What is the future of manga sites?
is this too difficult for tech illiterate zoomers? do kids need parental permission to make accounts now, is that why people are upset by this? they don't want their mommy to get mad because they pirate?mangadex has always given shit compressed images to people without accounts by the way, I'm surprised you couldn't tell you were reading slop
>>288462105t. etherealnekoI know because your post is obviously female-written
>>288462050I just use whatever is the first website listed on everything moe. No sign up or other nonsense needed. If you don't want to make a burner email you gotta find other ways.
why do zoomers have this weird reaction to making accounts?
>>288462105>>288462308So does dex pay you for these posts, or just let you read more free chapters?
>>288462050Just torrent
>>288462050I stopped using this site after that mtf tranny admin removed a bunch of loli stuff. registering for an account is the least of their issues
>>288462050must admit I only use mangadex for uploading my releases now. with vpn of courseI mostly use mangafire and other aggregators to read on myselfnot sure where to upload when mangadex finally croaks. I guess mangago, mangaball, or mangataro or something as a stopgap solution until a proper new scanlation hub comes alongalthough not going to hold my breath after what happened to comick and weebdex
this seems to be the future of manga imageboards at least
>>288462050Where can I find early fan-translation chapters of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun.
>>288462668Why do you read translations if you can read Japanese?
>>288463059because every translator that translates japanese for scanlations are doing it to learn japanese, and it's easier reading other scanlations than japaneseyou don't really have experienced translators for scanlations, they quit when they can develop their skills anymore
>>288463154You get better at Japanese by reading Japanese.
>>288462050Learn Japanese
>>288463202but you enjoy something you can read fluently more, and I'm not sperg enough to always force myself to read japanese
>>288463903But you are sperg enough to translate and release such translations?
Doesn't matter, I already read all the good manga and watched all the good anime years ago because I'm almost 40. I just come here to make fun of zoomers and talk about the anime girls I want sitting on my face.
I just download everything I want to read, pretty much always have.
>>288463154>>288463202>>288463903Why would anyone trust someone that mostly reads stuff in a language other than Japanese with translating a manga into Japanese. Jesus Christ, I still feel like I'm closer to being a beginner, but the more things I hear about what the larger scanlation community does the more I feel overqualified at doing it.
>>288464316Most "translators" first produce translations for themselves and then share them because of the effort they took and to give something back to a community they benefit from.Meanwhile somebody that can fluently read Japanese has nothing to gain from translating or sharing.
>>288464613They could want other people to be able to read a series they like. But I do kind of understand. I was thinking I'd be translating a bunch of stuff but I'd rather just read manga instead of taking the time to translate.
>>288462105Bullshit, they've always served png if it exists.
>>288464214false
Manga sites are pretty much a thing of the pastthey just end up as fodder for apps like Mihon
>>288462050Does anyone have a complete list of everything that was on Mangadex? Like the names and stuff?
>>288462050if it gatekeeps faggots like you i dont mind
>>288462308>he said, on a website whose main feature is not requiring an account to post.
>>288462050torrents baka>>288462105>>288462308trolls or worse than OP
>>288464214please tell me the best manga?
>>288468069>torrents when m4d0k4m1 exists
>>288466128These threads are all paid advertisers trying at FUD. You'd think a product has to be functional first for that to work but...shrugs. report and ignorehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty,_and_doubt
>>288463903You're being gatekept. Find another hobby.

temp-mail.org
>>288462050korean webtoons are the future of manga reading sites
>>288468032The fake rangebans are getting crippling though. If a good cookie expires for whatever reason, you can be locked out for weeks.
CD Romance had to do something similar to keep companies from taking down romhacks and shitSure it was annoying but I just created the fucking account.
>>288462050>uh an account>how do I sign in with apple?>uhm hellolol
Why bother using MangaDex when there are so many easier, lighter sites that just scrape from it?
>>288468196That's more steps than it requires to avoid using an account.
>>288462050>reading something on mangadex>don't usually care about user comments but decide to check the comments on this particular chapter>pic relatedlolIs it just me or is mangadex getting really desperate lately?
>>288469922You can actually still comment on the forum, but it's really desperate and sad
>>288470340They want people to eventually use that new and worse format only, so it will probably be made more difficult over time.
everyone says Learn Japanese as if the raws don't have significantly less seeders than the english releases
i wish weebdex worked outit was great for a short while
Use Suwayomi and/or torrent to read and avoid shitty website bs, simple as
>>288470472Alright but there has to be a primary source, right?
>>288462050What's even the purpose of this? Preventing bots from scraping?
