>Mangadex has been wanting to go corpo for years, as leaked devs chat years ago suggest.>They begin purging their catalog, rumors are they will finally betray their userbase and go legit.>Batoto was retarded enough to host manhwas and got threatened into shutting down.>Groups used both websites to host their manga, no backup anywhere else>Madokami rarely updates.What is the alternative?
>>286175245Back up your favorites now folks.
buy it you leech. imagine complaining about what you got for free
>>286175245>What is the alternative?Learning Japanese.
>>286175288
Aren't there some big torrent scrapes of mangadex?
>>286175245>What is the alternative?Wait for someone who actually knows SysSec.
>>286175318im tired of this faggot spamming these threads. at this point i'll bootlick if they get banned. everyone knows people pirate but when you start acting entitled and whine about it people are going to get annoyed
What about weebdex?
>>286175562Might survive since they just banned manhwa. But ultimately it will get fucked like every hub
>>286175562Too early to tell. It'll take a while to know if they'll survive for the long haul.
>>286175318You are powerless before the might of corporate interests and monetization. Deal with it.
>>286175245the writing was on the wall a while ago. wtf were you doing in cuckdex in 2026?
>>286175288its free because the work of artists have no value, they owe me for choosing not to contribute to the future of mankind
>>286175288The market supplies it to me at zero cost. This therefore means that the market has determined that that is the appropriate cost for it.You're not questioning market economics are you? You filthy fucking commie.
Any idea how to export my reading list from them?
>>286175245Hoard everything that's been released that you want, and get in the dickswords in the credit pages of all the manga you want to keep reading.You can also learn moon and use the pirate nip sites for downloading raws.
>>286175921What does that have to do with these white knighting attempts?
If only the new sites kept their import functions consistent. I don't want to track my manga updates, mal and anilist
>>286176175>the pirate nip sitesWhich are...? (I'm asking cause I'm trying to learn nihongo by reading manga, but I struggle at finding raws)
>>286176248literally just google "(series name in japanese) zip"
>>286175245>rumors are they will finally betray their userbase and go legit.Ever hear of phrase "no such thing as honor among thieves"It legit irritates me I share this board with such retards
>>286176491Sharing manga is not theft, absolute retard.
>>286175364How does one even make a rip of an entire site? I'm not tech literate.
>>286176525write a script that clicks on every link recursively and make it automatically download all images it finds. It's trivially easy to make sure it ignores already clicked links and already downloaded images
I buy themLatest Harta mags are not scanned and they only cost like $6 plus you get points on some sites so it's crazy cheap for the value and I buy the physical volumes when they're available.
>>286176525Plenty of different methods, like wgetBut for manga specifically you want to use a specialized tool, like gallery-dl
>>286175245I am not against piracy at all, but who gives a shit if one aggregator goes down? Go to another.>but muh trannylatorsEither do it yourself or let someone else run it through Google lens for you.This topic literally doesn't not deserve endless threads, fuck off.
oh no, my pirate website is down, it's all gone for good, just like the last time my pirate website went down, and the time before that, and the time before that, and the time before that
>>286176564>write a script that clicks on every link recursivelyDo webshitters really?
>>2861766032 more weeks until the hydra grows another head, trust.
>>286176647It already has so many heads it's astounding people don't notice themIs googling "read x manga online free" so difficult?
>>286176365>>286176756You get only the most low quality scummy websites like that, do you have no standards at all?
>>286176603>every instance gets shittier
>>286175245why don't you tards just torrent your manga?
>>286175562It's mangadex, but with even less English chapters.
A bunch of shit only gets official translations picked up because they have a fanbase from piracy are we just only going to get safe picks?How are you even going to build hype anywhere if no one can read anything
>>286176603kek
>>286176603It gets shittier each time, more people quit translating, shit gets lost, and now we for some reason also have retards mass reporting shit on behalf of companies for free.Don't forget now companies are actually putting in effort and hiring people to get everything shut down
Is there a list of manga lost yet?
Because the point is to weaken japanese cultural influence, it's a threat to """western""" media companies
is it really betraying when they said they wanted to go legit years ago?
>>286177084Western media companies destroyed themselves. Manga/Manwha just filled the gap that was left behind
>>286176756a lot of those sites have incomplete or outdated translations of niche manga, if a relatively up-to-date site goes down then you'll have to make do with the shitty onesgundam thunderbolt's manga is a great example of this, in my experience over the past few years. i gave up on the advance of zeta manga for that reason too
>>286176975>How are you even going to build hype anywhere if no one can read anythingThat's what the mass-produced hype moments and aura farming are for. The nu-fans squeal about it on Xitter
>>286176589>This topic literally doesn't not deserve endless threads, fuck off.>Potential loss of the main hub of manga where quite a lot of groups only post at doesn't deserve threadsI'd rather this be here over one of the million gener- ahem, I mean storytimes flooding the board.
>>286177146yes, that's why they're a threat, they've systematically destroyed the western comic scene
They seem really desperate
>>286176834japanese raws are shit quality, it's the sad truththey don't care about digital releases
i tried translating raws with google lens from my phone to my pc screen and it was a dogshit experiencei might actually have to learn japanese
>>286176756those aggregators add watermarks and compress the images to shit to save space and bandwidthmangadex got popular over its competitors because they keep the original image qualityeven Weeb Central, one of the better ones, compresses everything to x1600
>>286177215Man it isn't even that fun to talk about manga or anime anywhere on the Internet now.You have new braindead fans who don't even care about the medium only that it is popular, you have people that cry about sex 24/7, you have people who will accuse you of being a pedophile, you have the people who only post porn, you have the people who spam loli/shota because they think this will still somehow gatekeep but instead just derails conversations, you have people who make everything into politics.I just want to talk about things, shit post, and have like 5-10% being horny posting. I miss when everyone wasn't outraged and people actually cared.
>>286176834I see that you are new.
>>286177332Yeah, I can see that.I read a few manwha but the ones I follow are heavy on the heroic narrative, but most manhwa and all manhua is pretty soulless so I can see it.
>>286177426I don't talk manga outside of /a/ but is it really that bad out there?
