they removed, mature, yoai, yuri, lolicon, shota and adult. Basically anything with sex and nudity in it. Because Google Adsense told NOEZ the owner to do so and they cracked like little bitches and removed everything, and all the Mods are being little pussies about it and not even trying to get those manga back. But what ever there is plenty of other manga sites on the web.

What I think is funny is that they don't think it's ok to post explicit series but scans of licensed mangas are for the most part totally ok.

I am personally not going to miss the yaoi/yuri section nor the shota/loli one but I find it ridiculous that they banned everything with those tags (not to mention the "mature" one). Even if I understand the somewhat dubious reasons why. What I would suggest them to do is to just make them readable for logged in members that have an age of 18+ and remove the ones that according to them have inappropriate content. Sure, this can easily be passed by the underaged users but then it's them who is at fault if their parents gets outraged when finding them reading Highschool of the Dead or Battle Vixens.

Whats to understand? Mangafox rather have advertising on their site, that is annoying, and been know to give people viruses and of malware. Instead actually try to bring people good manga. Mangafox is shit now, end of story

Hell I won't even go on mangafox anymore unless I'm using a computer with firefox and ABP.

Yea I know it does, but Google adsense isn't the only one out there, and it doesn't make their site any less shittier for removing manga to make the advertisers happier. Not to mention there are alot more sites out there that are alot better then mangafox. So in the end you can defend Mangafox all you want, but it's still shit.

Yes mature genre is still there but they removed a crap ton of manga in said genre.

Hmm, yesterday it said they were blocked because they were mature titles with extreme sexual content, so they can't display it. But thank you I gotta get started on Arigatou. (Not shojo sect, I put up with ads and read it on an animeA, it sucks.)

I know right? lol

Some series are going to be removed though. I think anything that is lolicon or shotacon will definitely be removed.

From my understanding, here's what happened:
1. Google didn't like how the site featured "questionable" material (e.g., lolicon)
2. Google complained to the site owner, NOEZ
3. NOEZ, without consulting MangaFox, decided to block off anything that was considered "adult" or "mature"
4. MangaFox tried to bring back as many of the mature series as possible - a process that has induced them to fully block or "remove" some series (e.g., Kodomo no Jikan)

MangaFox isn't at fault. The staff there are merely abiding by regulations.

I see so the link for the first page of a chapter is hidden or blocked, now that's remind me, thanks for the hint

Not necessarily the first page of a chapter, rather access to the chapters themselves. They are still there. Use Google to find them.

Some chapters are definitely blocked though and the only way to access them is to access backups (e.g., via MangaFox Mobile).

Why the f would Sanctuary be under heavy protection? Is there a lot of nudity? I've never read it so..

I think it's still in consideration. What MangaFox is doing right now is going through all the series that was blocked to determine whether they feature "questionable" content.

I'm curious to why the fuck Google would care. They've featured ads on plenty of "unsavory" sites, let alone ones that features Japanese comics. Seems like a rash lawyer/PR damage control in the extremely unlikely event someone links the content of a small percentage of comics to the Google ads.

I'm inclined to agree with Jigero; you can say most comics are "just blocked" all you want, (although it appears Battle Royale is completely inaccessible) but for readers, it disinclines them from visiting and reading the site as much.

I already left for greener grounds. It has all of the series I'm currently reading, higher quality and fewer ads. Their auto-load feature is also awesome and the reading list is great. It also doesn't hurt that I'm not supporting "the man" (in China, or something).

This move by Google has seriously crippled Mangafox, even if they only end up removing loli and shota.

Your still not getting the point, Most of those manga I mentioned are on going and because of the bullshit blocking and removal they can't be updated so it still makes them useless.

Better then nothing? I beg to differ.
lets see I can use mangafox where.
A. is riddled with annoying ads that have been know to give malware.
B. Have to use an ass backwards way of finding manga and getting at manga
C. Blocks manga or removes it cause google told them so
D. Re-sizes images
E. Can't update ongoing blocked manga.
F. Whats stopping Noez from doing this bullshit all over again.

or I can use you know Mangatoshokan, or AnimeA that don't suffer from any of the above. Hell using Mangaupdates and Onemanga is still a better option. Hmmmmm hard choice there.

The Mods are bitches because they are doing nothing to fix the problem they are only cleaning up Noez mess, barely. It's like placing a get well kiss on a gun shot wound, it's a nice sentiment but ultimately solves nothing.

at the end of the day, mangafox is still a pile of shit now, the mods are a bunch bitches and there is better options. this bullshit only put a stake in a manga site that was already bottom rung.

Well, it seems like they're getting around it for some series. I noticed quite a few yaoi series now under the shounen-ai tag, which isn't really all that accurate.

Anyway, I'm not really a MangaFox fan because of the terrible quality of the images. Mangatoshokan is slowly building up a really large collection and the quality is just like downloading.

One manga has got hit hard. Basically they has to manual go threw all the mature manga and determine how "bad" if its "bad" enough they take it down. As of now its just the mature category but I'm sure that it will spread to other types as well.

We are currently doing a sweep of all mature series on the site to look for and remove images that are deemed pornographic.

I checked out the other mature manga that I've read and they seem to still be intact. ^^; None of the mangas I've read had any pornography; the actual junk isn't seen.

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.
