Mangastream shut down. Did I miss the memo or was this sudden af? ! Then again groups just disappear left and right. What else is new. '___'

Welp, I guess I missed the memo too. Apparently, Jaimini's Box took that as the cue to stop scanlating all Weekly Shonen Jump too. I totally understand their reasons, but it still is a little surprising.

I understand why as well. Its just there was no notice (that i am aware of except a Reddit post apparently that I can't find) before they took the site down so I got whiplash.

My goodness...it’s truly the end of an era. RIP Mangastream.... how am I going to survive the wait on boku no hero academia

I'm sure there will be others to fill the void, but whether or not they will be good quality is another story. One Piece already has a decent enough translation out after all.

Mangastream was fast and the end result looks alright. That´s about it. The translations are workmanlike at best. I won´t miss them and basically all either have other groups or will have new groups very soon.

I always disliked their way of taking over scanlation from popular series that already had capable groups working on them.