>>286176834What standards? It's fucking Mangadex you're crying about
>>286177426It's not just manga or anime, the whole internet is like that no matter the topic, normalfags ruin everything.Although in defense of lolifags, spaces that tolerate them signal to me that it's a place not subverted by the current internet "culture" so it automatically gains points for me.>>286177451>having standards is being newFuck off.
>>286177360Why is it so hard for them not to compress shit? The entirety of the officially licensed English rips on Nyaa is probably less than 10TB, Madokami is slightly over 20TB. I don't see how aggregators could go above 70-100TB even with no compression at allIt's jack shit compared to anime streaming websites that easily host probably hundreds of terabytes of video at the very least
>>286177548It was never good out there to begin with.
>>286177579My problem with lolifags is that they are just annoying as fuck and weird.I read stuff with loli and shota and it either goes you are called a pedophile or you are surrounded by weirdos who just want only talk about sex and porn instead of having a discussion
Remember, these threads are populated by paid industry shills, bots trained on them and the occasional useful idiot schizo doomposting to demoralize you. There is little to be gained but annoyance by doomscrolling in threads like these. If you're concerned, save things you think might be at risk and organize somewhere consisting only of people you trust rather than wasting time shouting into the void here. I still haven't even heard any credible evidence that anything happened beyond a few random glorified H-doujins getting deleted by a rogue admin who may well have been taken behind the shed right afterwards.
>>286177667>you are called a pedophile or you are surrounded by weirdos who just want only talk about sex and porn instead of having a discussionBecause it's considered an extremely taboo subject in current normalfag internet "culture", you are considered literally Hitler for liking anything remotely loli or loli-adjacent (like cgdct), so the other side gets polarized to the extreme as a reaction.All I'm saying is that the lolifags side of this war is indisputably the anti-normalfag side, so I'll stand with them out of principle even if they act like weirdos (aren't we all in one way or the other?).
>>286175288>buy it you leechThe manga is free bro, I read hundreds of series in Japanese and they are all free as long you are fine with reading less than 10 or so chapters a day per website and aren't going in a woods for more than two weeks.The issue is with lack of centralization and japanese interface, so you have to bookmark each manga and check on them manually. meanwhile with these sites I put links to 10 sites into my manga app and get notifications when new chapter release.As huge man once said, piracy is a service problem.
>>286176161Use a script that uses the mangadex api to generate a csv file of your followed titles then ask any LLM to convert that into a MAL xml file
>>286177667>surrounded by weirdosIt's like you don't fucking know where you are or how this fucking place used to cater. Holy newshits don't even know about cornfapper.
>>286176161I remember during the first massive purge some people made scripts on reddit and the forum
>>286176161See: >>286113553
>>286177969I'm aware of how shit used to be and I also remember people being more active and didn't stay in there little general thread too.I simply think shit is so lopsided to extremes so you don't get a mix of things now everywhere. I want a balance I don't only want weirdos and degenerates
>>286177921>then ask any LLM to convert that into a MAL xml filelmao at the absolute state
>>286178023It worked and I've never coded a single day in my life.
>>286175245now extend this to online streaming services and draw a logical conclusionthere's a reason /a/ says (or at least used to say) DOWNLOAD FUCKING EVERYTHING
>>286177799>All I'm saying is that the lolifags side of this war is indisputably the anti-normalfag side, so I'll stand with them out of principle even if they act like weirdos (aren't we all in one way or the other?).My main issue is that if gatekeeping also just results in drowning out normal discussions then no one really won. God I want normalfags to die or stay in their part of the web. People fucking freaking about shonen girls and harems being called pedoshit is annoying. I don't even think waifu wars could exist as they did in the past
I'm using ichigo extension and read from raw site.
>>286177608storage isn't the issueegress bandwidth isshit gets actually expensive pretty fast when you start talking volumeand most people using these sites should in theory be smart enough to use adblockers so the site has lower revenue to work with by default
>>286176834While not all of them, a lot of people who've learned japanese have a severe form of brainrot. As long as it had a sign written in Japanese above it, they would eat feces and pretend it's great
>>286175245>Madokami rarely updates.It updates in a few hours from torrents being posted
>>286175311>learn moon>nip services are genuinely dogshit This includes if you want to be a paying customer. It's impressive how legitimately awful they are.
>>286177548/a/ is one of the tamest places on the internet in this day and age. The shit "normalfags" get up to on twitter and the like is unholy
>>286175245>go corpoIt's always been fishy how much marketing and actual shilling they make to try to stay relevant. "We are the site with no ads-now with ads!" Here's a new one.>this is extremely important guise what if /our/ hub is taken down and one group there is-gasp-too lazy to move to the new hub-think of that one group! :'(How do you even come up with that? The doomposting/shilling is desperate.
>>286178184It would only be expensive if they're hosting everything themselves through something like a storage bucket and then paying to distribute it over CDN, no? In that case why not rely on third party hosts the same way streaming websites do? If it's good enough for video playback, loading images shouldn't be an issue. Unless it's the library of manga being larger compared to anime that makes it harder to manage and replace dead links?
>>286178462Is getting in madokami in the space of possibilities in 2026?
We need the Russians back in the scene
>>286178769Yes. Can take 5 minutes or up to several weeks depending on your luck https://wotaku.wiki/guides/manga/madokami
>>286176841>>286177072>ITT young 20-somethings whine and cry about getting source-quality images on sites that instantly preload every image in the chapterYou have no idea how bad it used to be, and your dedication to the art is weak. You've gotten comfortable and throw a tantrum at the first sign of inconvenience.
>>286178675>We are the site with no ads-now with adsinvestor money ran out, please understand
>>286178155>PAYING for AI translations
>>286175245I just keep a centralized list of what I follow. If the dex falls, then a replacement will pop up.
Does this affect me if I'm on AB?
>>286175245>Batoto was retarded enough to host manhwas and got threatened into shutting downIt was the japanese anti-piracy commission the ones behind the shit down, tho.
>>286175288I only buy manga I have read. I consider my money a reward for being entertained, not a gamble on manga that may be shit.
>>286178893>retard babbling
>>286177667I kinda see what you mean, in the sense that most threads of loli manga in /a/ are usually just lewdposting, rather than any actual discussion.
