We are still falling victim to scattered DDOS attacks. If they continue, you can still get new releases in our manga channel on irc.irchighway.net, #baka-updates using the !manga command. This command is updated regardless of site outages.
Shinsen-Subs, an anime fansubs group, has officially started a Manga scanlating section, Shinsen-Manga.
It appears they are closing down...
"After two years together, we've decided to call it quits. I, the leader of JJ, was fed up with scanslation and decided to leave the group. No one else was interested in wearing my shoes. So we're done."
See the news at their website:
The site has been experiencing instability due to ddos attacks. We are working closely with our host to resolve this problem and should be running smoothly soon.
Update 11:15 est 3/28 - Manick We are still recieving a minor ddos at this time. Thank you for your continued support. We are doing everything we can to resolve the issue.
