I know it's a really stupid thing to be depressed about but

as you guys probably know, i have this obssession / addiction. It is indeed that I enjoy reading Japanese comics also known as manga. Now where this addiction came from was from a litte site known as OneManga. You see it began when hui was looking at desktop backgrounds of animes that i enjoy and she stumbled upon and anime called to-LOVE-ru. So she searched it on the internet and found that you can read it on Onemanga. On Onemanga, I found that i could read one piece and started reading that. Along the way i picked up a few other mangas and was currently reading 3 and then I stumbled on to KUROSHITSUJI. And pretty much, my life was consumed with manga. It was insane, all I could think about and want to do was manga. I couldn't even believe how obssessed I was with it. But still, I love it with alllllll my heart so much that I think I would be a completly different person without manga.
But the manga publishers don't really care about that. Infact all they care about is money but they don't realise that their making a ridicously stupid move.

First, Mangatoshokan was taken away, everything was gone. And now, i thought mangas like One Piece and D.Gray Man would be safe because they are sooo popular that people would buy the comics anyway. I know i would (and do). But now, in about a week, everything will be gone and ill have to keep searching. Its only a matter of time before they reach Mangareader or mangafox or 8manga or any other manga site i find. So what am I going to do, stop reading all the manga that im currently reading? They can't take away all my manga.. why are they doing this.. Im going to have to download the chapters when they arrive at certain scanlation sites and lots of scanlation sites don't regularly do one manga and other sites will pick it up and there are hundereds of scanlation sites if not I cannot read my sleepy residents of bird cage manor, zetsuen no tempest, D.gray man, Blazer drive, 07 ghost, saiyuki ibun, saiyuki reload, tegami bachi, Addicted to curry, yakitate!! japan, Durarara!!, Torikago gakkyuu, switch, monokuro kitan, zombie-loan, Psyren, Darker than black, Soul Eater, Matantei Loki, Kuro Kami and arakawa under the bridge...

oh no, now i really wasted 2 years of my life... well, its been fun. Hope they don't find mangafox or mangareader or destroy the scanlation sites. till next time, Sayonara.
Ps: sorry for being such a drama queen... T_T

If you love reading manga so much wouldn't you be more than happy to pay for the manga and support the artists?

The problem isn't that they don't want people not to read the manga, and yes it is good for publicity. The problem is that too many people are reading the manga online instead of buying them, everyone in this world needs to turn a profit to survive. Once again, go buy the manga. The only series I read online are the ones that go past the Australian releases (I bought $400 worth of bleach over a year) or titles that if I were seen buying would well... it wouldn't help my reputation at all *Ahem LoveCom ahem*

The point is, spending money on manga encourages publishers to find artists and let the artists art which means more manga. The problem isn't people occasionally buying manga here and there it's people who straight up don't buy the manga at all *Ahem Jon, Sam T, Denzel and Vinnie D ahem*

P.s. Also it's the publisher's right to prohibit you from using their products free of charge... jus' sayin'...

I'm sure somewhere in this vast internet world there will be someone who'll upload them again.

Bad luck though

kk, but to be honest, i do buy the manga if i can find it/ afford it. I've searched comic book stores to find certain mangas that i really love (like nabari no ou, pandora hearts and kuroshitsuji) which i would happily pay for but yen press is silly because yen press is the publisher company who started this whole charade and they are the ones who lisence kuroshitsuji, pandora hearts and nabari no ou and inexchange for the manga on the internet, they give you this magazine that comes out every 6 months that is about a billion years behind. I mean, in kuroshitsuji, its reached chapter 47 but the yen press one only has up to about 20. So im reading it because the volumes and stuff are always far behind and some of the mangas i read are unpopular and miniscue that they dont even have a volume and have few chapters like monokuro kitan and durarara!!. More than half the manga i read dont even exist in australia and the people all around the world in places like mexico and slovakia dont even have access to volumes as like the closest thing they have is like 5 volumes of one piece, naruto and bleach from wal-mart. Ive spent like over $500 in the past year on volumes and merchandise that i wouldnt even have purchased if i didnt read the manga on the internet. Im not just going to go to the shop and buy some random manga. The thing is i like to read the manga on the internets, get obssessed with it then buy the merchandise (if i can find it [which is very very very rarely]). I would really like to help but i cant make other people buy manga and all the peoples i talk to on the forums says they will buys the manga if it is avaliable near them and unfortunately, most times its not. It takes longer for them to translate it to other languages like spanish and french to be sold in those countries and i know that kuroshitsuji has a ridicolously large spanish fan base so like thats why the internets is important. I mean, wouldnt you rather your manga get more exposure on the internet so that people know about and can act upon like i have done? If kuroshitsuji or one piece was never on one manga, i would have not purchased all that manga and merchandise and i have a shitload of it (have you been to my room recently?)

Roo, have you tried lots of other sites? I just googled free manga and I have about 6 tabs open of differnet sites..

im sure that there'll be ways to get your manga ru. The US Government did the same thing recently with TV shack (which is where I watch ALL my shows, like literalyl) and they shut it down, so I was devo'd, until Madisun! told me that it tvshack.com had moved to tvshack.cc, exactly the same website.

I wouldnt worry ru, publishers like to think they have an effect on getting stuff for free / the internet, but when theres a will (and about 12 trillion people using hte internet every day) there's a way ;)

ROOO i just found some site called OurManga (dunno if u've heard of it before or w/e) but the site has like Kuroshitsuji up to 45 (im the worst KUROSHITSUJI addict roo! I forget whcih chapter its up too! XD)

http://www.ourmanga.com/Kuroshitsuji

is that any use??

⚡ Ms Golden Week ⚡ said...

thanks maxim! (kuroshitsuji is up to chapter 47 btw, which is weird because our manga gets their kuro scans from blackasylum and blackasylum has all the chapters + omake)

The site has most of the manga but its a bit behind on most of the chapters so like other sites (mangavolume.com 8manga etc) but thanks maxim!!
