There's been remarkable outrage regarding the soon to be closure of OneManga (to be exact: the manga reader is closing down, but the forum will remain up). No matter what your stance on scanlatons are, it is sad news to see the site go. For me, personally, it's the end of an era - which started with my entering university and, ironically, the end

But I'll stop here. I've seen so many rants in the past few days about this that I don't really feel like talking about it anymore XD.

Vassalord is fun!

I personally fear that things are going to get worse, rather than better.
You know, I'm learning Japanese and will, once I'm good enough, resort to reading stuff in the original language. With translations the problem remains that, no matter how good they are, something will always be off.

It's fine - read when you like?

Das FBI? Wirklich o_0? Da bekommt man es ja fast mit der Angst zu tun und das schlechte Gefühl in meiner Magengrube steigert sich.
Ja, da hast du leider wieder mal Recht. Es gibt aber jetzt Versuche, seitens von CrunchyRoll Manga auf dem Internet legal zu machen - man musste monatlich eine gewisse Summe bezahlen. Und ich warte mal ab was sich aus dieser OpenManga Geschichte ergibt die - angeblich - auch darum bemüht ist Scanlations legal rauszubringen.