>>286179037but they're right. I'm tired of newfags bitching about their pirate sites at the slightest inconvience. I'm tired of the new mentality of if it's not X im not buying. I want the old scanlations back where it was one team blog posts. several series had several different translations to follow. you read it off the blog and bought the raw if you liked it enough. one day you logged on to your site and it way gone, oh well, you used your search engine to look up xx chapter 64. oh look a new one right where you left off. now it's all entitled whiners all the way down. "muh centralized" "muh quality"
>>286177148Just learn japanese, I mean, if you really care about those titles that much.
>>286179147Botato had direct downloads for all manga. #lurk existed. There were plenty of other ways. Now you need to go on some reader-only faggot site full or Trashwhas or secret discord.Why do you newfags even pretend to be le oldfags?
>>286179263>Botato..or whatever it was. Right, mangatraders. Batoto only tried to replace it, and it was pretty bad at it.
>>286179263did you even read my post or are you just babbling?
>>286179303I read only the first sentence, as it's convention on this webshite.
There's an endless pit of slav manga sites. Much easier for machine tl, if such need ever arises
>>286176899it's the opposite lol
>>286179768NTA. That's not entirely the case. I don't know when or how they started scrapping MD, but there's a lot of series that only have the chapters that weren't deleted in the purge.
>>286178003Good, it's extracted, now I just have to find somewhere that accepts the list.
>>286179807If we’re talking about manga then if it's on mangadex, it's also on weebdex, even banned groupsmangadex banned some groups and nuked their chapters, and half of the chapters that were purged last year have already been recovered, as you can see here: https://weebdex.org/user/cbta0q393e/uploadsmangadex actually has fewer english chapters than weebdex now.
>>286178832>it's a gacha kind of thingSo it's just a matter of patience. Since when it's like this?
>>286178684_someone_ ends up paying for it whether it's first-party or third-party
>>286180043Several years I'm pretty sure
>>286175921That's how america lost its soft power to china-korea-japan
>>286179147While I get your point, you just want inconvenience for the sake of inconvenience. There's a reason why nobody does what you describe anymore.
Is it true that zoomers are afraid of piracy?
You had a decade to learn japanese. And instead you waste your time bitching here.
>>286175245It fell when it got rid of Index as a mascot
Why must everyone doompost? Something will always fill the void.
>>286177346One more fortnight until AI is able to do perfect translations, anon.
>>286175288>buyno fuck your woke shit localization.
>>286180782I'm getting on in years and I'd say piracy peaked sometime in the last decade and is now getting a little worse ever so slightly I concur that piracy will never truly die but the trend I'm seeing is worrisome.
Do we migrate to weebdex or comix?
>>286180782because they're retardsyou have to realize that many zoomers barely know how to find stuff online or how to use the computer in general. If it's not a heckin' app, they get confused.
>>286175245>I Will Never Pay, Juden<.
>>286180840>won't buy localization because "muh woke">wont buy japanese because "not in english"
>>286181255Deal with it!
>>286175288manga should always be free and live out of ads
How soon will they go bankrupt when they "go legit" and none of their userbase wants to pay through the nose for whatever shit official translations they wrangle?
>>286175245>What is the alternative?Deep web
>>286176756Do you like testing out your antivirus that much?
>>286176603The gooks will make sure there won't be any more at some point
nice try, shueisha
>>286175245I refuse to tell you, corpo.
>>286175245why am I not surprised they are trying to pull crunchyroll lmao
Has anyone been getting "Too many requests" on MangaUpdates recently? I think I was able to access it last night but I got this message once before that too.
>>286181344they'll copy shueisha's app model of business
>>286178893Fucking moron. MangaTraders was the peak and nothing after came close to it. Things are only getting worse with MK skeleton being the most reliable option nowadays.
are there even any good legal alternatives that can compete with the service of free sites?I basically stopped pirating vidya because literally everything is available on steam but anime/manga is almost never all available in one place
>>286181255Provide a good service or never see my money, it's that simple.
>>286181344They will just sell the fan translated manga, of which they have huge archive.
>>286175288I import the japanese volumes of anything I like. I'm not going to give money to some localization company for the privilege of getting an inferior print months later with a horrible translation.
>>286175260I’m just saving my favorites by now
>>286175288i cannot buy it unless i want to pay multiple times its cost per volume in shipping fees, middleman fees and trump taxes
>>286180782It's never a 100% replacement. Things do slip between the cracks.
>>286178612Teaching is a stressful job, not surprised that she hit the wall from poor sleep and stress eating.
>>286178996those nips don't have fangs of their own, so they manipulated kakao and those other gook companies. Without manhwas they can't do shit.
>>286181255>won't use AI because "muh pajeet"
>>286177548Not manga, but you should see what zoomers did to subahibi.
how the fuck is manga even profitableI have a shelf full from a time when I cared about physical crap but now I just can't imagine spending $15+ a pop for a manga that i'll read back to front in like 15 minutes and takes a decade plus to get the full series plus censored translation
>>286175245>What is the alternative?decentralize everything and bring back RSS feeds
>>286182651Because it's way less than $15 a volume in most countries.
>>286175311Wow woooooow, learning japanese sure helped me materialize manga that's 40 years out of date out of my mind and into the physical realm, that sure helped. Its not like the point of manga sites isn't to organize all this ancient out of print shit into one place where it isn't actually lost forever, where you can find 70 year old manga, which Mangadex unilaterially deleted a few months ago because "Well we didn't like it being up there"I'm sure the ability to read japanese will grant people the ability to materialize ancient long lost out of print manga which used to be archived on sites like this and retards never backed up because too many people just assumed manga sites were forever.Its retards like this that always think "manga sites" are just "Naruto, bleach, one piece". They can't imagine that there's something that "learning japanese" won't instantly solve, because "if you learn japanese you can still read your one piece in a manga catalogue after you get Shounen Jump sent to your house" which is the deluded boomer take of manga takes. Wow one piece, that's basically every manga to ever exist, idiot.No it isn't about One Piece, its about a shit ton of manga that only existed on a few manga sites that no one backed up because people got way too comfortable. One Shot stories that do not exist anymore because the site they were originally hosted on do not exist anymore, and the stories are 40 years out of print, they literally don't exist anymore.
