Please Read!!! We Need Help!!
Hello everyone!! Recently a lot of my loyal readers told me that my and my team’s work/translation was stolen and our works are everywhere on the thieves’ websites. My team and I feel extremely upset, stressed, depressed and we even lost our interest, passion, and motivation to translate. What makes us more upset, stressed, depressed, we found some readers even supporting those thieves’ websites by reading our works/translation on their websites. Did you all know, by reading our works/translation on the thieves’ website, you are funding them? Life is really not fair. The thieves’ websites are getting more traffic and generating more income without any hard work and we, as the scanlators, have to work 7 days per week and work more than 12 hours per day but we’re getting nothing. What disgusted us is the thieves’ website even put their watermark on our work/translation. We have reported to Google DMCA but seem no action taken. We are lost now. We wish to continue but now we have a lot of difficulties continuing translation. If anyone of you has good suggestions on what should we do against those thieves, please leave a comment to tell us.
Another problem we are facing now is our biggest network ad, GA is punishing our website since 6 months ago by setting a ‘visit site’ button on the ads on our website. Because of the penalty by GA, they’ve limited the ads on our website and our earnings dropped a lot by 90%. The reason GA is punishing us is that there are many accidentally clicks on the ads on our website.
We have tried to work with other network ads but their revenue is not as good as GA. For the past 6 months, Manga SY is using her own pocket money to run the website by paying hosting fees, purchasing raw chapters, translators fees, and maintenance fees.
We know a lot of readers are complaining about too many ads on our website, but we really have no other choice. The hosting and maintenance fee in our country is really expensive. We know some readers even use adblocker to block the ads and there are even some selfish and mean readers that curse our website is a garbage website by placing so many ads. The harsh words really make us so upset. Why should we have to listen to so many harsh words after we sacrifice our time to translate free manhua to everyone?
To be honest, now we are only can maintain our website for another 3 months that is until April 15, 2022. If GA keeps punishing us by limiting the ads and setting the ‘visit site’ button’ on our website, we have to say ‘bye bye’ to every reader and we’ll close down our website.
So, we need every reader to help and co-operate with us. Please don’t keep repeating clicking the ads. Just click if you are interested. For those sticker ads or top and bottom ads, please click the (x) carefully to close it, and please don’t accidentally click on other ads. If you accidentally click on the ads, don’t panic, wait for a few seconds about 15-20 seconds, and then click to go back to our website. This will help us a lot. Please turn off your adblocker or whitelist our website to support us.
Some readers even suggested we collect donations monthly or lock our chapter. We don’t wish to lock our chapter because we want every reader to read for free. We feel ashamed to ask for donations from readers as we know everyone is having a hard time during pandemic times. But if anyone feels to support us by monthly donations or one-time donations, please click on the ‘donation’ button to support us. Or if anyone has any suggestions, please leave a comment to tell us. Thank you.

I will try to comment to read on Mangasy for more next time if I find ur comics elsewhere. What you can do is add watermark to you chapter and dialogues they can’t remove then even if they steal ur works ur watermark will prove where to read.

Hello Team Mangasy,
We support and love your work mangasy..
Actually I saws some of your manhuas translate on other website.. but I did not see if it’s your work, because i know that I already read on your site and you site is on a latest chapter, so I did not bother to open it.

Thank you so much and please stay with us.. ❤️?

Hello, i like your translation very much and i didn’t click or bothered about the ads. I think its alright and didn’t disturb me from reading your translation. I don’t know about other website that stole your translation because I only read it in your website or it’s just because how lazy I am to search other website. I will always support you guys and stay strong whatever happen. Keep healthy too and wish you all the best. Fighting!!!

@Mangasy i love reading at your website never really seen any ads though don’t know if this might help but adding watermarks could help attract more people to your website cuz thats how I found you ,a DMCA or try copyscape its a free plagiarism checker to see who has duplicated your work

I just want to encourage you to keep on translating. One of the things I like about your website is that you pick stuff that is not normally on other websites. And some of your translations I have seen on other websites are still behind what you normally translate. Furthermore, your translations are really top notch and easy to read.

Hello Manga Sy I’m sorry about those websites that only copy your hard work. I was reading one manhua (Spur of the moment marriage) on other website until I saw you water mark of Manhua Sy since the moment I saw it I went there and I star reading there and I only read hear since in cooperation with the English translation of your work and the anther your are the best, so please be encourage I know how is doing this kind of job since I used to work with group doing typesetting, is a lot of work and on top of that there a thing call life witch sometime thing happen an take you time. I really appreciate your hard work.

