I'm sure you've all heard about OneManga shutting down.

Quote :: "There is an end to everything, to good things as well."

It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). 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 2010).

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.

You can also show us some love in this moment of sadness by 'liking' our brand new Facebook page. It would be nice to see just how many of you came to enjoy our 'better than peanut butter and jelly' invention.

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.

¬.¬ i've used it since forever but atm i'm only reading naruto, bleach & High School of The Dead. It's easy enough to find them else where but i still think it's a shame, one manga was always a great source.

It's a shame they are shutting down, but I use Mangasteam anyway because they usually come out a day before. However it is a shame, with the statements they make in their topic it almost worries me that this might be a chain effect.

I use Mangastream too but One Manga had a lot of sentimental value to me being the first manga source I ever used. Plus, it was best for reading old mangas. God, this is definitely gonna be a chain effect.

I agree with Adam and Josh. OneManga was the first manga source I found, before moving on to Manga Stream. May it RIP, and I hope this isn't chain effect. </3

Technically its supposed to be all manga sites because of the rule, but OM was the first because it had so many hits. I think Mangafox will be fine because they remove all scnalations of a manga as soon as it gets licensed.

Point? There are a lot of illegal sites that distribute stolen media. I doubt every single one will go down. :\

Theyll find most of em. There'll always be a few obviously, but the big ones will take the hits.

Of course. I guess that makes the most sense.
