Wow, have you ever been to a large Barns&Noble or a Borders store? Because they have couches and sofas around the place just so people can sit there and READ. -_- I do it all the time. If they didnt want people to hang there and read they wouldnt have comfy chairs lying around the place. P: Especially Borders has a nice bench in its Manga section. its so nice there. Every weekend I go there and read for 3 hours and nobody tells me to gtfo. P: |

Yes you can sit in those chairs and read but usually(from my experience) if the employees of the book store see you sitting in the aisle or sitting in the chair reading piles of books for a significant amount of time, they will make you leave because at that point it's obvious you aren't trying to purchase anything and are treating it as a library. Well yeah, you SHOULD buy something too and not just sit there and read everyday. And yes I have bought mangas too and I have my own little manga collection, I'm just saying that if the store has chairs around for you to sit and read, it is NOT frown upon. I don't buy manga every time I go there but whenever I have enough money and I find something I like/want, I buy it. P: |

People go to there to buy stuff not read the stuff. Every time I see a twilighttard reading vampire knight manga in the middle of book store, i want to puinch the guy. Reading stuff in the middle of shop is even more low that online piracy. Can I read in the store even if I'm planning to buy it? Cause I do that anyways. Also, my book store has chairs everywhere so you can read inside the store. That's why they put chairs in the store. |

I don't buy manga every time I go there but whenever I have enough money and I find something I like/want, I buy it. P: I understand that and sitting in the chairs and reading in the store isn't bad but typically when I think of anime/manga fans reading in the store, it's people lying all over the manga/graphic novel section reading for hours, blocking anyone else who may actually be purchasing something. Sadly, 8/10 I don't see a lot of these people buying anything after they've read several volumes of manga, and have been preventing others from getting any books...it's incredibly annoying. THIS THIS THIS. > You Enter the Book Store. > You go to the corner with manga stuff. > You see a number of fat ~14-17 year old fat kids standing there. > Fat Kid licks his finger to turn naruto/bleach/wanpiss/whateverothershonenstuff manga pages. > Fat Kid Snickers. > Fat Kid throws manga anywhere and runs off to get another one(usually some random other manga). > Another one shouts in grumbly voice that "that cartoon sucks because it has no action". > Fat Kid repeats that for few times. > Security/Seller/ShopOwner comes shouting at them to get out. > Censored dialogue happens. > Fat Kids leave. > Two or three more enter in their place place to do the same stuff. > Pretty Much all manga volumes are in pretty bad shape as result. Bought Pluto Vol1 few weeks ago, only to find out that half of the book is full of pencil charicatures done by some imbecile kid. Thankfully got it replaced. Behold the standard one-manga community. |

| @Fai: Wow okay I'm sorry to hear you experience such things at your bookstore, but maybe you'd be surprised to hear that not all manga fans act like that. -__- Most people I meet in the store treat the mangas nicely and buy something too. I don't mind people standing or sitting in the manga section and read. If they block my view I just say 'excuse me' and they move. People are nice, you know? I think you have a very stereotyped image of otakus reading in stores, sigh. Anyway, we kinda got off topic here, but as far as OneManga.com goes, that site has been part of my life for the past 4 years or so. I'm sad to see it goes. :( |
|
| I don't agree with reading anything in the store either. Most of the people are inconsiderate of what they do because they aren't going to buy so they won't even try handling the books with care. Being honest once I wanted to get a book. It had its cover torn and I didn't want that.So I placed an order at the book store for a brand new one. I know I am a bit fussy but hey I don't want to pay for torn books. I don't buy a lot of manga - I have about 7 volumes in all but the selection is limited over here and well, I don't have money to buy all the stuff I want. That said, I would love to get a huge collection if I had the resources - and I prefer not to buy from bookstores for the reasons mentioned above. |
| This is unbelievable... If I seriously have to pay for every manga I read, I'd be poor and on the streets with Viz manga costing about $10 per volume. And American companies translate so slow. How am I going to keep up with the newest chapters for Vampire Knight and xxxHolic? This is stupid. /rant |
     |
| Reading manga in the store is against all civility. The only reason I can think of to read anything here would be to see if the dialogue is atrocious or something, and you could figure that out within about 10-20 pages. The only time I read anything in a bookstore for a period of more than 10-20 minutes was comparing two very different translations of the Hunchback of Notre Dame to figure out which I liked best. |

They've done this to books they haven't paid for O.O?! I only come across this with manga I check out from my public library. It aggravates me to no end but I deal. As for Onemanga. There goes my Bleach and Vampire Knight fix, and I'll have to finish reading Air Gear some other way. I suppose once I finish buying FMA I can start on Air Gear... |
 |
| Wow! I'm kinda glad that I actually purchase honest to god books. This has absolutely no affect on me. Is it really worth complaining about a bunch of thieves getting shut down? |
Well one thing I've learned from this experience, is that a princess is still a princesss even when she is naked. |
| I saw a comment earlier about a manga version of crunchyroll. Someone should really get on that. I'd pay for a subscription to legitimately read manga online. But yeah, RIP onemanga. I didn't visit you often, but you were a good site. |

iPud said: Gogetters said: iPud said: Sadly i'm done with buying stuff at China yes it maybe cheap but theres a high chance that it's fake...Jiynnx said: I just found out about this. I used to buy all my manga anyway so even if sites are being removed, I'll get back into buying Manga once my holiday is finished. But it'd suck having to wait for the latest chapters of series to be published,with only about 3/4 volumes coming out each year, it'll take years to read the latest ones to date! Doesn't it pain you to buy manga which would cost... uhm around 10$? I know, it is not much - wait, it is actually A LOT. I could have not noticed, in china each volume of manga costs only around 3-5 Yuans. Uh... how much is it... not even half of a pound. Don't tell me you cannot tell whatever Cartier shop is real or not =/ Actually no i can't since have never been to one... 200$+ for a watch? That's insane!! I would take a good 30$ watch that's waterproof/shockproof over one of those things any day... |