>>288470372You don't need to torrent to read raws, you don't need to pirate at all. The publishers have sites and apps that let you read for free and almost everything is available for digital purchases.There's magnitudes more manga available in Japanese than in English.
>>288470524maybe i just need to be spoonfed then but thanks for the infoin my experience it is usually only the latest chapters that are free and starting from the beginning is paid
>>288470493Yes? You don't have to suffer the shitty UI etc. to access the material, anon-kun. Most of the sites simply reupload each others material anyway and are not a "primary source".
>streaming mangaJust go to a manga cafe, there is a new one called hedgehog it mainly has yuri.
>>288470524>purchasesjesus christ fuck off
>>288470560>Just go to a manga cafeI hate being in this rural bumfuck town so much.
>>288470551You need an account and then you can read previous chapters without paying. They use a point or charge system to limit how many chapters you can read per day.
>>288470558Yeah but what I mean is that primary sources are still critical points of failure and the ones that matter rather than the reuploaders which are basically just "low friction solutions" for lazy people.Anyway call me a retarded newfag (wish I was) and to lurk more but what would even be primary sources nowadays? Nyaa?
>>288470565Get a different hobby if you think supporting the creators is a bad thing.
>>288470595>but what would even be primary sources nowadays? Nyaa?Bookwalker, Kobo, DMM, DLsite, publisher specific sites
>>288468032Bodied that freak
>>288470560That one is haunted.
>>288470620These would be primary for raws but not the scanlated releases, which seemed to be focused on Mangadex for the last few years but not anymore
>>288470644Scanlations will never be primary.
>>288470668You got what I meant though. For all retarded EOPs like... >90% of the Western fanbase (including me), there has to be a few "canonical" ways where scanlations are released, but other than Nyaa and maybe one or two private trackers I'm not exactly sure.
well, you better get used to eating shit, because all the manga sites you see popping up are bug-riddled vibecoded garbage and the older ones are walking the same path (like comix)
>>288470707Patreon, Discord and similar walled gardens.
>>288470612>wasting money on hobbieslol I'll pirate until I'm 100
>>288470595that can vary quite a bit as it depends on the scanlator individual/group and where people upload. As >>288470644said people used to primarily upload to mangadex but that's not the case anymore. Mangago might be the most popular one now but I am not sure. Most manga torrents tend to be reuploads.>primary sources are still critical points of failureLegal action is almost always taken against websites, not scanlators themselves. there will always be a new website for people to upload to and I'm sure theres a lot of non-public distribution anyway
The absolute state of /a/
>>288464214this
>>288462050Good thing I deleted my mangadex account before the last hack happened.
theres already like 30 different sites that do what mangadex does but betterdon't limit yourself to garbage
Every couple of months I see kids jumping from one crappy site to another just to watch their anime in 480p with watermarks, or reading manga filled with ads while crying their hearts out site #47 is dead and it just keeps getting worse
What's up with the retarded shill who shows up in every single one of these threads?
>>288471293Ask yourself who keeps making these threads.
>>288471186Why would anyone have something there that mattered if it got hacked?
>>288471293what's he/she shilling exactly?
>>288471215Original resolution and quality, no watermarks? I doubt that, and that's what's important even if you don't use a site directly.
>>288471476a surprising number of people use the same email/password for everything
>>288471498Manga
>>288471515>Original resolution and quality, no watermarks?You won't get those on Mangadex either with all the scanlators using public raws.
>>288471515nta but I know at least 3 sites that scrape directly from official sources and nyaa, plus a few that keep the original resolution but transcode to webpthat shit is all listed in the .moe wikis
>>288471574That's a problem, but that doesn't mean even further reduction is fine.
>>288471498>>288470620
>>288462050>open google>search for what I want>get what I wantThis worked for me for the last 30 years, never failed.
>>288462050What even encourages scanlation groups to continue prioritizing mangadex? Not only do they do shit like this which gatekeeps people from seeing any kind of credit pages or donation links supporting your group, they'll even nuke all your shit from their site the moment they catch a whiff of any kind of licensing happening or when they receive a DMCA. Wouldn't the smarter move be just to just boycott this garbage site and let it die so the next biggest one can take over?
>>288471942A DMCA is going to be followed when they made themselves easy to find, but being licensed isn't an immediate deletion. The groups that upload there and tell people to go to their paywalled sites for more do need to be removed.
