner scans in other places. Still, it's sad to hear that a place where I've experienced so much manga is going away forever. I just recently read some KnJ there (as a backup for mangareader's missing pages). Hopefully mangafox will be able to hold their ground, they're my main source for several series. But I always use mangastream for the series I'm reading at their latest. The quality... yeah! Super.

 

By the way, Moyashimon is a good series. If only I knew a place where they have it (if there even is such a place)...

Yes it is sad because it is the first manga site I every use but now I use mangastream because onemanga was slow.

The problem with mangastream is you can read series from start to end.

 

I hope it doesn't happen to other sites. This could be a problem...

Yea. Right now it seems like OM is closing on it's own, but if they start to crack down, this could be a problem.

 

Any way, what other sites do you know of that can take the place of OM. Right now Manga Fox seems like it might be a good replacement.

MangaFox always screws up my computer. I don't want it to be my backup. D:

 

And since this is a legal thing' date=' it's more than likely that other sites will follow.

What other places are their?

 

Right now I'm holding out hope that others won't follow since no other site has said anything about the legal problems even though they know that issues are developing.

I think that mangafox is better since they've got more titles but I really liked OM first since it was really easy to navigate around and there weren't a lot of ads either. =( I don't think that the other sites will close too soon since OM was more strict on legal policies.