>>286182762>in japan they cost around 500-650 yen each welp no wonder then
>>286182812Mad EOP. I don't know how you believe learning Japanese means you can only read popular shit. Those old manga you're thinking of are often available more easily in Japanese than in English. Maybe not on the average pirating site, and while I think saying "lol just buy it" is pretty retarded to say in a discussion about piracy, paying a few dollars will pretty easily get you a lot of niche shit that nobody ever bothered translating and never will.
I'll willingly pay for a steam version for manga. The ones we have suck ass and I heard the japs do it worse with the chapter splitting
>>286180646Not him, but it's not about forced inconvenience, it's that 99% of these fucks are simply entitled cunts that never contribute to the industry or the hobby in anyway, only consume. Yes, the market is not losing value over piracy, these fags aren't generating any value either. Complete and utter waste of space and air just there to shit up the discussion environment.Back in the day, the ratio of real fans who put efforts into spreading the hobby and adapt, which takes money and usually they do support the industry in the process, is much higher, and leeches knew their place. Now the dam is broken and it's flooded with would-be-normalfags complaining all the fucking time.
>>286182812as someone who exclusively reads pre2000s unTL'd manga you're full of shit. i can get new first editions of even popular artists for like 4k yen for a set of 8-20 volumes (depends on how popular). non first editions for even less.you can even buy manga from the 20s-40s for less than 2k yen. This argument is always so fucking stupid because you're wanting a niche product that not many people are into. oh and i also buy my manga to read. learn to judge works better. you've only have 30+ years to get a decent amount of reviews on where or not it might be something you're interested in. I think if you cut the fucking entitlement people might share some of their collections but instead you reek of narcissism and entitlement
>>286183321Every time I try to talk about the older days of scanalation this is exactly what I'm talking about but it seems only leeches are left and dominate. they say shit like artists don't deserve money then these same fucks complain when series get axed. I actually think some of those scan groups that only give out the TL when you show them you purchased a copy for latter chapters actually have the right idea to combat this despite how annoyingly backwards it seems. If you enjoy a work to read 3+ volumes of then you should probably just buy one even if it's a fucking cheap ebook edition you'll never read. Everyone pirates, but we sure knew to shut our mouths and contribute in some type of way. I myself worked as a cleaner and proofer for several sites, later i helped TL somethings here on /a/ when my nip got good. Now all these people do is complain and complain and as you said, do nothing but consume.
>>286182292Kakao is literally the biggest investor in one of those "Japanese companies" - so now you know why they suddenly got teeth.
>>286180782The internet is not the wild west anymore, is the difference. 15 years ago companies were run by geriatrics that thought the internet was just the front page of Yahoo news and Facebook. Today you have digital natives running legal services at many companies who know about pirate sites as soon as the average /a/non does.
>>286181582That site is always giving that error.Their server must be a single Lenovo Thinkpad from the Obama Admin.
>>286183614Those damn Goreans.
guys what sites do you use to get raw manga?its fine if they're just downloads
>>286184592amazon, renta, and bookwalker
Life is hell. I will await for the enshitifcation to reach critical levels at which point i will kill myself or have no choice but do a political radicalism
>>286184592Rapidgator
>>286178985How fast do new chapters appear on AB? Last I checked, it took years for anything but the most popular series.
>>286184592https://everythingmoe.com/
>>286175629Idk they've survived fakku nukes multiple times, jacob is more autist about site pirating his shit than gooksThere's also weebcentral (previously mangasee) which hosts ripped official vol and webtoon but has survived for more than a decade
>>286184677I hate it so much
>>286184691At least longer than it takes for them to be on Nyaa since they take them from there anyway
I read all manga on third world obfuscated hosting sites like novelcool.
>>286184722How can you hate something with such a radical name?
so what are the alternatives if the site is going down?
Man like seriously what the fuck is going on? Why are they so vehemently against us? It feels like straight up persecution and it doesn't stop with this agenda of theirs.Just what the fuck is their endgame?
>>286183356are you seriously trying to argue that is easy to get 40+ year old manga that is out of print in english, or any other language that is not japanese? why make such a blatant lie? what's even the point of pretending any of this fucking gargantuan effort is not extremely annoying and ultimately stupid? why why why so much dishonesty
>>286185073>Not JapaneseSounds like learning Japanese is the solution after all. EOPcucks exposed for being retardedly entitled yet again
>>286184788I'm actually in awe of how both rapidgator and mediafire are still a thing. It's been like a decade and a half since I first discovered them as a kid.
>>286185073>reading comprehension
>>286175562there's missing chapters4 or 5 manga I was gonna read start of at chapter 20 or 50, one series had the first 30 and then skipped to ch80really hope it gets better though
>>286175288Most "official" TL companies are putrid shit
>>286185073thanks for making me laugh retard
>>286175245Every time a manga gets an official translation license, I lost every single drop of interest I had in it. Even if I loved it a lot.That's because I really had some seriously bad experience with them. 90% of them have bad translations; the release speed is ass; they have an extremely bad predatory system to unlock new chapters/pages and/or isn't available in my country for fuck reason, so no way to get it officially except buying their awful tankobons.And them being so damn greedy doesn't help at all heard that a lot of them don't help the author economically because all of the money are kept to them and the original japanese editor.Thanks to that I feel such a big displeasure every time it's announced that a certain manga is being licensed or that I feel so disgusted when I accidentaly enter into mangaplus.
>>286185451>90% of them have bad translations7 seas has decent TLs at least, D-Frag's is alright, so was Haganai, but I guess it's a bit different since it's full volumes at once, not paywall pay per chapter shit
>Hurr durr, I'm crying because my favourite pirate page is getting deleted!>Oh I found this new kinda hidden page that has them! Better share it with everybody as publicly possible as I can in every anonymous pages where greedy corpos are totally watching so I can get thumbs up and (you)s!>A month later>Hurr durr, I'm crying because my favourite pirate page is getting deleted too! Damn bastards!I hate this kind of stupids idiots. If you find something, keep it to yourself
>>286185545Except most of those websites profit off ads, even if they wanna pretend to be like robin hood, they at least need money to cover their maintenance expensesAlso without traffic it's likely scanlators and fellow piraters won't be that interested in posting their stuff there, one of the biggest advantages of piracy is centralized access to content, no need to keep 5+ websites bookmarked for different mangaSo every incentive is there to attract more traffic, it's an inevitable cycle
>>286185545you do realize that the quality sites are quality because they produce content and don't just nab it from somewhere elseif the site is visited by a grand total of 15 tards you're not gonna have any new content and are just waiting for chewed-up slopa fantl site has to be big to get groups and people that translate to want to work and upload to it
>can't login into my Madokami account anymoreWhat the fuck happened?
