How is it that reading manga is one of the most unrealistic types of media these days? $20 for four chapters you can finish in an afternoon is impossible for a lot of people, and all other options are dropping like flies.
[STATUS] Comick.io closes down.

paying for digital manga is an absolute fucking scam.
it’s a shame that so many great series will never license physical copies in english.

At least we can read stuff for free on the manga plus app, but pretty much anything that isn’t on that app is going to be expensive like you said. And what if I don’t want to read on mobile?

While I don’t want to speculate, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the same thing that happened to MangaDex.

For the longest time I keep trying to find a variety of sources to get comics in case this happened. but Comick always had the most issues. So I kept getting my issues from them, and now it happened

Thanks! I am primarily working in a lab today and haven’t really been able to stay plugged in.

Oh. I guess this isn’t a “wait it out” situation then.

What other good options are there?

I like weebcentral because they have RSS support, makes it very convenient to keep up with updates without needing to make yet another account on yet another site.
Here’s hoping it won’t become too popular or the axe might come for it next.

Someone needs to make an archival torrent of as much manga as possible
DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 1 hour ago
Note that weebcentral has already rebranded more than once, so I personally can’t trust it as a stable source anymore

If you don’t use an app to read, it’s probably easier to switch to Kenmei.
PrincessKadath@ani.social 9 hours ago
As far as I know, Kenmei is just a tracker?

kenmei nuts fit in your mouth? gottem

It tracks progress but directly links to hosts, so you can read with it too, that’s actually the main feature.

Does anyone have recommendations for those of us using apps?

Was that a comic piracy website?

Aggregator, but yes in the end.
