hechec said: I dont see manga fox lasting long because if the official letter posted by the publishers along with mangatoshokan and one manga, manga fox was cited as one of the big time violators, so I dont think they will allow manga fox to keep operating unless they do a server jump to a country they cant be touched in Mangafox is based in China. And we all know how they view property rights... *cough*http://www.techi.com/2010/05/iped-launches-for-105-in-china-runs-on-android/*cough* It's unlikely that they'll actually get shut down unless for some reason they run afoul of the Chinese government. Not saying it couldn't happen, but since the Chinese don't crack down on the copy markets, I really don't see them cracking down on this. |

pinopanosh said: well gotta get back to irc and downloading via scanlator sites then or smth.. expect incoming zerge of idiots that dont know how to use XDCC |
| lol there will be other websites... if you havn't notice not everyone cars about the law... people will always scan manga. It's exactly like pirating... they're gonna do it anyway :D |
  |
| Fuuuuuuuuuck, I know there's other sites (like the hideous MangaFox) but still. OneManga was perfect. |
 |
| Well this is disappointing. OM was great, but I still have 1000manga, MangaFox and MangaVolume to use. |
 |
| DARN IT!! |
     |
| OH NOES NOW ITS HARDER TO GET FREE MANGA AND STEAL FROM THE CREATORS OMG WTF |
 |
| Sad. I'll miss getting updates and reading manga from my phone. Guess I have to try and remember how to use mIRC. |

Anyone that believes that the internet has any relevence to popularity in real life outside of maybe horrible memes doesn't live in the real world anyway. I found another site by using google search for like 30 seconds so this is a non-issue anyway. Justin Bieber started on youtube. The internet has relevance to popularity. Quit lying to yourself.

Just DL everything from Mangatraders. Or you know, form the channels/websites/trackers of actual scanlators, successfully bypassing the ad-revenue-driven greedy "online manga hosting" business. Not all scanlations are available on scanlator sites. Especially dead groups. |

   |
| Aww... I used to go to OneManga before I switched to MangaFox. D: If all the manga sites get taken down... how will I read my manga? I don't have the money and what if I don't like it after I buy it? |
 |
| It's sad but they have to the right(legal) thing... I'm happy they are nice people... (Maybe somehow somewhere, a clone site might emerge, you never know :smirk:) |
| i'm soooooooooo upset!! |

hechec said: Its a shame an era is dieing, but its also bad on the publishers part I understand they need someone to blame for low sales but realistically if they were to release half of the manga that is only avalible in Japan this wouldnt be an issue. I understand sales, money and so forth but a majority of people got hooked on Manga because of sites like one manga, I purchase manga all the time but I got into manga because of one manga, if I read a story I liked I purchased it in stores if I could find it. They are only hurting themselves by forcing many of these sites to shut down, Mangatoshokan changed to Mahwa, One manga is changing business model, but what type of model without violating copy right. it just a shame the publishers are forcing the closers without providing any substituion for the manga we are losing, i dont know japanese and do not live in japan, how are we to access manga that may never reach the US, There is manga in Japan at volume 10 while here in the US we are only up to volume 2, they are stupid for niot thinking this through they wants fans to buy manga but dont publish and release on the same scale for the US, they get volume 10 of a good series meanwhile we wait and wait for a volume 3 maybe 6 to 12 months. Its a shame, damm shame DAMN U ARE SOO RIGHT T.T |
 |
| I get the part about the publishes getting no profits, but it's just sad that OneManga has to go. It's a really neat site, and if something as great as it has to go, why don't the others, too? I know it's bad for manga readers, but really, where's the equity in this? They should have closed up the other sites instead, especially those with a whole lot worse formatting that don't do the manga justice at all. D: |
belatkuro said: OneManga shutting down leaves me in despair. |
| I don't have one. |
| oh shit!!now i have to use Mangafox...but if Mangafox also shut down ..i'll jump from a very very high building D:< and then die!!.. lol but seriously ....Onemanga is a great great great site...it is where i started reading manga : (..Damn perhaps 2012 really do exist.. D: |
| Damn it... I was so upset when I received the e-mail from my friend with the news... Now I'll have to read portuguese and spanish scans... Even then, the more obscure series are usually only in English... Don't they understand that the online scanlations were their main source of publicity? Many people buy the mangas they read online if it's available in their country =/ |
   |
 greedy people! they killed OneManga |
| Good. Maybe people will actually go out and buy manga now. LOL as if. Cheapskates. |
You can find me on IRC. |
Kuyukly said: Good. Maybe people will actually go out and buy manga now. LOL as if. Cheapskates. Go buy manga from where? Not everyone lives in USA or other countries that could have licensed a couple of them. And please, don't tell me to buy them online cause I don't trust the net enough to do that. If I have to buy from the net because they don't sell anime/manga in my country, i'm better off downloading or reading online. If they want me to buy their manga, they should open up store here too or fuck off. |

