| I thought onemanga didn't have mangas with heavy sexual/pornographic content to begin with. They removed many mangas I read :( BRING BACK VAGABOND! |
| I didn't realise OneManga has some serious nudity/sexual content. I always though it tried to avoid any sexual material. The worst I have read on there is Wolf Guy and to be honest I hope it does get removed. The creator is pretty tapped and although having a rape in it is pretty bad, it has gone too far now with a school massacre and some kid having his tongue bit out with the guy who'd done it then crapping on him. Edit. Just checked to see if anything else has been removed and it seems non-mature series are also starting to be cut or suspended on OneManga as they are being asked to remove them by the publishers. Claymore and Suzuka have been suspended and probably more. |

Yeah but it's not like he protrayed it as something good unlike gazillion shoujo mangas where the heroine gets raped and eventually falls in love with the rapist *Mayu Shinjo I'm looking at you* He wanted to emphasize the monsterous nature of Haguro and his gang contrary to Akira's who believe that he was a monster in the eyes of humans. |

| So i'm thinking I should get started on reading Berserk and Vagabond before they're banished from the interwebs forever(well atleast until this crap calms down). I think the bigger annoyances are Air Gear, Claymore, and Highschool of the Dead being gone. :I |

| The same thing is happening over Onemanga too :( |

Xtrazi said: I find it a little odd how much people are complaining about this. MangaFox is a FREE online website with various sources that uploads manga that you can read for FREE instead of costing you a fortune. So they removed some stuff, maybe to save their hide, or maybe it was done without their consent. That doesn't change the fact that they have so many other manga on their site that's readily available for your convenience. Mangafox doesn't owe us anything, but yet they're willing to spend time and money to gather all those manga for our pleasure of reading. Sure, the ads are annoying but it's necessary to keep them alive. An analogy for this would be a bunch of people that's given free meals every day. Wonderful portions, so many varieties for free. But yet one day, the free meal varieties had to cut down on one of it's many categories. So instead of appreciating the free meals still of still many varieties, the kids just bitch and moan about how they should get more, when the people owes them nothing. Couldn't have said it better myself. While I'm against the idea of censorship and not crazy about this move myself, I can still see Mangafox and OneManga's position in this. Advertisers are what help pay their bandwidth bills. Also, I don't think anyone has pointed this out yet, but there could be legal issues with this as well seeing as you need to accept a license agreement to use Google's adsense service. Which puts those sites in a bad spot, so you really can't blame them for removing questionable material while they are under investigation. And it's my understanding that those sites are currently reevaluating the removed series. In any case, people bitching need to learn to deal and search elsewhere if one site doesn't have what they want or go straight to the scanlators' sites/IRC channels and get their manga there. It's not like it's hard to find any of those series in question. |
| This is my opinion: Google is a big company that shoves it's weight around demanding things.. as others have mentioned - Youtube explains that. They cannot control the worldwide internet by filtering and filtering. I am a yaoi and yuri fan and the action both Google and NOEZ took was insane. Yes, maybe I would show a bit of empathy towards both if I were in their shoes. However, it is art - and I do not like being told what to use my eyes for. There are many varieties of manga; with different story-lines and drawings. They should each manually read the manga they take off, because some have a good story line which balances out the "other" images. As loads of you have mentioned; there are loads of films, programmes and games etc displaying violence. If you are responsible, then you would not go out and copy what you see. It goes for manga too. There are very few cases where people are not responsible, but it is not fair for us to get pigeonholed aswell. |
| making a signature at the moment >:) |
| Onemanga is totally useless now. I used to use Mangafox and Onemanga exclusively, but when the shit hit the fan I went looking for new sites and found good replacements. Mangafox is still cool for the most part. They just banned loli content and no longer seem to put mature updates on the main page. Half my list is gone from onemanga. |

| ^ This whole thing just makes me rage! I'm not even sure who's responsible anymore. Of course Google is being a tool, but the hosts for the adds are the ones who complained and they complained because of some insane loony on a ridiculous crusade. At least that's what I get from it. I'm not angry at the websites I'm just saddened by America. As things are though Onemanga is no longer worth my visit. Just how it is.. Time to look elsewhere. |

| Well here to all the people who are bothering to defend Mangafox (for what ever god awful reason.) This was posted by the owner of MangaToshokan. Looks like Mangatoshokan is the only site that actually has a pair. Instead of just playing the blame game and saying "boo hoo the site might be closed down if we don't take it up the ass :(" .....I'm so glad I moved on to greener pastures. Posted by Mizi on Apr 28, 2010 Before the interview, we have an IMPORTANT announcement. Recently, other large manga sites have been removing mature manga from their readers causing concern among our users. We assure you that MangaToshokan will NOT be removing any of our mature manga from the site. MangaToshokan is a fan run site and we will not allow our advertisers to dictate to us how do they want our site to be run. If an advertiser does not like how we are running the site, we will simply find a new advertiser. |

