No! I actually use that site! I don't want it to shut down.. :x ....I guess I'll use a different site then...

Seems logical, if they did not have any legal permissions to post/upload/etc said mangas, I do not see a reason why they should be allowed to operate. Ideally, there would be legal means to view manga online in a "streaming" format if you will, as we have seen with some animes. However, the lack of any such services does not validate what amounts to theft. ^^VonLund

Time to rage.

So sad to see them go. There are plenty of more manga sites out there though.

I'm not really concerned about the manga site closing, it was a lousy site to begin with, I used it for a while but it tends to give naruto scans like two days AFTER the other sites have it, they have a pretty good collection though. So I moved to mangastream What concerns me is the fact that manga is going private now, that in a not far away future we won't be able to see any manga unless we pay for it....it's fair...and yet sadDarthkaiser

They lost "potential" buyers! Of course it's their fault!

X has never bought a manga. X read a manga on Y website which uploads translated versions of mangas. X liked the manga so much that he bought it! As for the possibility of losing customers, I highly doubt it because many are accostmed to buying mangas especially when it costs them little. Many of those who buy actual books and I'm one of them TRADE those mangas for other books or RESELL them. Big deal!

And then there are people who have no choice but to read mangas online. I come from a region where everything is censored so even buying online won't do it. Not mention the number of countries which ship to mine, they can be counted with fingers.

I have the feeling this is going to back fire for the publishers.

These kinds of sites helped build the strong Manga industry by showing people lesser known manga. This could lead to only the top manga surviving in the US, and hurt sales.

If a crunchyroll like site showed up for manga with cheap or even free manga, that would be awesome, but I fear that won't happen.

I use to go there. I read raw manga elsewhere.

Also, there are 85k people at the onemanga forums right now. :O

Just found out about this. I do use a couple other manga sites but One Manga was the one I use the most so I will miss it very much.:(

Well, it's where I went for to read a lot of unheard-of manga and manhwa series. But there are still plenty of options: mangareader, mangafox, just to name two sites. Tbh onemanga isn't the fastest with its releases. It has a wide selection but I just wanna get my Naruto chapters every week. It's one of the only mainstream series that I like, and it's getting really good right now.

Never cared for that site cause it seems to lack lots of volumes.6_volts

Somewhat true.

Used to rely on OneManga for Lost Canvas and Next Dimension though :| Will have to look elsewhere.

Guys is there any other manga site that is as large and diversified as onemanga?

it's stupid it's only meant to hurt the people who like their manga's think about it why do people read most of them so they don't have to buy it? go to borders sit down read all the books and walk out didn't cost me a dime just takes more time than my computer i read scans cause it's not unheard of for a manga to be 2-300 chapters behind what it is in japan by the time some English publisher buys the license and try's putting them out they are some times done in japan worse yet 50% of japans manga's aren't worth the money to them to translate and print double arts one of my favorite never made it to a manga at all only place you can find it in Japanese or English is online if not for OneManga i never would have even read it look i'm sorry you all feel cheated out of money but this wont make me buy it just makes me hate you no mater what protections you get I'm not buying your music or your movies or your manga's i'll still read them for free only difference is it will take two years longer tell i see them (if at all) hope they sleep better at night and it was all worth it to them

P.S every manga i own(which is a lot) i read online first every single one so i'll at least laugh if they make less money than they already feel is not enough and also most writers don't care and like the fans it's only the publishers who stand to lose money at all hows that for irony

Meh... I'm not interested in that stuff anymore.

Probably Mangafox, but I haven't really check that site much so I can't really tell how it is compare to One Manga. There was also MangaHelpers but I think they were shutdown a few weeks ago.

I read about this earlier. I guess I'll just start using MangaFox to read my weekly chapters of Bleach and Naruto.

You should also try Mangastream. They are pretty fast of uploading Naruto and Bleach chapters (usually midweek). I going to be using more of Mangafox for now but I have a feeling it going to be one of the next manga sites to be close down.

Anyone recommend me a good place? Somewhere with good, quality scans.

[QUOTE="felipebo"]Anyone recommend me a good place? Somewhere with good, quality scans.Hexagon_777

Stream only has newer chapters, Fox scans (for Bleach) are pixelated and ugly, and One is closed. I'm stumped.

I use Mangafox mainly, but the same thing could happen to it I guess. This just gives me incentive to finish some mangas now.

This is terrible news. All I have to say is good luck trying to get people to buy the manga. If anything, sites like Onemanga gave good publicity to mangas that would have otherwise received little to no attention at all.

R.I.P. you were a great site.

Sky-

I'm with you brother. Onemanga forums has been a second home for me aside from GS forums.