Hello Mangasy,
I know how devastating it is when we know that our works have been hijacked. However, pirates are everywhere. There are always people who don’t want to do anything but would like to profit. Thus, they steal the works from others. Some of them put the source of the manga they have stolen. Some of them delete the origin of the manga. Funny, isn’t it?.
You can remind them not to steal your work and ask your reader to read it from your website. That is all you can do. Other than that, I don’t think you have other options. If you keep raising these issues, it will be contra-productive to you. Why? Because many websites provide translated manga, their works are also being stolen. However, they do not often become fussy about these issues—for example, timelessleaf.com.
I’m not particularly eager to read from a website that publishes others’ work. I always read manga from the original website that has done the translation. I think it is the way to appreciate their works (translating, cleaning, etc.). But, not everyone has the same opinion as mine.
It is a pity if you can’t continue providing mange lovers with the translated mangas. However, you know better than anyone else which one is profitable. I hope that you will have benefits from translating the mangas.
Thank you for your hard work so far.
Kind regards,
Lizi (Pseudo name )
Manga SY
@ Lizi, we are not being fussy to keep raising this issue. It’s been a long time since we didn’t raise up this issue. What’s make us angry, these thieves’ websites are too much by placing their watermark on our work and claim as their work. Please try to put your shoe on our situation. We’re lost and really don’t know what to do. But we really appreciated your suggestion. And we hope every reader will be like you, only reading on the original scanlators’ websites to support our and other scanlators’ hard work.

I enjoy your site so much.
Your site is the only thing that helps me survive during these trying times.
I found out that I have cancer, I am doing well right now and the cancer is at being held back through meds.
I just wanted to let you know I really don’t comment a lot and I will try in the future to do so.
Thank you all so much for the wonderful job all are doing❤️
Manga SY
@ Lunar50, how are you? Wish you get well soon. We’re glad that our translated manhua brings a lot of fun and happiness to everyone.

not gonna lie ur website has the best manhwa i like . srry for what has happened i have no better o what to say all i will say is karma will fall on the thevies

@MangaSy I’m sorry this is still a problem. I read different series on other sites and if I see a watermark or header pointing to another site, I stop reading from the site that has taken that work. I suggest watermarking more but honestly that won’t stop other sites from stealing.
For revenue, you could keep ads on all series, but offer subscription or paid based options. Have some free series available, but lock down the rest under subscription or paid. For example, if readers want to pay for early access by episode, they can read it as your team updates it. If they can’t or don’t want to pay, they can wait a few weeks to read it for free and you will still receive the ad revenue at that time. Also, when you introduce a new series, allow the first few episodes to be unlocked for everyone to check reader interest and then lock it down for subscription or pay. For a subscription you could have people pay for unlimited reading with a monthly, quarterly or annual fee.

Just to add, I would pay a fee to support your site because what you do is a lot of work and web management isn’t cheap. ❤️
Mrivai
Not all ppl can pay for that and i rly appreciate mangasy trying to give chapters for free it’s really thoughtful of them
widney
Please don’t stop . I only read in mangasy . So don’t give up ???
Mrivai
Mangasy u guys are the best idk how can ppl curse u guys like that there are many ppl who can not purchase the episodes not only cuz they can’t afford but also due to other factors. I can’t di anything of the bad ppl who supporting theif websites and if i would be those websites i would be ashamed of someone’s hardwork. I really enjoy reading u guys translate ik it must be difficult running the website without too much funding but pls try to continue cuz their are still your loyal readers who want u to continue. We love seeing your translations try not to think about those mean ppl who say bad things bout u guys after reading your translations for free their will always be mean ppl so pls don’t feel upset cuz all your loyal readers love u and we will try to support u the best way we can. Love u mangasy

pichan
I don’t think my suggestion could help. But i’ll try. Put your manga in youtube per chapter is like a slide show and water marks of your website. And create a social media that will attract more people who’s interested in reading like this. That’s all. I hope you guys stay strong! I know it’s so hard for you guys but i hope you keep on fighting but if one day that you need to shut down we will understand because we know as your loyal fans and supporters you give your very best! And you didn’t fail to give us a satisfaction and happiness thankyou so much mangasy. We loveyou ❤️

Hi, from which country you are running the website, and how much is the monthly cost? In GBP if possible, thx
macc1
I only read your stuff not every site has what you have. and yes I saw your page on 1stmanga and it made me angry that’s your page, sometime some websites will translate the same manga, And do their own translations, but this page is all you it’s the page that says support you but 1stmanga stole it and put their name on it. I support your stuff always. You’re very selective you try to get manga that is only on your page.
