| Never really used one manga, so it's no big news to me. In fact, I actually welcome this news. It signals that there are plans to create a legit system. And as always. "If you can't illegally find what you are looking for on the internet, you don't deserve it in the first place." One Manga dieing is not the end of 'streaming' manga by a long shot. |
| Onemanga was my alternative site. Aww. Mangafox, don't go like what onemanga did... |
| "If you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up big and strong!" |
| Hopefully this signals the beginning of some real action to make a legal 'streaming' site for manga. |
| Well, there's hope. http://blog.openmanga.org/ |
| thats not completely true what they said was even though the mangas posted on OneManga were done with license that becuase they were going to be respetful to they decide to remove all the content of the page and that were going to leave just the forum so people can talk. |

| I prefer my manga in paperback. This could be a silver lining in what I think isn't that dark a cloud. There's numerous scanlation sites that are going to cracked down on in the near future, and I would rather hope that my Barnes & Noble get my manga in than to read half way through something only to get roadblocked by the feds. Scanlations for me; the reward is not worth the risk. Supporting the liscensed companies that produce the manga legally encourages movement to make publishers more eager to release it. I don't blame them for busting sites like onemanga, because they're trying legally to protect their product. For instance, I hate TokyoPop, but if they own the rights to one of my favorite series, I'll buy it to let them know what I wanted. Streaming and scanlating without consent of the proper authorities is a crime and I endorse this, even if it comes with a price. (It'll be at least two years before I get volume 9 of Princess Resurrection from DEL REY here in the U.S.) Stay strong. |

OneManga said: "There is an end to everything, to good things as well." It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it. We have decided to abide by their wishes, and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site. The removal of content will happen gradually (so you can at least finish some of the outstanding reading you have), but we expect all content to be gone by early next week (RIP OM July 2010). So what next? We're not really sure at this point, but we have some ideas we would like to try out. Until then, the One Manga forums will remain active and we encourage all of you to continue using them. OMF has developed into a great community and it would be a shame to see that disappear. You can also show us some love in this moment of sadness by 'liking' our brand new Facebook page. It would be nice to see just how many of you came to enjoy our 'better than peanut butter and jelly' invention. Regardless of whether you stay with us or not, on behalf of the One Manga team, I would like to thank you all for your unwavering support over the years. Through the ups and downs you have stuck with us, and that is what kept us going. As a certain Porky was fond of saying... That's all folks! Time for me to go lay down and let this all sink in. - Zabi It peeves me that they make it sound as if the industry is going on an all out crusade on scanlations, when that's not the case (at least not yet). At this point it's only against the large "for-profit" websites. I still don't believe that they make any considerable amount of money, though. |
| Well, ppl will start dling manga, that's all, such a shame my last manga reading website drops out too :/ |

(It'll be at least two years before I get volume 9 of Princess Resurrection from DEL REY here in the U.S.) Stay strong. Well, for my I can't afford to pay the highly marked up prices. When some Manga comes in at TWENTY dollars a pop....I will not support them. I could buy two novels, and a pop to drink on the bus for the same price. This is my way of 'supporting them'. Letting them know that I refuse to pay two hundred fifty to a thousand dollars for a single series. I will give the American Industry the benefit of the doubt though. It's probably not their fault it costs so much. But at the same time, there has never once been an experiment with cheaper manga to test the waters. Countless online petitions have stated they would purchase American manga at cheaper costs even if it meant a reduction in quality. |
| well gotta get back to irc and downloading via scanlator sites then or smth.. |
 |
| I was so mad when I heard about this. >:( I felt like I died and didn't do all I wanted to do in my life XD There are still other manga sites, but a lot give viruses and some are going in the same direction T__T |
     |
| The only thing I use OneManga for is to read my daily chapters of Mirai Nikki. Actually, I do believe that MOST free manga sites will plan to go down sometime later this year or next year. Don't call me a person that thanks OneManga for going down, but it's all copyright stuff and some publishers/companies that licensed this manga series that forces OneManga to go down the drain easily. Some publishers don't like it when this series is translated and released by a fan. Well, that explains my possible contradictory explanation, now I want my refund. |

| fuck this has to be the worst news ever |

| I was expecting this kind of thing to happen sooner with OM when they had to check over their mature series and create 1KM. Am sad that OM is gonna be gone, but hey, there's always an alternative. Though quite a few of my Alts have already been hit. |
| Tipical capitalist move, use them to profit and then close them.. scanlation made manga popular and its only because of them that we have manga books in our stores. |

| tottaly serious. manga is worldwide business because scanlators exist. ten years ago it was impossible to buy manga |
Mari-chi said: oh noes its the end of the world... manga fox please. Am I the only one who got viruses from Mangafox? >_> |
|
| I don't get any viruses from Mangafox. Its sad, but we have mangafox and 1000manga :D |
  |
| I'm quite sad...I'm just upset at how they could get rid of all titles and not just the ones that are licensed... |
Nacchi said: Am I the only one who got viruses from Mangafox? >_> Probably not, but I've used the site extensively for quite a while with no issues. |
        |
| This is old news though ._. still sad |

Doomsday_Yomi said: this sucks Agreed |
 |
| It's sad to see OM go, but at the same time they weren't really that great for some manga and didn't really have a wide variety. I'm just glad I finished reading Tsubasa before this surfaced. I have to agree, that, if it wasn't for scanlators (who I thank for their work), I'd probably have to improve my Japanese (hayaku!!!) or wait for only popular-to-the-masses manga to be translated. Where I live it's only Bleach, Naruto and other popular titles. |

| Old news, wasn't this already out two days ago? |

| Some stuff are getting removed from Mangafox... doesn't seem like they'll last long... |
| This sucks. Been using OM since i remembered. No other sites for me now. |
SantaBla said: Fanboys like you should know their place. There is a golden rule for all anime/manga fans out there. Don't be a douche. Not only you guys are off topic, you are trying to incite a flame war. Grow up. Hey man, I'm just giving asses of fire a good recommendation. Naruto will just leave him in disappointment; One Piece wont. |
     |
| Grrrrrr... stupid, greedy publishers >:( |
Yup said: OneManga is as useful as Mininova now. Same thought. Man... I hate them, damn you OneManga, I'm really hurt. |
 |
| Really the only good thing that I can think of about Onemanga was that it had tons of manga. But honestly I prefer Quality over Quantity. |

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 One manga a good site? They basically took Viz(And other's ect...) books scanned them online and made profits off of it. They never even bothered to update their terrible quality. They deserve to be shut down. |