>>286185545Every time you see people saying they need to find a way to export their lists too. There's a bunch of sites specifically for keeping track of what you're reading that don't host pirated content but they keep just using the pirate sites despite the frequency of them going down.
>>286185832works on my machine
>>286185832Clear your cache and cookies.
>>286185860we need to go back to bakaupdates
>>286185860>keeping track of what you're readingdo people really do that? i just keep an eye out for whatever comes out daily, if it's familiar or new but looks interesting i will just open it and readif i don't remember it then it was just fast food not worth looking up again
>>286180890The only big worry is that the Internet dies as a whole which Governments really really REALLY want to do by assigning Internet IDs. But for now we have the nice alternative of AI slowly strangling it.>>286180782Even when sadpanda was gonna go down it just spawned more iterations. Mangadex is just the successor to Batoto and that to OneManga.>>286177426Anime discussion has always been shitty no matter where you go. Manga discussions are generally civil however the explosion of Anime into pop culture in the last handful of years has made that take a nosedive. If the Manga is too popular the discussions are shitty but if it's not popular at all then who talks about it.>>286182651JP sucks ass and sells licenses to companies that need to turn a profit. Translation + Printing + License costs.>>286185921Yeah, I don't remember half the stuff on my list. Lots of short series that never got fully translated.
>>286182651Because for the most part, Japan still doesn't really care about foreign markets if you're not one of those shounen jump big boys type.
>>286186091>assigning Internet IDsThe only way to make that work would be at the ISP level and it would be such a blow on their profits that corpos would never go for it.
>>286186227what do you think ips/mac addresses/etc are.
>>286186268something that can currently be bypassed and 99.9% of the world doesn't care
>>286182004Buy digital.
>>286186227What they are trying to accomplish is requiring any service on the internet to require an ID. Such that you wouldn't be able to view threads here on 4chan, until you register your ID. These things are also championed by groups funded by big tech companies because it would grant them even more data collection, and compliance would be an increased cost on upstart competitors.
>>286186529The closest I can think to that happening is shitcord making bongs link their personal IDs only to get hacked and leak all of it. And that was a single site for a single country. There's no feasible way they'd make it work outside the top 50 or so websites and even those are iffy with their reliance on bots to posture as if they're not dead and shill stuff.
>>286186589>shitcordFunny you should mention that. They're requiring IDs for adult content in less than a month. All users, worldwide.
>>286185451Why don't you learn Japanese and buy the Japanese volumes? Illegal translations are garbage as well and are often slow to release.
>>286186648quite funny but the point still stands
>>286175562Would be nice if I could import my bookmarks from MD to this
>>286186589The intention is to levy fines, sizable amounts or percentages of global company revenue, on websites that don't comply, at least that is the uk model for it. Currently 4chan is fighting against that uk law in court saying they shouldn't have to comply with it just because the website can be accessed by people in the uk. Similar laws to that one are being proposed in various nations, in individual states in the us and as proposals for the eu. Most of the push back these proposed laws are facing are not from corporations, one of the eu proposals was actually written by facebook.
Enshitification of the internet will continue. There is no hope because the ruling class in the West have openly gone full authoritarian and nobody really cares. In our lifetimes, in fact probably within the next decade, you'll either have to face being a totally monitored and controlled piece of livestock or else just leave the internet and use tech as little as possible.
>>286186789Well fuck me then, I had no idea it was this bad. I still doubt it'll work out on either a legislative or enforcement level but it's definitely worrying if corpos really are the ones pushing.
>>286175245>zoomers trying to figure out how the net work threadgo back to tiktok
>>286186825Government, corpos and beaurocrats are all the same people. They work together and support one-another from the ideological level on up.
>>286178612Are you the fag complaining that Japanese manga viewers default to double pages because you can't read them on your 1376x768 monitor?
>>286186868To an extent but there's a lot of infighting when they start to threaten each other's bottom line. At least, that's prevented them from being more organized until now.
>>286181629>MangaTraders was the peakRIP...
>>286179263Which batoto? I don't remember Grumpy's batoto having that feature

>>286188128>everyone moved their stuff to comick>comick gets gooked almost instantly>some scanlators just disappeared after>or the comick chapters don't get reuploaded/scraped elsewhere and now there's a gap between the old and new chapters

>令和８年>まぁぁぁだ日本語が読めないんだアイシッギティー
>>286176525Literally anything is possible with code.
>>286189055Imagine being such a dekinai, you can't even fathom getting the Japanese versions.
>>286175562Bookmarked.
>>286186789>That UK lawReminder that Mangadex is registered in the UK and the owner is NamiComi also registered in the UK and the CEO lives in London so they have to comply with that law which they currently aren't. They've claimed they don't have to because their terms of services which are hidden on the site and assume automatic consent without ever being shown or agreed to by the users (seems shady) say that they're in Delaware so only Delaware law applies. They also use payment processors which say in their terms of services that porn is not allowed which they seem to have realised this and the position it puts them in so are removing porn for that reason however, they're only removing some of it not all of it which is where they'll be caught.
>>286175288I do buy it, I find a series I like on Mangadex, and buy it when it gets an official release. Not my fault US manga licensers are either too retarded to bring it over or put it in paperback format so I can actually buy and read it comfy, book in hand, as God intended. Doubly so if the series that gets taken down happens to only have come over once before, is retardedly rare, and retardedly expensive. Hi, Kindaichi.
>>286175260Pretty much this. Just next time you make a madokami make sure you give uploader rights to people that will let others take over once they "retire".

>>286177426you'd need to take a time machine back to pre crunchyroll. the scene was fantastic though back when there were only fansubs and the people you'd talk to online were actual fans of the medium because it was way harder to get access to it back then.
>>286175245This thread again. Are you from one of the banned groups for pedoshit? Go cry somewhere else.