Hypeathon said: This idea has been talked about several times already where companies can try establishing a website that functions as a crunchyroll for manga in which they upload some manga legally for free and others with a paid subscription or something. Not that I could get behind on that if I wanted (no credit/debit card) You're twenty years old and you don't have a debit card? |
|
| lol *shrug* i use bleachexile anyway they have more and they release faster. |
  |
| Well this sucks. Now the app on my phone isn't going to work. The manga on my app is derived from onemanga. *sheds a tear* *gets over it* |
| It's sad but I'll get over it, there are better sites. |
| Ah just saw this http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/07/23/one-manga-shut-down-by-manga-publishers/ Don't know if anyone posted it yet. |
|
| God this is horrible. Onemanga had such a simple interface that worked incredibly efficient with no slow down or popups, sound ads, etc.. Fucking hell. I bet this won't end here. Craploads of sites will go down.. |
 |
| Shit, this sucks. I occasionally read manga off there because they had some good series. Most of the other sites for manga I have found are full of ads, and now those will probably get shut down too. =[ |

| Personally, I thought that onemanga was a pile of shit anyway. It was also too userfriendly for a piracy site. I am a little concerned about the possible Niemollerian domino effect that might come from this, especially when the small sales bump occurs, but I'll be fine as long as they don't start going after the scanalators of unlicensed stuff. |
| I don't get what's so sad about this. OM and MangaFox are both shitty sites, no offense. They reduced the quality of most of their manga scans anyways, and MF pesters people with ads and viruses (unless you had adblock, that is) I'm actually pretty happy about this. Square Enix & OpenManga are planning to host scans legally anyways so there will be alternatives. It's not the end of the world, geesh. |
| I found this sad... But can anyone recommend me some good alternatives, I have searched and they are hard to come by. Thespectrum is a good alternative, when you have ad block. |

Onibokusu said: Drunk_Samurai said: iPud said: Fan scanlating and translating series has been always enjoyable for me. I love reading their opinions and sometimes they explain what this and that means in Japanese. I have volume 1 to 3 of Rasetsu no Hana translated by Viz and also have read the version of fan groups who has already translated it, and I have to claim, It is better by fans - maybe it only goes for that group. Anyway, both of you are trollers I would say. Drunken Samurai is regular one and Onibokusu has been trolling lately too. I don't see how using sarcasm a lot is trolling. Things like body language and voice tone don't translate well into text, obviously. Well, I don't think mistaking spelling for grammar is sarcasm anyway. Oh yeah, to iPud: Have you actually read any official releases other than by Viz? I'd have to say, glossaries beat out "lol, look at my wikipedia skillz" by a long shot. You were the one trolling by saying scanlations are bad and only Americans would like them. ladyxzeus said: Not sure if anyone said this already... But this is a good thing.

| This is bad. I buy licensed manga, but it's going to get harder to read unlicensed manga with it being removed left and right. |
| I have absolutely no problem with buying manga, it's just that it's impossible for me to get a decent supply locally, got a Waterstones that stocks more well known titles, but that is it. Gonna have to buy all my favourite series off of Amazon or someplace I guess. Kinda sad though as I know I will never manage to collect all the awesome manga i've read, so will never see it again, not sure how long other sites will last... |

Yeah there are some there that will but judging by the Manga Fox community, I'm highly doubting many of them will have the patience. And good riddance I say :P |

Thieves? You watching/reading anime/manga is piracy itself, so you calling yourself a thief? The only reason why you get anime and manga to read and watch in the first place is because of piracy you faggot. |

| I don't like alot of official translations... 1.)They often blur or change the words or meanings to make it more appropriate... 2.)Only fans that do the scans do the funny little side jokes or extra pages... I LOVE THOSE! 3.)Im not paying $320 for a long series that I might not even like in the end and im not sitting in borders for 3 hours as a I read a short series... Thats just weird! Also its easier to keep track of new releases through sites... have you seen onemanga? its so easy to find new releases. Though I do like the idea of torrenting somewhat... being able to read my manga on a plane in a car or a train with no internet on a bear... |

| LOL - how many of you are Bawwwwing? XD |
| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| i'll miss it like crazy :( i really don't mind paying for manga, but waiting 3, 4 or even 5 months just to get another 5 chapters is insane. plus, i don't know about the rest of you, but they don't have any of the "lesser known" mangas anywhere around here. things like naruto and ohshc yeah, but that's about it. no dengeki daisy or b.o.d.y. or anything like that. so that's why i'll miss onemanga.com. if they're worried about having free manga websites like this around and not making a profit, then i say they need to figure out a way to make it easier for us to get the manga... whether it be a site to pay to subscribe to every month or having a downloading fee from a website or something. i don't know, but i'll miss it. |