Ripper said: the internet is already in the real world get used to it, and i don´t have facebook, hi5 or some other shitty social thing. and i guess you never tried to buy manga 10 years ago. I still have some kickass gundam and dragon ball Z manga from when was like 9 or 10. And I live in a small town that has no giant outlets of any type. So your example is a clear fail. Fail harder. |

The fact is they want it free, and SOMETHING will be used to justify them not paying no matter what. |

But in the age of piracy everything is available, but if you can't find it yourself you don't deserve to have it. |
| OneManga was the best. I'll just be a lil bit less convenient getting all them mangas. |

fertygo said: Onemanga is popular enough to make a news in japanese site ? waw Exactly my thought. xD swagoon said: lol dont worry too much,... ill bet there will be other onemanga similar site coming in the future there already are like 100 other sites ... just google OneManga is a toilet site, who cares about it? |

Arariel said: Onemanga is WEAK! Like they didnt know that what they are doing is illegal THIS IS HOW I FEEL! D: Pansy quiters. =_= I don't see why they at LEAST keep up non-licensed manga. Psh. |
NightGaze said: I don't see why they at LEAST keep up non-licensed manga. Psh. So manga being published in Japan first doesn't neccesarily count as "licensed" manga? |
Hypeathon said: NightGaze said: I don't see why they at LEAST keep up non-licensed manga. Psh. So manga being published in Japan first doesn't neccesarily count as "licensed" manga? Technically, no. Technically yes. As it's the internet, its a grey zone. Being licensed TECHNICALLY means that a company or corporation or person owns the rights to distribute in the region. Our region being north America. And since once manga is based in north america, and nobody owns the rights to it....its TECHNICALLY unlicensed. If I'm wrong on that, or if someone can explain it more clearly then I did, please correct me. |
hechec said: It makes me laugh good sites like one manga get shut down meanwhile virus central manga fox is still up and running and adding series, can we see there is something wrong with this. One manga we didnt have to deal with the 1000 videos and talking ads loaded with viruses, it a bad day when Manga fox is allowed to remain while OM is killed off Uuugh. I hate those talking ads. =__= Onemanga was the only site I've found so far that didn't have those! |
Hypeathon said: NightGaze said: I don't see why they at LEAST keep up non-licensed manga. Psh. So manga being published in Japan first doesn't neccesarily count as "licensed" manga? Well, I mean in North America or another country. I can't exactly read a manga in another language. So if it's not available to buy in my country then I don't have the option to read it. Legally or otherwise. Because I DO buy a lot of the manga I read. |
| manga fox did take off all of their ecchi, loli and anything else fun off for about.... a week, a few months ago, but its all back, (except they wont allow licensed works anymore), which is good, but, it's still sad to loose OM |
| Meh, I very rarely used OM myself. I usually went to MangaFox. But I did use OneManga on occasion, so I am kinda sad to lose it. Thankfully I started downloading my manga instead. A lot easier not having to worry about losing it. |

Right, which leads to my point that just because a manga is not licensed within your country doesn't neccesarily mean it was never licensed. Nearly every manga that exists has been at least released by a Japanese publisher, thus it's technically licnesed because it's that certain Japanese publisher's product to begin with. It's not as if scanlators upload doujinshi or anything. That being said, I do understand what you meant by what you said and hey, that's great you buy manga! More power to you. The bottom line I'm merely saying is that it would be more accurate to say "non-licensed manga within this country" as oppose to just "non-licensed manga." Also to the SabinLerose guy, I didn't miss your comment, I just didn't have much to say about it. |

Thats why it's a grey zone. Since the servers hosting the content are on American Soil it technically means its under region one licensing. Japan is not a part of region one, thus is it not licensed. |

Since the servers hosting the content are on American Soil it technically means its under region one licensing. Japan is not a part of region one, thus is it not licensed. Right, I'm aware of the different regions. That being said, that doesn't dismiss the fact most manga still belong to the Japanese to begin with that companies/publishers from other regions would sort of need their permission to acquire. That's more or less what makes the whole procedure legal as oppose to scanlations. Even if the Japanese only have the rights to it in their own region, American companies can't just acquire a title out of thin air. I'm sure it would involve consulting the Japanese first. It's still their product until further notice and I don't personally believe it's a "grey area" if scanlations sites upload a Japanese publisher's product anywhere on the internet, regardless of region if it's without that publisher's permission. Thus that's why I think it makes more sense to say "unlicensed within your own country/region" as oppose to simply saying "unlicensed." |

kindergraph said: i don't see why anyone thinks this is a big deal. i've never used onemanga or mangafox or any site like it, i just...download from the scanlators. the scans are higher quality and more readable, and not covered in jpeg grit. it'd be like complaining if crunchyroll got shut down. who cares? Eh, some people prefer to just read rather than download. My friend's computer is old and slow, so she can't download and Mangafox makes it worse, so OM was a big deal. So I guess it could be bad for people in that situation. |