| even if the manga is just a shoujo manga they still removed it TT^TT |
Do you know where hell is? Inside your head.  Put your wishes into the memories you do not want to forget. |
| it sucks that some of the more common sites are becoming useless, but i guess that encourages people to go exploring huh? |
 |
| I was pretty pissed about it. They are still removing a lot of titles, some yaoi titles I can still search. |
| Jigero, defending it is not the issue. The issue is that you're being a close-minded ass that bashes everything, no matter how obvious your response would be. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
HawthorneKitty said: Jigero, defending it is not the issue. The issue is that you're being a close-minded ass that bashes everything, no matter how obvious your response would be. Close minded about what? Whats to be close minded too? Mangafox is a half broken piece of crap now, Mangatoshokan is not and its better. Logic would dictate this a is a simple choice. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| I'm still not sure what everyone is on about. If a site sucks for something particular that you like, find a better site (in this case, Mangatoshokan). Problem solved. |

| I have recently been informed that more and more sites are having their mature content completely erased. Roughly two weeks ago OneManga decided to remove all of their mature rated content. This week Google decides to ban mature content on Manga Fox. Although they are a private company, I am curious as to everyone's opinions of their actions.* We aren't the "Great Firewall of China". http://korosuanime.blogspot.com/2010/04/google-against-hentaiyuriyaoi.html |

| they are a private company and they can do whatever they want. |
 Xiaoling Squirrel; baddest rodent in the forest. |
| Yeah, I really don't see the big deal with mature content. I mean if you look at many of the movies that come out today there's nudity left and right. Why is it the manga form causes so much conflict? Essentially it's a typical overreaction. They went to stop lolicon/shotacon (to stop child pornography) and then BAM! get rid of everything mature. Overkill, much? |
 |
| Removing mature content is not going to make the situation any better. |
| god forbid the manga sites find a different advertiser instead of just taking up the ass. |

lovely-sasusaku said: SIGN THIS PETITION http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/StopAnimeRemoval Oh boy an online petition! cause those work, I hardly think google gives a shit, heaven forbid we move on to a different site, or you know the manga sites stop using fucking google ads. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Thread merged. |
| I also highly endorse Mangatoshokan they are freaking awesome! I also revise what I said earlier about mangafox. For the first few days of all this crap they did keep most mature titles. Now they are almost totally gone so screw them. |
| They did that on onemanga too. It was annoying at first but I found some other sites so im not that pissed anymore |
| eh i just find other ways to get the manga but it is a irritation for sure |
     --The dawn is darkest before the sunrise-- |
| Battle Club recently got removed from Mangafox. YAY |
| あらあら。。。＾＾ |
radiantfire said: Highschool of the Dead...Name some of the series they removed. |
| Google is just irritating first they fuck up youtube with their ads in most fucking videos and now their making mangafox remove manga with the tags mentioned in the first post but seriously mangafox sucks if they just give in like that seriously advertisers do help pay the bandwith but can't they just grow balls and get new advertisers....geez >.< |
 |
| Bleh, yen press had a field day with their manga too, asked OM to remove 07 ghost and PH :/ bad times, that means I have to use effort to find them again, or a better site. |
kkslider5552000 said: who cares? This is the internet. You fail at the internet if you can't find the manga again somewhere else anyway. (probably with Google search, which is hilariously ironic) This. Kids these days! Back in my day, we had to manually download all our manga which were low quality scans using Comic Sans MS font and often had questionable translations which were sometimes missing all together and we liked it! All of this on dialup to boot! *shakes cane* Seriously people, get over it. These sites are providing a free service and can do whatever the hell they want. If they want to turn it into a Hello Kitty fansite, they can. Find your manga elsewhere and get over your entitlement issues. |
| Ugh. It's stupid, isn't it? I don't read those manga either way, but really? Lots of people read manga with those labels. It's not fair. |
gerb234 said: radiantfire said: Highschool of the Dead...Name some of the series they removed. Yeah, that was my first clue that it was time to find a better site. |
| Ohhh...that's why. I was wondering what happened. I don't go to mangafox anyway since I caught malware last time I visited it. |
mellow-osity said: Oh, I got worried about Wolf Guy when I read about this, but it's still there. Also, wtf people. Manually downloading manga used to be the only way to read it "online". So you loose some convenience - big deal. For many people, when convenience is all you have, convenience is all you want. In that same line of thought, I find that it's easer to find sites that have each page from a given manga uploaded than to find the same manga in a download/torrent packet (of course, this varies from series to series). |
| I was sad when i was trying to continue some manga i was reading and then it was gone.. T^T |
