1000 curses upon the lawyers and executives of Kakao Entertainment. May they never know the light of heaven.

Some brave folks on the manga piracy subreddit are planning on continuing development with a fork so hope may not be lost, but Kakao said they're also going to target downstream forks so we'll see what happens.

These guys folded like wet paper towel. Zero resistance, they just gave up the second some goofy publisher from occupied Korea got mad at them. Currently using a third party addon list.

I don't blame them tbh. The legal system is broken and even someone with a weak claim can bury you in paper and costs that you'll never recover even if you win.

Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
