Just posting the news here as well in case people somehow missed it.

Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it. We have decided to abide by their wishes, and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site. The removal of content will happen gradually (so you can at least finish some of the outstanding reading you have), but we expect all content to be gone by early next week (RIP OM July '10).

So what next? We're not really sure at this point, but we have some ideas we would like to try out. Until then, the One Manga forums will remain active and we encourage all of you to continue using them. OMF has developed into a great community and it would be a shame to see that disappear.

Regardless of whether you stay with us or not, on behalf of the One Manga team, I would like to thank you all for your unwavering support over the years. Through the ups and downs you have stuck with us, and that is what kept us going.

As a certain Porky was fond of saying... That's all folks!

Time for me to go lay down and let this all sink in.

And for some of you who were wondering, yes, 1000Manga will have its manga removed as well.

Also like to slip in my own thanks to all of you people here too for all the overwhelming support you have given us. We honestly never thought we'd get this far when the site opened up. But hopefully we'll be able to figure something out for the site's future so this may not goodbye just yet.

EDIT TO ADD:
The forums will remain open and active, nothing is going to immediately change here. There is a suggestions thread here for folks to offer ideas about what OneManga.com should do with the front page, but for the forums it's going to be business as usual.

This sucks! :'(

isnt it possible to hold until atleast OP hits 600

[BobTheDude]

Ummm... Geez, this sucks. When I was ten, I read all of the Hunter x Hunter issues there was because there were a few volumes missing from my comic store and I got sucked in. Then I forgot the name of the site. And later, I googled 'read Hunter x Hunter online' again. And I found OneManga. And I've been using it since. So now, I have no idea what to do. This makes me sad. *me is sad. me is crying. Me is beating clown with stick for smiling.* Anyway, all that aside, I have a question. Will the Weekly SJ stuff still be coming out? (Bleach, Bakuman, Naruto, Reborn, H x H if it's off hiatus...) Thanks. Sorry about the site ending...

What? NO! ****, OP isn't even at 600 yet!

My god this sucks. Been using the site for like three years or something like that. Interfact is clean and awesome, adds are barely noticeable, easily loads... crap.

My god man this sucks. Besides manga fox and mangatraders, I have to find another damn manga site...

Dammit, what next, Japan's gonna start hating on doujins?