>>286175288I'm too lazy to learn Japanese and a lot of the series I'm following on Mangadex have not and probably never will get official English translations

>>286175245>Mangadex has been wanting to go corpoareare they fucking retardedyou can't go corpo as a pirated manga hosting website are they genuinely fucking braindead
>>286190486Sites like Fakku or Crunchyroll could but that was over a decade ago when the publishers didn't have much of an online presence.
>>286190486even if it only has a 1% chance of working they will try since it makes them orders of magnitude more money.
>>286190502its impossible to do now cause everyone knows there is money in it.
>>286190502>>286190520god everyone is so fucking stupid nowI hate how stupid everything iswe diverged in 2012 to the stupid fucking reality and it's why all this shit has been happening
>>286190486AnonMangadex is literally a corpo alreadyLegally registered in UK of all places
>>286190486That's why they're pushing OEM content
>>286190672It's two companies registered in the UK, with one of them NamiComi also being registered in the US. Their corporate structure isn't well thought out which isn't surprising given that its only 11 pay-rolled staff with dozens if not hundreds of people working for free as moderators and then even more creating the content the true value of the site, they host. Until August last year Mangadex was ran and owned by Henry Lin but he gave his shares to NamiComi which he also owns and is CEO making Mangadex a subsidiary of NamiComi.
>>286190779shit's fucked
>>286190779How long do we give them before they shut down for good?
Imagine the seething when Mangadex becomes the Crunchyroll of manga, with all the same far reaching effects.Well I still hope they get sued to the ground before they take off.
>>286190536Welcome to reality!
>>286176525Little over two years ago, Square Enix told Accord's Library which hosted bunch of Yoko Taro related stuff to pack their things and take the site down. Thankfully people in charge of the website were kind enough to give a date where they would take down the website but none of the devs (aside from one) wanted to participate in the archival effort as to not get in trouble.There now exists multiple versions of the website, in different formats and subsequently varying degrees of difficulty for users to "run" the website.The easiest way to archive a full website is using WARC (Web ARChive) and WACZ (Web Archive Collection Zipped). It's essentially one massive file which has everything and you can use a program or a website to "run" the website. It's not perfect but it's good enough for most cases.I went with a different method, trying to convert the entire website to something akin to a static website where you could use a web server like nginx or apache to run it locally or host it on the web.We also scraped enough information that, if anyone familiar enough with the structure of the website (which is well documented since it was open source) and motivation to do so, can actually make a one-to-one copy since all the media files, text, stubs, etc. were archived.One of the things which I preserved perfectly (aside from timing metadata, such as when each post or comment was made) is "gallery.accords-library.com" which was a szurubooru (an alternative booru) instance.https://accord.kuroneko.dev/
>>286190811Who knows, one of their mods annoyed me so I've issued off a bunch of complaints to Ofcom and other authorities in the UK for their non-compliance with the Online Safety Act and hosting of child porn. Then also sent off to the payment processors they use complaints about the content Mangadex is hosting going against the payment processors terms of services. This was on Monday and so far nothing has come of it, if anything comes of it, it will be in a few weeks.
>>286190918No, I did it after they decided to start removing it>Loli and shota is wrong and we're banning it but these other children 13-17 is fineNo that's not how the law works, you either ban it all or you ban none of it, no moral grandstanding or hypocrisy please. You're not more ethical because you masturbate to children in high school instead of children in elementary school, they're all children.
>>286190486worked for fakku and crunchyroll...
>>286177426>spam loli/shota because they think this will still somehow gatekeepIt does.
>>286190994>fakkudidn't these losers lose all their fanbase last year after a massive purge of content?
>>286175260What's a good way to back up series, or do you just have to save every image individually?
>>286191249sadly no, jacob made a deal with the devil (daiz) so his empire will be maintained via supernatural means until it's time to collect his soul.

>>286191300I hate Jewcob so much it's unreal.
Just another day showing that data hoarders were always right.
>>286175245There are alternatives, but it's smarter not to share them around with idiots like you and the vermin you've attracted with this thread. That will just start the ball rolling downhill all over again.
>>286191300last time i read they decided to nuke thousands of doujins and people left in droves. imagine if netflix or CR nuked thousands of shows. it doesn't matter if they made a deal to get bucks because there's a limited amount of time you can carry any site at a loss. at the end of any deal with the devil he comes back asking for the soul you promised.
>>286191501What's the point when a simple manga name + read google search will eventually lead them there once the ranking gets updated.>inb4 ded private tracker shite
>>286177845>piracy is a service problemThats why you fags welcomed Denunvo with open arms amirite?
>>286191454yeah no shit. always DL everything into storage you want. that goes for fucking everything. if you can't afford storage go fucking suck some cock so you can get those 20tb HDD into a NAS or even better build your own full tower with 20x 20tb HDDs
>>286190779>dozens if not hundreds of people working for free as moderatorsYoooo lmao
>>286191098nahloli fags are now those retards who post porn non-stop with le funny caption.Is as that anon said, both sides of the discussion spectrum are bad right now.
>>286191538It's worse than that if they actually removed access to content you had paid for. Netflix or CR are just subscriptions. It's possible to have digital content that can no longer be bought for one reason or another but users that purchased it in the past can continue reading it.
>>286181635all fan translations are legal, as they are protected under fair use; the images that accompany the text are important context and therefore protected under fair use as wellonly untranslated cover pages are actually valid dmca targets, as they are not part of the narrative or framingunfortunately, nobody has actually had the resources and balls to challenge these takedowns in court, which would likely take years and cost millions of dollars
>>286190973b-but that's my preferred range anon ToT
>>286191882>all fan translations are legal, as they are protected under fair useThat's very wrong.
>>286191975Scanlations are a grey area aren't they? they aren't outright piracy
>>286191999No.>Authors of literary and artistic works protected by this Convention shall enjoy the exclusive right of making and of authorizing the translation of their works throughout the term of protection of their rights in the original works.
>>286191999No. It's always copyright infringement. People thinking it's not always creates a mess of things when the companies inevitably show up. It's textbook piracy. Any site that hosts scanlations should be well aware and ready to deal with the legaal fallout
>>286175311You forgot:1. Buy it from Japan2. Living in Japan
what about duwang? is duwang fair use under parody?
>2026>anons still don't have their own archive just in caseSome people truly never learn
>>286190536Yup, OWS.
