recently I've read a bunch of comics (spiderman/batman) and they are ok but not on par with manga. comic books aren't the same kind of thing as manga, manga is mainly story based where as 95% of comic book issues are bad guy of the week (month in most cases). also the sam...

HQ scans are FAR better than speedscans however to most of the average readers there isnt any difference to them. however the people who cant tell have at least 50x the numbers of the people who can tell the difference. my biggest issue with Manga share is they put their ...

Actually I dont think they would be able to compete with OneManga due to the fact that it most likely would only contain a fraction of the manga that OM did and it wont have the super popular current manga series that brings in most of the views. Personally I think its a ...

it's technically in the gray area of the law. if a series is licensed and disturbed or if a scanlator sells their scanlations then it is illegal however scanlating unlicenced manga without profit can be viewed as a first amendment thing. especially since translating is in...

their release schedule was terrible, they had like one release per 3 months. even a hq scan should only take 2 weeks TOPS. this group never really had what it takes.

i filter out Yaoi unfortunately there are a lot of Yaoi doujin that arent marked as yaoi or in the data base that sneak through the filters. this allows me to block groups who do unmarked yaoi.

i've been doing this for years, i suggest buying a 100 DvD pack and burining all of it to that. i can store about 4.5G of manga on them for 30$ and its well worth it in the long run. you get better quality that way as well.
