Mangago's history?
Hi!! So i got a bit curious about Mangago's history in general and this is what I was able to pick up on with a couple minutes of searching and no checking to see if info was reliable ;3 Please add on if you know more as I'm pretty curious but only discovered mangago in like 2018!!
Mangago presite (www site) - 2008-2010
Mangago site (.me) - 2011
First forum post - April 4, 2011
Site rebooted - 2014
Mangago & Korean manhwa issue - 2021
(For those who weren't around when it happened, there was a time when we couldn't comment and this was because of the author of Blind Play getting mad at the site) (gonna say this now but pls don't attack the authors, don't put this site at risk + dont be a d1ck)
Comments back on - 2023
Present - now
The site has been around for a long time, with trends coming and going as the years go by. For example, in the early days japanese mangas were more popular but now its korean manhwas. You can kinda tell when something was written based on the tropes and artsyle.
This site has been around for years!! If you have any more info to add such as the first account, the first manga/manhua/manhwa uploaded, trends on the site (amongst both webcomics and users), etc etc etc
OR you have any corrections about anything I posted on here, please add on!! Thank youuu <333 (=・ω・=)

Even back when I joined around in 2018-2019, Japanese BL manga was way more popular back then. Thanks to the insane popularity Killing Stalking got, (and albeit it came out in 2016 but still) Korean manhwa got way more recognition and it pretty much jumpstarted the trend and format of manhwa's.

Hi! You should check the waybackmachine of mangago
It’s really surreal seeing all the old manga and comments on the old homepage.

Japanese manga used to absolutely dominate this site, mainly because there weren't many popular Korean BL manhwa until the 'Great Killing Stalking Incident' of 2016. BL in Japan has been popular for a very long time compared to the very new-found popularity in Korea. You can even see how most Japanese BL are in physical form (books, magazines, etc.......