>>288470517>What's even the purpose of this? Preventing bots from scraping?forcing people to sign up so they'll get more more when they sell the site
>>288470827>lol I'll pirate until I'm 100how to tell someone's skin color
>>288471942>What even encourages scanlation groups to continue prioritizing mangadex?it gets scraped by all the relevant aggreagators within seconds when you post to mangadex
>>288472107white as snow, there's a reason why the whole torrenting scene started and was dominated by Northern Europe when internet started to become more main stream. Sweden even had a political party called the "pirate party" that got enough votes to sit in the government in the 00's.
>>288471942To upload to mangadex, I have to>zip my chapter>click the spooky scary EULA>press upload>can edit it immediately if I ever need toTo upload to other sites, I have to>join the discord>prove I can be allowed into the good boy channel>wait for one of the mod approved users to be online>send him my chapter>wait for him to check my chapter>a few days later the chapter is uploaded>need to repeat this process for every single site since they don't rip from each other like mangadex>god help us all if I need to make any edits
>holier-than-thou types in my 4chanfeeling like I'm getting too old for this board
>>288470517Selling information like what tags the manga you read have so you can be advertised to more directly and efficiently
To the anon who recommended mihon to me a few weeks ago, many thanks
How do you guys use Suwayomi? Do you run a local server for it?I have a VPS – I guess, I could use it for this too, but I'm new to all of this.
>>288472575Read the github instructions. Then install extensions that you can find easily to download manga. You can use the webUI to read on your computer or connect from another device on the same network. I read manga on my tablet this way and it werks. You will have connection issues with some retard sites and will need flaresolverr as well (also in the github instructions).
>>288472165you've got a nigger's soul anon
I can't imagine being a manga fan and still being against piracy, so much of the good stuff isn't even legally availableThe same is true for anime, movies and music
>>288474332>so much of the good stuff isn't even legally availableIt should be in Japanese. The issue is how shitty the English translation scene is, either official or fan. I'm not against piracy, but being willing to pay does give you access to plenty of things that I at least was never able to find in pirated form. And especially if they're not translated, the quality of public raws is incredibly hit or miss. Though it's more hit than many people on /a/ would lead you to believe.
>>288474332>so much of the good stuff isn't even legally availableI doubt you read that much rare doujin
>>288462050It can be bypassed with ublock
>>288474332It's quite the opposite. I can't believe being a manga fan and staying a pirate. So much of the good stuff is only available for paying users.It's rather different from anime where almost everything gets ripped.
>>288468143How is this FUD?
>>288463202Cool, and where can I get scanlation quality nip RAWs?
>>288478652Kobo
>>288474332>The same is true for anime, movies and musicpeople not paying for shit is a big reason for the decline in quality of these thingsalso look at the french, they actually buy manga, so they get more translations than the english speaking world
>>288478770Anime has been booming thanks to Chinese and other overseas streaming providers.The quality is declining because the Japanese production capacities are spread thin and they're getting replaced by foreign animators and artists. The current market cares more about quantity than quality and the streaming model provides less incentives for higher production standards.
>>288462050>streaming mangaFirst of all, you should steal an eye patch then put it on and then you do THAT.
>>288478732Luckily I've been in the Kobo ecosystem ever since the Borders closure firesales.>Borders has been dead for 15 yearsF
>>288473902We don't use that word here.
>>288468069This and I2P, unironically, heck we are going o end up on a .onion site at some point
>>288479969SOVL*
>>288462050You can literally just use your adblocker's block element feature to remove the notification. I hope you all know this.Mangadex is gay for doing this, but if you don't have an account, it's even gayer to buckle and sign up
Fuck mangadexFuck FakkuFuck IrodoriFuck Jacob
>>288472107he sounds white as fuckonly browns entertain the idea that they will pay for things when they earn real money
>>288462105I hate accounts on dex because it logs me out constantly for no reason
>>288480371exactly though only on the reader, the forum is seperateWhy don't mangadex offer a convenient download option?
>>288464214>doesnt matter im a boomerLiterally the worst person itt
>>288471942Genuinely, where else would they upload? It seems dex is literally the only option. I don't see an upload feature on the other aggregators
>>288481317go to piratebay dot com and post it there
>>288477913>if you don't make an account, you won't have good pngs He's trying to spread uncertainty around accounts, hence FUD. The product that they're selling is the account.
>>288481317you can use mangago, mangataro, and mangaball for uploads, but they don't get scraped immediately by aggregators right after you upload. but they can work as a stopgap solution at least
>sign up for mangadex 'cuz it seems pretty cool>less than a literal week later they're scrubbing loli from the sight and announcing they've been bought out
>>288478652you can rip from bookwalker with the scanlation school script or other scripts at leastbookwalker has a lot of free stuff and sales, so some times it might be worth using it instead of kobo. though kobo is significantly easier and quickerripping epubs from bookwalker is a bit more complicated

>daily shitdex tourist thread
>>288462308Why do you faggots keep treating us zoomers as if we're still kids? Most of us already work and even have children. Creating an account goes againat our privacy
>>288482939yes, and to that purpose they sell accounts to the users.
