Is it bad that I wanna vote for the BL one just because it's a BL even if I end up reading all of the one shots?

Started GetBackers. Not too bad thus far but man, the ecchi really takes me out of it at times. (Ban grabbing Hevn's boobs as a reocurring gag is especially obnoxious.) I'll soldier on, though. I will say it's pretty fun how Ban is quick to hard shut down Ginji when he gets his eyes on a girl, and I do like how openly affectionate they are.

>>12659>Goodbye to the only site I could read all 5 volumes of Princess Princess albeit in (mexican) spanish in their entirety…Fuck, that was the only site that had the complete version in a language I could read.
I should've downloaded it
on Mihon a long time a go, before all this mess.
Time to buy it used, in japanese and finally learn the language I guess.

>>12663LOL! OMG, I didn't realize it came out like that! I took it directly from lc and it was clear there. So sorry lol, it's basically just a mod of the discord saying bato's server is no longer working and that they're going to nuke the discord, but they'll make a new discord which will strictly be just about discussion and that illegal links are not allowed.

>>12659I hate to say it but we really need to go back to the day of private trackers for this kind of shit. Hell even having a site setup like the panda (do they even still use the panda jpg?) would probably ward off most Tiktok phonefags. Rip any official English scans I was reading

>>12669The idiots who would upload official rips only on bato and start fights with anyone who dared rip the same BL as them should have moved to torrent batches or something like sadpanda in the first place. Why would you advertise exclusively uploading rips of paid content on the one site and bitch out anyone backing it up elsewhere? Many of the titles I had to download off bato have big gaps on nyaa or were abandoned a volume or two in, and the goddess bot tends to rely on nyaa rips.
Pic vaguely related, two idiots were putting credits pages naming themselves as the rightful owner of the US official releases of some series and got in a spat over it. I'd accuse them of being 15-year-old girls but they had more money than me for this shit.

>>12671I will simply never understand this. I mean, don't scanlation teams usually have like, a page of credits or something? IDK, but I do some scanning in my spare time, and I'd like as many people as possible to have access to my scans. I couldn't care less if I don't get credit—that's not the point. Is this some sort of tiktok clout thing?
No.12674
>>12672its worse than that. it’s already annoying when scan teams act possessive and secretive over their translations but in this case it’s even more annoying than that because these people aren’t even scanning or translating anything. they’re just ripping it and reuploading and acting like that makes them owners of a series.

>On November 19, 2025, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau of China searched the residence of a man living in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on suspicion of copyright infringement. The suspect is alleged to have operated the world’s largest manga piracy site, BATO.TO (including approximately 60 related sites such as xbato.com, bato.to, and mangapark.io), and to have illegally distributed Japanese manga and other works without authorization from rights holders after translating them into more than 50 languages, including English. The man was detained, questioned, and has since been released on bail. He has admitted to operating all of the related sites and is expected to be formally indicted in due course.>Although the group of sites continued limited operation temporarily after the suspect’s detention for evidence preservation purposes, related parties later announced the shutdown of the services on social media. By January 19, the closure of all 60 sites had been confirmed.>This case was initiated following requests from Japanese publishers—KADOKAWA CORPORATION, KODANSHA LTD., SHUEISHA Inc., SHOGAKUKAN Inc., and SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. On September 25, 2025, CODA’s Beijing Office filed a criminal complaint with the public security bureau of China on behalf of these publishers. In addition, as part of its international collaboration efforts to strengthen the effectiveness of anti-piracy measures, CODA sought cooperation from China Literature Limited, a subsidiary of Tencent Holdings and one of China’s largest online literature platforms. China Literature confirmed that its comics had been unlawfully distributed on BATO.TO, and filed a criminal complaint in coordination with CODA. The fact that these coordinated efforts between Japan and China led to criminal enforcement represents a significant achievement in advancing international intellectual property protection.>This case originated from concerns raised about BATO.TO at the Five-Publisher Manga Piracy Countermeasures Meeting held in July 2024.(3) In response, CODA designated the site as a target under its Cross-Border Enforcement Project (CBEP) and initiated countermeasures. Through collaboration with cybersecurity experts, including ethical hackers, CODA conducted open-source intelligence (OSINT) investigations. Upon discovering that Chinese services were being used, CODA worked with a Chinese investigative firm to identify the operator, leading to the filing of a criminal complaint with the China’s public security bureau. CODA has also confirmed that more than 1,000 titles from the works of KADOKAWA, KODANSHA, SHUEISHA, SHOGAKUKAN and SQUARE ENIX—publishers that requested criminal prosecution—were available for viewing on BATO.TO.https://coda-cj.jp/en/news/830/ No.12776
>>12774well that sucks. I mean, I guess it's good for the relationship between Japan and China while they're on the fritz but bad for readers.

>>12774Meanwhile everyone was convinced it was webtoons that got the takedown enacted …
I guess large-scale publishers finally decided to start caring about copyright claims outside of Japan.
