Good luck to them, will probably be hard to get good titles being a legal site and all.

Good thing that they are making a move since its pretty hard to get to read rare titles or the popular one's when your abroad studying. Also this keeps some manga titles alive and kicking much longer.

Although unless they add the popular titles on their database its going to be a tough battle against the existing manga websites that host fanlations or scanlated one's and the source websites with its raw manga's. Although there are some good titles their too that doesn't even exist on any manga websites which is pretty nice imo. (or i guess they can just pull of their brother Mr. DMCA to shut down other websites).

Although the website is pretty slow, when reading and turning pages its significantly faster, faster than the fan sites.

Translator's from existing groups probably will find this website interesting+

Looks interesting, I'll definitely be checking it out.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Am I the only one who thought this was about the manga Katekyo Hitman Reborn for a second there? Even though it already ended a while ago. Anyways, more of these websites is always a good thing, I guess.

Trying it out now. The pages seem to be loading rather slowly for me at the moment. But maybe that's just it being new.

Edit: better already.

Edit 2: Raidan Repression is awful.


Just a few pages i need to verify it

If that's the way you see news like this then has not MAL been a "crappy advertising portal" since its inception?

Some of us welcome finding out about this sort of thing.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Since when is it's MAL's purpose to report on the creation of manga websites? It doesn't matter whether it's legal or not, there already are a lot of them. I bet MAL was paid to do this.

I bet you're 13 or retarded.
The news forum is a forum dedicated to news related to manga and anime. This is related to manga. And it's new.

No one was paid for this (as it is with all the news we report). I chose to write this story because I thought it was interesting manga news. At this point there have been three legit manga portals; Digital Manga Guild (DMG), Jmanga, and Manga Reborn. Jmanga is defunct, DMG is mostly BL and Yaoi (though they are working on expanding their catalogue).

Since that is the case I thought this was significant enough news related to manga to report. It's something as manga person I know I'd want to find out about.

Wow... They actually accepted my request to be a letterer. Lol.

I'm still bad at that so lets see how it will go.

It looks interesting, but they need to vamp up the selection. It's mostly a bunch of older, hidden mangas.

Not that that's bad, but that's appealing to a very small audience even if you have some major titles like Itazura na Kiss.

But, it's still in Beta, so hopefully it'll expand. XP

Interesting site. I hope it does well and people start using it to scanlate more titles. The business strategy seems sound. As others have already said, if it can acquire more interest from some of the manga publishers and the scanlators, then it will do well.
