Onemanga is shutting down.

[DarkestWarlock]

As topic says onemanga is shutting down. My english is not too well so i can't understand exactly why its shutting down. Can someone explain it with a simple way.

[sad_death]

Onemanga is closing down because they were asked to remove so many manga that they would end up like mangatoshokan or even worse. Instead of let that happen they prefer to shut down and try to do something else (or so they say)
Atleast thats what i think happened.
Anyway. We can still check scanlation grps and find our manga so it wont be as hard as they think
(By the way, my english are not so good either so excuse any mistakes)

I don't know but will this shutdown make a dangerous precedent though, smth like a domino effect? Today is OneManga, maybe tomorrow will be Mangafox. I hate thinking about it

[sad_death]

Well its possible that in the near future mangafox will have to either remove almost all the manga like mangatoshokan did or shut down like onemanga did.
Ofc there are also some other less popular sites that will remain after the big ones close but while they get bigger they will be getting more and more presure to remove manga from their directory or shut down and at the same time smaller sites will open and here we go again we have a non-ending circle

this just means its back to good ol' CTCP and XDCC IRC days.

Hmmm...I don´t care either way.
I mean I never really understood the good points of online readers 
Downloadibng a chap is way faster than those well galleries...thats what they are...galleries.
Not to mention the quality they display, they literally raped some series by reducing the file size to the max

True they maight reduce the fuke suce and drop the quality but through those site you can see new manga that you havent see before and so on.

Personaly i dont have that much time to search through each and every scanlation grp to find a new interesting manga or find the updates of those that i follow so its useful atleast for me...

for this aspect, I recommend mangatraders, you can use rss-feeds for every manga, so you get notifications as soon as a new chap is uploaded (which won't take more than a few minutes after the scanlation group released) and they show you similar mangas to the one you're reading and you get two manga summeries every week to see if you like them.
i truly like the page, it has loooots of mangas, the servers are ok and you have some good features like rss-feeds aso.

I also don't like reading manga online, cause the quality is worse and it needs more time to switch the pages (if you have a low internet connection like me...).

AND, it happens that I read a manga very often, so it's more convenient to have the manga downloaded.

online manga readers are good when you are reading manga at work \o/

But the reason onemanga is closing is the same reason mangahelpers is dying: the manga industry (magazines/publishers/even some authors, they say) made a joint effort to work against "manga piracy in the internet" or something like that, at first they "chose 10 big websites that infringe blablabla" and sent warnings that if they didn't remove all manga they would enforce it through legal actions.

And just by that the sites are falling like flies... I personally believe that it would be harder if the piratebay hadn't been shut down a while ago (they are back, but anyway...).

[sad_death]

Hmmm... It looks like mangafox either have problems or its closed.

[sirromandragon]

I'm starting some kind of conspiracy theory connecting the dots between the OpenManga project and the sudden change with the "manga industry" lol

What do you guys think?
