When I first saw warnings on onemanga.com (my favorite online manga reader site) that they are having troubles with publishers regarding the manga scanlations they hosted. I simply ignored it thinking that they will find a way to survive. After all onemanga is not the only manga site hosting scanlated mangas.
But today after checking onemanga.com the worst fears of a manga fan came true. There have indeed suspended their online manga reader.
Ever since I got inducted into world of Mangas by Naruto, onemanga.com has been my source for quality manga. Not only Naruto but also Full Metal Alchemist, Fairy Tail, One Piece ... the list goes on. I started reading all these mangas at onemanga.com and now onemanga has succumbed to the pressures of publishers and has decided to suspend their online reader.
Well I am not sure of the implication if that statement if they are just going to remove the reader interface for mangas and the manga themselves will be available in some form hosted some where and available to download , I am not sure. News regarding this announcement can be found here at onemanga.com . Like everyone I am also waiting for an update regarding onemanga.com's future. I hope they will survive in some form.
One other line of thought I have is whether I should keep reading mangas online or should I buy them and support the publishers. Well that's thoughts for another blog post ;)
For those who are not familiar with with word scanlation read the wikipedia article on Scanlation .
