I know quite a few of us in the US/UK had issues with the site being down completely earlier (did any of y'all from anywhere else have that?). While waiting for the site to come back online, I decided to procrastinate on homework by checking out other manga readers and realized I don't know any that are as good as or comparable to mangago and work for me. So I want to know- what are your favorite manga readers? *Outside of the scanlators' readers, of course, which I prefer if I'm looking for something specific.
I'll list a few I tried and why/how they didn't work out in case you guys are interested.
1. Mangahere: quality wise, I'd say this is my favorite, even better than mangago. But I have severe lagging issues with it which is why I even started using mangago in the first place.
2. Mangareader: I don't like anything about it, tbh. It has a pretty limited collection, the search bar is really annoying to use.
3. Mangafox: Ties with mangago for user features and sense of community (the forum feature also makes for great discussion) but I find that most of the manga on there are unreadable, yet they keep posting updates.
4. Manga.animea.net: Pretty much the one I go to when mangago isn't at 100% since the pages are pretty much guaranteed to load and the collection of manga is decent. But...I'm not fond of anything else, really. The homepage design is plain (you have to open the manga page to see a summary for example), and too text heavy. Just the sort of place you go to when you know exactly what chapter of what manga you want to read, and don't wanna get bogged down by people's comments or anything. But not too good for discovering new manga or anything.
Sorry for the long post, but I was just surprised to see that I had so few viable options with these sites I've gotten to know over the last 7/8 years. Any readers you like to go to? (=・ω・=)

Hey guys! So I may or may not be bisexual. Can someone tell me how they figured it out/their experiences with bisexuality?

Hi guys. What language are raws usually in is it Japanese or Chinese? I ask because my lack of patience for chapters to be translated ( despite how much I appreciate the translators dedication and hard work. Those guys are rock stars ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ in my book) I have decided to learn the language. A greater world of yaoi will be open to me ヾ(☆▽☆). There are so much prequels and sequels and side stories that I wish to read and learning the language will enable me to do that. Yes it will also help me in my professional life as well but mainly the yaoi thing, that's my motivation lol(๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Hey people! I have a random question, what would you say is better or you feel more comfortable with...? 1) buying the ebook version of the manga so you can read it on your tablet, computer, etc or 2) buying the manga as a book and having it home...
I just want to know which is better for you all. I'm trying to decide right now which should I buy but I'm too indecisive hahaha so I would like some opinions about this ( ̄∇ ̄")

Oh wow. People on manga reader sites complaining about slow updates and arguing with scanlators, get over yourselves and learn to read Japanese if you can't help complaining. I've been reading yaoi for over a decade and before manga readers became a thing, we had to wait months or even years to read an update because 1. Dial up internet and 2. Downloads were via IRC
Darnit. People are so entitled these days.

NO judgment, NO debate on issues of fair use or morality, I'm JUST asking: How many of you buy the manga you read here when it becomes available in your country and/or in your language?
Click 'Thumb down' or 'Annoying' if you DON'T buy and 'Thumb up' if you DO buy or have bought in past based on what you read here.
Again, no judgment I'm just curious (and it would help me with my job, so I'd appreciate it). FWIW I own volumes of maybe 10% of what I've read based on my reading it here and would, if given the chance, buy more but I'm guessing I'm probably the exception to the rule. ( ̄∇ ̄")

Soooo..

I took a peek at the raws and because I taught myself how to read Hangul (even though I don't really understand it that well yet), I discovered that Edd freakin' told McQueen that he loves him in chapter 31 (I'm sure of this, because who the hell doesn't know what 'Saranghaeyo' is? XD). Anyway, back to the raws... so, (in chapter 32) after confessing, Edd started to walk away, but McQueen who was shocked at first, grabbed him by the arm and FREAKING KISSED HIM Y'ALL, I'M CRYING! And then after like idk flashbacks(?) from their time together or McQueen explaining sth to Edd, McQueen tells Edd that he likes him back and they'll kiss again and then they're gonna head home and make love. Kyaaa!
Okay, that's all I got, people... Sorry, I couldn't go into detail, cause my Korean vocabulary is very VERY small, so I am not able to spoil anymore than that... Believe me, there are more interesting things going to happen from what I've seen from the raws, but I am just unable to understand..
P.S: English isn't my first language either so I hope this is at least decently written and understandable for you guys and also I am very sorry in advance if I misinterpreted anything.
