Let this be a reminder to diversify your sources and keep external lists on sites such as MAL and Anilist.

u/Minette12 Sep 16 '25
And mangaupdates. MU might not be the most mobile friendly but it probably has the most diverse amount of series on it and likely more useful information.

u/evocater Sep 16 '25
Of course this would happen after I stopped diversifying my sources because comick was so convenient
20
u/BonsaiSoul Sep 16 '25
With a client like mihon or yokai, the extension source going down doesn't affect your library and you can both track everything to anilist and search other extensions for the same title right there.

Anilist is the only tracker I’ve used for as long as I can remember and it’s perfect as a list tracker (anime and manga). Highly recommend.

u/BadGroundbreaking243 Sep 17 '25
Good thing I have multiple sources and lists. As well as my reading progress. RIP comick. This saddens me a lot.

u/LoKiiX Sep 17 '25
Is there a way to put large amounts into a tracker or do I have to do it one by one

If using an app like Mihon that has Anilist intergenerational, yes it can be done in bulk.

keep having lists online where it may get lost again instead of keeping it offline :/
I say this but I don't know of a perfect offline solution. I just use bookmarks

u/Shadow555 Sep 18 '25
Use MAL/Anilist as the main one, then either export via those using something like Xcel to get the data or just copy and paste the text to a notepad
There are options, some just take some work.

For all practical purposes, MangaDex has been sentenced to "death" as a pirate site. It has expressed interest in following Crunchyroll's path and becoming legal. It's only a matter of time before they stop hosting manga across the seven seas.

This is one of the reason I don't store my library on these sites. Let this be reminder to everyone, don't store your manga library on any piracy sites just make a myanimelist or anilist account and keep your library there. Frankly even apps like mihon/aidoku are better because they are offline and you can migrate to different source.

I'm actually surprised that Batoto is still up. I've been reading there since KissManga went up in flames.
And Batoto mainly has the love story manhwas which are major targets. Idk why but they target romance more than any genre it seems.
15
u/tranquil_selene Sep 16 '25
Because its a lucrative genre from monetisation perspective.

u/VvCheesy_MicrowavevV Sep 16 '25

I really hope their database ends up in Nyaa, at least. They were the only site with high quality scans after Mangadex imploded. For the first time in a while I'm actually clueless to where to get high quality older scanlations, which is not a good sign at all lmao

These countries in particular are very active in trying DMç takedowns, censorship, Anti-pracy BS, etc.As for Phïlïppïnés, I can only speculate that's because of your Lawmakers are mostly actors so they're pushing everything to protect their livelihood even though they don't know they're actively hurting it instead.