>>286192213The major problem is scrapper sitesOne thing is hosting but another one is making profit of hosting unauthorized copies. Is one of the reasons kissmanga fell>but I use adblockerIt eliminate ads for you but not from the website>but then how i keep the servers aliveyour fucking problemmodern pirate fags do not spend shit unless is gacha or a figurine of a title they do not know but she has big boobs; when big money is needed to keep those scans online.
>>286192213Where does hosting translated scripts fit on the legal spectrum?I can see the typesetting and fonts as being something else
>>286192409omg hi Anon!
>>286192429That should be the same, just like a novel would be. It's probably less likely to be a target though.
>>286192429On the illegal oneIf the translation is not authorized it falls as hurting an intellectual propertyScanlations are not on the gray area, are in the black one.
>>286175245Follow scanlation groups individually, use mangaupdates to keep track. And of course, personally archive manga you care about, especially if there's anything in them that'd make it a target..
>>286192429Based off what I've seen, even with novels and scripts they issue takedowns because they don't get any money from you purchasing the novels
>>286176515Based autismbro.
>>286185545Mangadex isn't exactly being deleted.
>>286186299>be bypassedYou what?
>>286181629>MangaTraders was the peakPeak in incompetence.
>>286192547>Follow scanlation groups individuallyFuck-all groups have actual sites anymore.
>>286175245They hate women mangakas.
>>286192925Fuck if anyone has personal sites anymore.Social media was a goddamn mistake.
>>286192950Why pay to host a website so people can get their entertainment for free?
>>286190846NTA and I wasn't involved with Accord's Library but it's crazy it's been two years already. I've been using a local copy of the WARC archive and my own copies of the re.share files. Didn't know about your booru. That's pretty cool.I still wonder what kicked everything off. Like, many fandoms do the same thing out in the open (e.g., Shinra Archeology Department) so I get the sense they don't go searching for stuff.Also, the staff are definitely aware of fan translations being out there. For instance, in the DoD 3 Complete Guide, page 157, Eishima Jun talks about how she tracked down misinformation in the JP fandom as originating from a bad fan translation in the EN fandom (the false claim that the girls who were executed in the DoD 3 novel were later reincarnated as the Utaite).So, I think that someone must've specifically chosen to go after Accord's Library. Like, perhaps 8-4 (localizer company) or some disgruntled person in the fandom (Rekka and Barnabisms come to mind as people who had previously complained about Accord's Library hosting their fan translations).>>286175364The guy who made weebdex is allegedly going to upload torrents but who knows they're kind of sketchy, see picrelhttps://www.reddit.com/r/mangapiracy/comments/1pjonam/beware_of_weebdex/Imo, we should create a format that makes it possible to share fan translations by themselves without also containing copyrighted content, like how people are able to openly share subtitle files. I think this can be done with image-diffs and stuff without very much effort.
>>286190820I wouldn't mind if it they did it in a non-scummy way. Maybe if they brought some of the non-shit scanalation groups onboard as paid employees and started gathering the English publishing rights to more obscure series that otherwise wouldn't get English translations as well as unofficially translated series that got caught up in the DMCA purge. Basically build up an official English database of more obscure or underappreciated series that fell by the wayside because they didn't cater to the mainstream shonenshit and isekai audienceWho am I kidding, they'll just hire on a bunch of trannies that'll butcher translations and claw for the latest and most popular shonen and isekai series like everyone else
>>286193352Translations by themselves are already a copyright violation.
>>286193352>they're kind of sketchy,I mean, I'd assume it was common sense to never completely trust any stranger on the internet, especially when it comes to piracy. On the other hand, weebdex at least isn't infested with the retards that salivate over Korean comics.
>>286193498no they aren't you hapless cuck
>>286193498I did not know this and assumed they were fine cause of sites like opensubtitles.org. Looking around apparently there's been raids on subtitle hosting sites and stuff.https://falkvinge.net/2013/07/10/fan-subtitle-site-raided-by-copyright-industry-aided-by-police/Also, apparently if Netflix wanted to also include subs for OP songs and stuff then it would need to get additional licenses.Crazy>>286193874I just meant like, who knows if they'll start running ads and shit and whether or not they'll ever actually release torrents. That reddit post I linked is 2 months old and as far as I know there are still no torrents anywhere.
>>286193936Yes they are.
>>286193936The writers are explicitly listed as copyright holders for manga where they are distinct from the artist.
Why does it feels so goddamn wrong to use Mangaplus and their simpub method?I feel dirty every time I enter that site. Feels like it's a damned site.
>>286194054Thankfully I don't have to enter it.
>>286193976>Also, apparently if Netflix wanted to also include subs for OP songs and stuff then it would need to get additional licenses.How nice of Netflix to save some money here to feed it to their upper management as bonuses!Maybe they should just cut the OP, maybe even other not strictly necessary scenes, to save more money!
>>286194125This has been done before newfagkun. Sailor moon, Gundam zz, etc
>>286193976Music licensing in general can get more complicated and expensive with the different people involved with different parts. Even if there's some logic to it, it's still stupid to be able to hear something for one price but seeing the words written costs extra.

>>286192547Those scanlation groups upload to mangadex only. Everything is fucked.

>>286195355Most of my downloads are still pointing to it since I think only like two series out of 35 are uploading somewhere else. The rest are still uploaded to Mangadex or just generally dropped.
>>286196288i'm learning solely for my own satisfaction. just because i can
>>286196288>the only way to use it is on the net.That's how most Japanese use it as well.
Speaking of, I always preferred the fan translations of One Piece but I haven't been able to find any since mangadex put out official ones.
>>286196288>the only way to use it is on the netanon, it's current yeareverything is on the net
>>286194054It's a capitulation. They have to give everything away for free because the slightest limitation would just drive people back to pirate sites. And it's ruining the situation for the competition because the readers expect them to do the same.

There are plenty of raws for older series in readable quality and without watermarks. Do you guys only follow ongoing shit?
The friction for downloading chapters individually is too high compared to streaming images from a centralized website. Manga needs either a P2P file distribution protocol more suitable for the medium than bittorrent, or a streamlined tachiyomi-like app with torrent integration. As it stands, torrents only really work for bulk downloads of multiple volumes.
>>286199401Do you think manga aimed at teens that depict sexual situations or even mentions of them shouldn't exist? Mangadex's announcement doesn't mention loli or anything. It says "minors".
