So anyway, i used to use this website named mangatoshokan to read manga and it was really good cause it had allllllllllllllllllllllllllll the manga i needed to read but then, the publisher people came and threataned legal action so lots of manga had to be removed from the site and the result is that every single one of my manga on my reading list has completely vanished. apparently 36 publishing companies decided that sites like onemanga, mangafox, mangatoshokan etc are earning as revenue and/or membership dues at creators' expense and that because the manga is on the internet, the people wont buy it in volume and magazine form.
This is reallllyyyy stupid cause all these sites are not charging their readers for memberships and they will earn less moneys by not having the mangas on the sites i mean like, if i didnt find one piece or kuroshitsuji or pandora hearts on onemanga, i wouldnt have bought one piece volumes (which i spend soooo much money on) and i wouldnt buy the yen press mangazine and its also bad for the authors and artists as their mangas dont get as much exposure as they used to and new fans cant stumble upon their mangas and love it.
The coalition is reportedly threatening legal action against 30 scanlation sites, whose names were not revealed. The organization currently includes Japanese publishers Kodansha, Shogakukan, Shueisha, Square Enix, and the Tuttle-Mori Agency, as well as North American manga publishers Vertical Inc., Viz Media, Tokyopop, and Yen Press.
Viz media includes one piece and yen press stole my top 3 fave mangas.. So now i have to go search alternate websites for Torikaga Gakkyuu, Monokuro Kitan, Kuroshitsuji, Pandora Hearts, Nabari no Ou, Zombie-Loan, Soul Eater, Arakawa under the bridge and kuro kami... so dumb..
