OpenManga: the new online 'official' scanlations platform


The 'Crunchyroll effect' has entered the world of scanlations as MangaHelpers, one of the largest distribution sites of manga scans and scanlations, has announced its decision to close due to pressure from Japanese and U.S. publishers.

In its place will rise OpenManga, a new platform that will allow manga creators to distribute their work digitally, which will also allow them to sell related merchandise and accept donations.

The new system will also allow users to translate and adapt the manga of their interest in a legal way. The site, http://openmanga.org , is now online, anticipating its launch.