>>286203106The people who bought mangadex put the company in Britain so I imagine they will not allow a lot of shit that would be fine in say America>>286200619The owner of kiwifarms was into neko shota, allowed a text only thread for actual pedophiles on imageboard he ran in the past, and that is where a lot of them cry.
>>286181629yeah but before MT there was basically what we have now were you just google random manga chapters and hope for the best and I also like to argue MD is better than Batoto in its peak, took quite a few years before it started deleting shit.
>>286203734>and I also like to argue MD is better than Batoto in its peak, took quite a few years before it started deleting shit.I agree.Hmm, I don't know how things were before MT, I discovered it immediately after i swapped from reading a couple of popular weekly manga. I remember I was supplementing MT with stoptazmo which was more convenient for downloading individual chapters.
>missing the point this badly
I remember the days of mangafox mayne

>>286200619>So all the hundreds of video essays made by normalfags and hood weebs like the one >>286199401 posted virtue-signaling and complaining about all the lolisho and incest in anime are all just projecting pedos now? Every single one of them?Always the case. Most normal degenerates and normal people don't care for trivial things like Monochrome chinese cartoons.
>>286175245Use mihon and have a bunch of extensions for the shittier sites, that way you can read your chapters but without the ads.
>>286195387There used to be exclusive scanlators to Batoto as well before it got fucked the first time they'll move
>>286204801Exactly normal people don't make video essays or campaign against things they have normal lives instead
>>286205184Some usually end up quitting every time people have to transfer.
>>286199401Why are you interested in a hobby for "creepy pedos" (your words)?
>>286206125>Why are you interested in a hobby for "creepy pedos" (your words)?Because I’m a battle shonenCHAD and wish to make all anime genres more like it.
>>286206381>he likes to watch underage characters do adult thingsKinda creepy.
>>286175562Thanks for informing us of this. It'll be dealt with.
>>286175245>>286182292https://torrentfreak.com/manga-piracy-giant-bato-to-china-coda-complaint/>Speaking with TorrentFreak, CODA notes that it was not in any way involved in the earlier reported enforcement actions by Kakao Entertainment, which focused on remaining communities on Reddit and Discord. Similarly, Kakao was not involved in the high-profile criminal referral in China.ohnonono
Honestly I'm surprised they didn't it sooner. Don't they link mangaplus for the shonen jump manga published there?
>>286175562>changed site design for no reason>it become way much worse>pages with updates now made for ants>manga labeled "pornographic" doesn't show up in your updates, you can look for them only in latest
>>286207979I'd say it's worse that you cannot add new entries on your own, but fair enough.
>>286201681Download magazines.
>>286207979>manga labeled "pornographic" doesn't show up in your updatesbut it doesthing that pisses me off is that you can't filter your library by the status you setI can't see which manga have I put on "plan to read" and my "reading" and "completed" entries are clogging up my library
>>286207979>>pages with updates now made for ants>>manga labeled "pornographic" doesn't show up in your updates, you can look for them only in latestworks fine on my machine>>286208351u can
>>286208393you can filter by status in the old version, dev must have forgotten to add it back.
>>286184250good.remember when z-library got 'taken down' and everyone freaked out ?when in reality it was still accessible all that time if you used tor ?i'm all for retard-proofing piracy and driving it back under mainstream attention if it filters people who don't know how to use a tracker or the concept of mirror domains.
I just keep a txt file with the names of shit I read and every now and then google a title to read all the new chapters on whatever's the first search result. If I really like it, I download the volumes on AB or goddess. Am I boomer? I dunno if it needs to be more complicated
>>286208393>but it doesI checked now, and it seems it kinda glitching both for when adding and removing titles, so they don't appear/disappear immediately, and status doesn't change right away. I hardly can blame my browser for this, can I?>>286208430>works fine on my machineCan you make screenshot of the latest updates? Because I tested it in both fox and chromium and it looks the same.
>>286190486The fact Mangadex wants to go corpo in fucking Britain is hilarious since Britain is not exactly an anime and manga friendly country compared to France. Even for normalfags, nobody is launching startups in Britain
>>286188128Because comick dev did not practice opsec and used his real name for CloudFlare services even though CloudFlare revealed they were willing to snitch based on the past precedent from Viz demanding the identity of who approved uploads of Boruto chapters on Mangadex
>>286201581>readable quality People want the best quality available. Aside from a small number of series where scans exist, all raws are derived from the digital versions and they're always worse in some parts. Rip some yourself (from Kobo) and compare them to what's circulated on nyaa or those blogs. Given the trouble of downloading from there and the low price of digital manga, it's never worth it.
>>286208775What a fucktard.
>>286176581genius yukiposter
>>286208775the stupidity of adults to engage in shit that 100% absolutely will bring legal attention to you with your real name and identifiable information will absolutely boggle me.literally just make something up if anything up if a vpn or webhosting service is asking for it and use a disposable email like proton.
>>286191501why say anything at all you dumb attentionwhoring nigger
>>286208729They're going corpo in Britain because the founder and CEO lives in a suburb of London
>>286175245>What is the alternative?comix and weeb central
>>286175245>Batoto was retarded enough to host manhwasBatoto, the og one at least, was born with manhwas.Its first uploaded series was Tower of God.
>>286175245legit in what way? why would shueisha drop their own platform for them?
>>286210985they want to turn it into a indie webcomic website and are now slowly removing every manga from MD to turn it into the main platform for their indie comics
>>286211167>Indie webcomic siteBut that's what their other website NamiComi already is!
>>286211381it flopped and hardly has any traffic
>>286211381didn't namicomi buy mangadex or something like that?
>>286209141They are never going to get quality because nothing gets scanned in the age of digital raws.
>>286210934>>286175245iirc batoto was made by tower of god translator group because back then none of the available web readers supported seamless webtoon mode or vertical scrolling at all.
>>286192925Yeah but they almost all have discordsand if discord pushes their facial recognition bullshit hard enough they'll get something else
>>286175245birus links
>>286211464NamiComi is owned and ran by the same people who owned and ran Mangadex so to give NamiComi some proper assets they sold Mangadex to NamiComi last August.
>>286175245Death to piracy
>>286211929There's a limit of how many servers you can be in.
