To be fair to them, I need to report about Keishou Scans too. They officially closed a little over a week ago, so this news post is a little late.

Sad that ANN (And Akiba Blog for that matter.) has more manga updates than Manga Updates.

Then, add some manga news. If lamb doesn't post it... or now about it, it won't happen.
Seriously, don't bitch about something if you haven't done anything to try and rectify it.

> implying that people go here for the news and not for the manga database.

You can submit your own news here: http://www.mangaupdates.com/news.html (you can also find the link on the top-left corner of many of the pages on this site)
Whether I choose to approve the news is up to me, but I usually do.

"DON'T FUCKING SAY SHIT IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO FIX IT!" - Is always funny to me. I LIT A FIRE.
But I didn't come here to argue, Champion of MU--I'm just saying it's funny/sad the only updates seen are about some group closing, rather than something important--something…interesting.
If you can't handle that, oh well.

We're not really a news site. There are other places for that. I'm not the kind of guy that goes out looking for manga news to post here. In fact, we have no one on staff that does news (used to, but not anymore). I'm basically the only one posting on the front page.
With that said, if you want to see a tidbit of news on the front page, you gotta tell me about it through pm or submit a news request (which I posted the URL to in another comment to this news post). Otherwise this site will be devoid of the news that you want.

...The only reason there isn't anything "interesting" added as news, is becasue no one gets off their asses to say anything.
So, if you want to see anything interesting, add it yourself and stop lamenting over it like a grumpy old man with one leg in the grave.
And it's not that I can't handle it... it's just that you are wasting air rather than making use of it.

meh w/e could see this a mile away. Its no wonder all these grps are going down. If u ever notice in credits or at beginning of manga people are always looking for help and new translators and all those jobs. this just goes to show what happens when people ignore pleas of help. Of course im sure theres more to it then that

I guessed as much that Franky house was dead but I didn't know any details. I always assumed they simply burned out like a lot of the smaller groups. The way the link described it, it was more like a crash and burn. It is a shame too. When they and so many other groups were active, it looked like manga just flowed. Now it is an unstable trickle in comparison.
Bwaaah!

Whoops. Posted on the wrong article. Damn. I liked a lot of the series Keishou translated too. The scanlation community feels so much smaller nowadays.
