Excluding Nyaa or private trackers, as many ongoing and more obscure titles aren’t available to torrent. I’ve been using Comick and Weeb Central, but I don’t really know how up to date they are on new scanlations as I think they’re mostly aggregating from other sources?
Weeb central, Comick
Just use Kotatsu (if you’re on Android). Best way to read manga online by far. https://github.com/KotatsuApp/Kotatsu
I’m partial towards bato.to. It used to be the aggregator before MangaDex came around, it even had ads and revenue share with the scanlators who uploaded there. Alas it eventually got a massive DMCA just like the MangaDex one, and combined with constant DDOSes and overall maintainer burnout, it died. It recently came back under different ownership and seems to be a very complete aggregator, which leans even harder on the piracy aspect, as it hosts official translations.
So this is why I had no release on tachiyomi yesterday- I knew it would happen but fuck
I recommend using some modern tachiyomi fork like tachiyomiSY, because even if your website gets shut down you can move your reading history to a new source and not lose your progress or downloads.
Do you know if any tachi forks have bulk migration? I’m on aniyomi and it only support migrating individual titles. Given entire manga sites can collapse overnight, bulk migration is becoming an important feature.
TachiJ2K is the fork that debut bulk migration, and, while relatively inactive, it’s technically still maintained. It’s very much feature complete though, so I wouldn’t much about it not being super maintained.
Personally, I’ve been using Yokai, it’s basically J2K, but actively maintained and getting feature updates.
Great site! Thanks
MangaDex was taken down? When did that happen?
They had DMCA requests for 800+ titles so it’s functionally crippled at the moment and it seems like they’re pivoting to becoming a self-published webtoon platform instead. Check here: https://mangadex.org/compliance/copyright-faq
