This week's poll was suggested by a drunkguy (just kidding, that's the username). It's related to a poll back in March about an opposite situation. The assumption here is that you are the leader of the demons and are opposed by the humans, so what do you do?

It's pretty crazy how the majority of you have always been single, yet romance as a genre is one of the most popular ones here. And over 80% are currently single... (which actually includes myself, by the way, haha)
This week's poll is from sara.. (yes, the two periods are part of the username). Pretty straight forward survey question. I originally thought about adding more options about if you had kids or not but decided against diluting the options any further.

I'm actually really surprised that Gender Bender is the most hated. Why is that the case? And by our definitions, yaoi is considered a demographic, so it purposely wasn't an option in last week's poll.
This week's suggestion from BooXx is about the genre you'd most avoid when reading a manga series. We tend to always use the question of "favorite" in the polls, so what about the one you hate the most?

This week's poll comes from our member TAK3Z0. Would you read a series from your favorite author but is heavily focused on a genre that you really dislike (i.e., harem)? Probably doesn't occur too often in actuality, but comment below if this actually happened to you before!

Assassin and then mage? Silent but deadly...
All,
I've added a new option in the user profile to filter series of selected type(s) from the releases, series, and stats pages. It's a long time coming.
This week's fun poll was suggested by Lost Rabbit. The list of classes isn't exhaustive, but it should cover most of the bases except for the specialized stuff like dragon knight or death knight...

This week's poll is from our member scsijon. Since you started reading manga (which for me was 12-ish years ago), how has your preferences changed over the years? Do you like the same kind of stuff still?

Sorry, if I had realized that we had done a poll similar to this before, I would never have chosen it. Honestly, I feel the older poll was a lot better (the one that ended on November 22, 2014)
Over the last couple of weeks, there's been some disputes between the scanlation group Yo Manga and the aggregate/scanlation group heymanga.xyz.
- YoManga accused HeyManga of using their raws without credit and hosting their releases without permission. And apparently the hosting is automated, as I've seen it happen within minutes of the release going up...
- HeyManga ignores the accusations and threatens with DDoS
- YoManga's site goes down due to DDoS (although no one can pin it on HeyManga)
- When YoManga comes back up, they start hosting HeyManga's releases without permission (and removing HeyManga's credit pages)
So it's basically like fighting fire with fire. Neither side appears to be letting up. Even earlier today, YoManga put up HeyManga's releases of Si-Eun.
In response, we've removed all of both groups' releases from MangaUpdates.
Life happens, and Japanzai is now leaving the scene.
