MangaDex is dying. So, where do we read manga now? Instead of jumping to the next pirate site in line, I BEG you to consider reading in LEGAL manga sites. I made this huge guide hoping that you can find the best fit for you. In some of these you can even read manga for FREE.

I’m convinced none of the people complaining about the localization knows that Ichi the Witch is as silly as it sounds in Japanese. People be saying anything nowadays

MangaDex got sniped (and with it over 7,000 titles ) but HEY! At least we got more AI slop. No self-respecting manga fan should consume anything touched by Orange AI. Put some respect on translators, letterers, and editors that put years mastering their craft, an ART.

MANGA WE WANT TO SEE ANIMATED | Part 1 We all have *that one* manga series we want to see have an anime so bad. Every year, Japanese fans vote in the "Manga We Want To See Animated" annual ranking. So I thought: Why not do this for fans in the West? And here are the results now!

To @VIZMedia and all other manga publishers: We do NOT want AI-translated manga. Respect translators, letterers, editors, and your READERS. Translation, just like manga, is an ART. So treat it as such! Say NO to AI🚫

VIZ Media quietly added an AI-translated manga to their app and hoped no one would notice. We did. Manga deserves better than cheap, soulless automation. This is a betrayal of translators, fans, and the art form. We don't want your AI translations! comicsbeat.com/dear-manga-pub…

Downplaying non-Japanese mangaka has to be one of the most braindead takes I won’t ever understand. Manga, like any other literary medium, is NOT exclusive to the country where it’s made. Manga can be made anywhere by anyone

Replying to @YeeAss and @MangaMoguraRE
1. Jump+ is a Japanese magazine 2. The role of the editor isn't "removing woke propaganda" 3. not reading, a western series cosplaying as a manga is as good as it sounds.

JUJUTSU KAISEN | ToC Ranking Evolution JJK's ranking has it all. Off to a very worrisome start, it managed to pick up the slack and establish itself in the top half of the magazine for half of its lifetime. And in late 2020, you can see the big jump in ranks after the anime!

MY HERO ACADEMIA | ToC Ranking Evolution Starting with my favorite series in the current magazine, MHA has ranked consistently high due to its exploding popularity since its beginnings. Nowadays, sudden breaks and late draft submissions have impacted its rankings.
