News: Links to Scanlators Websites Removed from Manga Updates

K3

Update:  Fix on Github (Install Greasemonkey to fix Firefox) — LINK Manga Updates has removed links to scanlator websites from their listings.  Here’s a link to the explanation: Link It is not clear who made the request and I don’t understand how one entity can claim copyright over the entirety of mangadom.  I have my suspicions, but I’ll keep quiet on it. For me it comes down to considering who benefits from the link removal.  Still, I don’t think this will make much difference, since the lazy leechers already go to manga aggregators (cough) exclusively, and those who want to … Continue reading News: Links to Scanlators Websites Removed from Manga Updates

JManga/JManga7 is Shutting Down

K3

I imagine this is irrelevant news to most of you since JManga didn’t really serve this blog’s demographic well.  But just so you know, JManga/JManga7 is closing. If you were a user, please make sure to read the info on this webpage to make sure whatever money you have sitting in JManga gets returned to you: http://www.jmanga.com/urgent-message I browsed JManga only a little. Until recently, there weren’t any titles I wanted to read. They kept promising an iOS app, so I held off on purchases waiting for that promised iOS app.  Sorry, but I don’t pay money just to keep … Continue reading JManga/JManga7 is Shutting Down

December Plans, Winter Break Recruitment, and November Stats

K3

December is going to be much sparser than I planned.  The mature josei oneshot for Bakeneko’s Lair is going to 3 weeks to complete and there’s the craziness of the holidays.  So expect the next chapter of Magnolia to be the only release on Omari’s Sister.  If we’re lucky, I might be able to eek out something else. But! Do not feel sad, because January and February will be glorious. While I’m working on the josei oneshot, the rest of the group and our temps will be lending us part of their winter breaks to work on winter releases :). … Continue reading December Plans, Winter Break Recruitment, and November Stats