Why do people still use mangadex even when it's gone to complete shit?
>>288483101It's not their fault they were born like that.
>>288483101Not every manga uploaded there has yet to be taken down. Though I've learned to have more than one site to go to for reading manga.
>>288470340They banned me because I laughted at them too much
>>288481317/a/
>>288470560I heard it is frequented by some cat slut that seduces old men for money...
>>288482925The main appeal of Bookwalker is the subscription. Another nice feature is the option to subscribe to a series to automatically purchase new releases as they come out. Finally the shop interface is more practical with the ability to switch between single volumes and series, applying filters such as removing stuff you already own or the wishlist/sequels. Kobo is hard to navigate if you aren't looking for one specific title.I mainly purchase on DMM these days. You need a Japanese IP for books but the combination of sales+coupon+point return is attractive and you can rip epubs with some effort.
>>288482882Are you the guy who thinks that Bleach threads are artifical, bot-infested circuses?
you people read manga on your browser?
Nyaa doesn't even allow new uploaders anymore.
>>288485309Why the fuck not?
>>288484872In sub-4k resolutions to boot.
>>288485340People were posting CP when the registrations were still openThe real reason is they're lazy fucks who don't want to moderate the site so they're sticking with the same uploaders, that way they don't have any work to do. The site is abandoned
>>288485309Last time I checked, you just had to ask for it on their... IRC channel
>>288485515No longer works
>>288462105you have reached your daily post limit, please log in to keep using 4chan

is comick coming back? it's the main site I've been using since mangadex limited you to 3 reads a day
>>288485927*comix
>>288462050It's been a few days now and I keep seeing this same thread seething about making an account to read more on Mangadex.Just do it, do it with a burner email if you're that paranoid. How else are you supposed to track which which manga you're reading and whenever a new chapter gets uploaded? It's especially helpful if you're following a manga with an inconsistent scanlation release that are usually days, if not weeks behind the raw release.
>>288486047You shouldn't rely on a site to keep track of what's being read.
>>288485616That's partially the case with e-mail verification.
>>288486047>How else are you supposed to track which which manga you're readingUsing one of the sites for this that doesn't host content that risks it getting taken down. I've never found it necessary to need to be notified of a new chapter. I guess if you're one of those people that read 500 ongoing manga, but it's not something I've found I needed. Not to mention I don't read everything I'm reading on Mangadex and often download things so that's another reason not to care about MD's notifications.
>>288486047I simply read the magazines when they become available, no need to track the specific titles. Remembering the names of a few dozen magazines and when they come out isn't hard.
So many oldfags that have no clue where the scene moved to and so many newfags that have no clue, no I will not tell you what websites but do keep using dex for our sake.

I still get spam mail and login attempts because of the mangadex hack, fuck everyone telling you to make an account and fuck mangadex for stabbing everyone in the back.Mangadex is NOTHING without the translators who do it for free, their mods should be flailed and boiled for seeking profit.
some very dumb people in this thread

I'm out of touch. Is it that much harder to make a new email account in 2026 than say, 2012?
>>288462050>t. tech illiterate
>>288464214Truth nuke right there. Modern manga is shit and these zoomers are the biggest cock sucking faggots in existence.
>>288492474People refused to make email accounts for e-hentai in 2010. Why shouldn't they refuse to make email accounts for sites now?There's no real argument for why you would need an account.
>>288495214The difference being that Dex is a fucking corporate cesspool now. If you're still using it you have to be mindful that it's on borrowed time, basically. It's a deprecated solution.
>>288495184There's so much manga it's impossible that it's all bad. There's many times more currently ongoing manga than anime in any given season. Ironically the people that say shit like this are the ones that rely on the front page of Mangadex to decide what to read.
>>288495382>There's many times more currently ongoing manga than anime in any given season.There's around 100 ongoing anime.There's around 10,000 ongoing manga.And the people calling everything shit haven't even seen those 100.
>>288462608how would I torrent a niche series with no seeders?
>>288467584I use Kahon
How do people struggle to understand that there’s more than one website you can use? There’s a whole index you can pick from if you don’t want to torrent…
>>288462050No one provided a better alternative to dex so just made my account, now I can save the mangas Im currently reading, hell yeah
