King Chris?

I love king Chris, but no he's called lonelyman

Oh okayy thanks

As a reader that waiting them to be together for almost 13 years, yes..i want them to have happily ever after as soon as possible

Exactly! I've only started following this like an year ago and it was just a couple of chapters before that they confessed their love. I can't imagine waiting 13 yrs for that ╥﹏╥

Ive been rereading this for so many years they deserve a happy ending and beside what if something happens to the author (god forbid) and itll never get an ending like other mangas ive read. My heart would break if i never got to see this end; hopefully its a good ending and not rushed.

I don't even know where that one came from. It's like people just heard this one-sided rumor and started spreading it all over the place without even fact checking first. I'll believe it when they present real evidence to this claim. So tired of the drama...

Okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Agree that's why I'm so confused while reading the comment lol they should comment on ... On or off manhwa why here tho...

I think that along the way people might’ve twisted the information along the way. From what I know, I haven’t heard anything about the the first comment on the discontinuation of this series. I have however heard from the scan group who have mentioned on their discord server that during an interaction with the author, the author said that if m*ngago refuses to take down the series from their site, then the author might go as far as to discontinue On or Off.

Ohhh not the manhwa ... Shet im so dumb (￣ε(#￣)Σ

Did they show you any proof of that talk? Screenshots of their convos, emails, anything?

The previous translators stated that the author of On or Off (who is also the author of this manga), found out that this manga was being posted here and demanded it be stopped. They were told they were not to post anymore, but one person talked to the scan team and agreed to finish the 2nd volume, but not to post the third. The team then also stated that no one else was allowed to pick it up either, as the author apparently threatened to stop publishing. Can't remember if they specifically stated On or Off, but I think they did. Anyway, no, there was no emails or screenshots provided (as someone else in the replies asked), so not sure where the proof of the threats were, but that is how it came up with On or Off being mentioned in the comments for this manga. Since, as mentioned before, they are by the same author.

I think the original scanlation team is also worried that they will get blamed and sued if this manga keeps appearing here, even if it is another group that picks it up.

Not thus far as I am aware.

Granted, there may be proof on their Discord server....

They were referring to the possible discontinuation of On or Off not this manga. Although it could also stop any future to this manga as well.

The original scan team cannot stop someone from doing something. That's infringing on someone's free will. They can however ask them, encourage, or try to prevent them. Plus another team can post it elsewhere and manga*go's bots can automatically rip it from there. Theres many factors. Theres also the saying "don't cut off your nose to spite your face" . Why would they cancel a wildly popular current manhwa thats drawing in $ over a fan scanulation of a completed one from years ago?

Newsflash... The author nor the publisher is making any money with it being posted here. The publisher made the request and the scan team complied. Stop making assumptions.

If the new team wants to keep going... They can the original team just want their chapters removed bottom line.

It could be a result of the loop that everyone has been thrown for since the pandemic started. With so many people having had to work from home or not at all for the last 2 years, it is very possible that they are NOT making big bucks at the moment. That may be why some works have been put on hiatus, some authors/publishers are cracking down harder than normal on unauthorized scanlations and some authors are either giving permission to upload (or in the case of Faked, uploading themselves) their stories to sites like this (to try to get more interest garnered in their work).

No, that is NOT saying this IS the case. Just that there may be a very real and plausible reason for the threat and it may be one that they ARE willing to see through. After all, big projects that had been set to make millions have been cancelled for less solid reasons than that. *cough* FEZ 2 *cough*

All it takes is one perceived insult or small slight (legal or illegal) to cause someone to throw it all away, sometimes. And this, while it may seem small to us, may be (and probably IS) a HUGE deal to the publisher and author.

I think so, too. It could also be, that the publisher and author want to do something with this manga (new edition or official translation) so they want this to be removed. I think it could be that, because they specifically ask for this work to be removed not On or Off. In general I don’t understand why people can’t comply to the authors wishes. If we don’t we might not get any more work from them and that would be very sad.

Wow! I had no idea they didn't make money from their work being posted on an illegal site. That concept is totally new to me. Please sense my sarcasm. You're the one assuming here. The talk is that they are going to stop putting out On and Off in t*ppyt**n where they do make money. It would be fiscally ridiculous for them to stop a successful publication over a completed one.

From what I understood of what was said to the original scanlation team (and they can correct me if I am wrong), I THINK, that they weren't threatening to cancel it on t*ppyt**n, but stopping publication, period. In other words, they are threatening to cancel the entire series.

I don’t know...it seems the author is upset. For us it might not make much sense to stop all their work for this but maybe there is a plausible reason to it that we just don’t know about. The author could be very emotional about something and this could be causing them to just stop their work entirely.

Okay but has anyone here besides the scans team even seen a personal or official statement from the author or publisher? I joined their server since they stopped posting on this site but i have seen neither them show any of their convos with the author/publisher nor anyone ask for proof. It's always what we hear one-sidedly from the scans team and we just assume it's a fact because "they say so". I'm not saying the scans team is lying but if you want to build credibility and make people trust you, at least show us something that's credible.

Didn’t they mention possible legal actions the author and publisher want to take? If so than sharing personal Mails between them wouldn’t be a smart move. I guess they could keep that private because of that.

I don't know anything about laws but i've seen some game critics, comedians, and artists sharing their emails for public viewing when responding to correspondence threatening legal action. It may be different for each case but i doubt it would matter that much if they share that kind of info in their private discord server.

I know nothing about laws but i've seen some gamers, illustrators, and comedians sharing their emails for public viewing when threatened with legal actions. It may be different for each case but i doubt it would matter that much if they shared that kind of info in their private server. But then again, i'm no law expert.

It differs on the cases and the people involved. Generally it is not considered a good idea because it can alert the opposing legal team to the tactics and to possible witnesses and/or evidence that one side is not yet ready to or (in some circumstances), legally obligated to share with the opposing team. Also, in some cases, the judges or those involved will either dictate that nothing is to be made public (but obviously that wouldn't be the case here, since legal action hasn't been taken yet). And then there is also when those involved agree to not release information to the public through non-disclosure agreements. So it varies widely when, where, why, how and what information may be shared and by whom.

Yup you lost me. I'm just gonna wait and see how this shit show will turn out once they finish translating the rest of the manga.

Thanks for saying this !!!!!

Thanks for what? Justifying disrespecting the publisher and old scan team’s wishes? Let’s say these claims are not legitimate. Well, the old scan team still deserves to have their chapters removed because their names are on it, they worked on it, and they don’t want to be held liable. The new uploads have no names on it so the old scan team will face the legal consequences. So, if you want to continue to upload, put your own name on it and don’t use the old scan team as a scapegoat. Also emails are confidential

Let's clarify this. The old scan team did NOT say they wanted their chapters removed. In fact, if they wanted that, they could do so themselves. They stated they did NOT want ANYONE ELSE UPLOADING MORE CHAPTERS. There is a HUGE difference.

Are you dumb? I’m literally in the discord with the original scan team. They have shared their messages with mangago. They removed their old chapters and mangago reuploaded them against their request. Originally they wanted no one to upload past volume 2, but the cat’s already out of the bag and people aren’t going to stop, so now all they’re asking for is for their old chapters to be removed which keeps being reuploaded.

Where are you getting this info from? Are you one of the members on the original scan team because I have literally talked to them. Users can remove their uploads but mangago keeps putting them back up. They posted a notice which got removed and several of my comments have been removed as well.
