Other. I used to read mangas at mangafox or fanfox as they started calling themselves later. The reader and user features here areso much better. Would love to see a bit more love to the mobile view of the website using the touchstart/end/move events (it's too easy for the site to mistake scrolling as clicking which makes you skip pages)

Based on the assumption that I usually download as much as possible in order to read on the tablet, when I read on the web, I was both using batoto and scanlator readers.

kissmanga then dropout then here

i used to read on mangafox for the longest time and on mobile i am using mangarock 2 read manga

whoa, i thought most if not all people here came from batoto, never thought it reached way more people than that

Used to read on manganelo but it keeps deleting my faved series

I used to read on Mangafox for a long time, then they changed everything.
I then started reading on the scanlator sites, but that wasn't very organized.
I also was reading on Manganelo and Mangrock, but not very happy with these.
I love this reader!

I used to read from mangahere and was really attracted not only to lots of manga there but also the tsukkomi (or whatever they were called) as I can read people’s output in a certain scene and sometimes enjoy them more than the manga itself. Then, after losing my account and as the website became full of ads, I moved to kissmanga and was reading there until I found mangadex approximately nine months ago now? Also if possible, I would like to see this feature to be added in here.

I used the app Mango for a 3-4 years. It pulled its sources from all the aggregators so i didnt have to deal with anyones ads and had every obscure manga i could think of. It had a $5 lifetime membership. After the solo programmer couldn't keep up with updates and servers, i moved to Mangazone in mid 2015. Used that until it started having issues, and found MD a few weeks after it went live. Never looked back.
If MD ever decides to add banner ads or something. Let me be the first to sign up for a lifetime membership.

PS I have been exclusively mobile. MD mobile is better than most apps but I would love and app regardless.

other: mangakakalot and mangapark

stayed away from kissmanga

I swear I voted and replied already... oh well.

Bato.to for me. You know why.
So glad it died now though. The site's infrastructure had been maintained, but not really fixed nor upgraded for years.
Although they had plenty of mods to keep things from catching fire, their site encouraged you to break their rules.
Seriously, in comparison to moderating and locking all the threads, how hard would adding a spoiler button have been?

Youtube..... *facepalm*
I want to laugh this off as a joke, but one of the hidden communities I follow had a problem with people posting their scanlations on youtube....
If your going to steal the scanlation, at least steal it in image form. PDF would be easy, taking the actual images would not be much harder. Spoiler

I don't tend to look at the forums too much, so that explains why I never saw this when it was originally posted.

I was doing the whole IRC thing when I first started reading manga about 16 or 17 years ago (ye gods, has it really been that long now?) and then... something I'm sure came between that and the next, but I can't honestly remember right now. Then there was a long hiatus that I really didn't do any reading until I used mainly madokami and a bit of bato.to to fill in gaps if necessary. Then I remember reading a comment on one chapter release's credits page talking about how bato.to was closing and they were moving to here, so I decided to give it a look and have been here since.

Used Kissanime, then ads... then Bato.to, then it closed. Then Mangarock, I use it still but instead to read series not found here anymore. And then I found MD

used to read on MangaFox Mobile then Batoto xD

later switched to MangaDex :)

needless to say adblock online (ublock origin)

I am ashamed to say but for years I used KissManga and Mangakakalot side by side for years before discovering MangaDex by chance. I actually started out reading Mangas on some sister site of some anime site but I can't quite remember the name. Doesn't matter any longer anyways since this very site was very short-lived and only existed for at most half a year. I had in fact also looked into Batoto when I saw it mentioned in scanlator notes but for some reason I was unable to open the chapters there so that I had to stick with the aggregators for better or for worse.

the old batoto, i miss that place....

At first I tracked the manga I liked with Baka-updates and downloaded them either from the scanlator sites or from mangatraders and read them offline. I still download from time to time, mostly from madokami or the scanlator sites. When I started reading online I mostly used Mangafox, which was tolerable at the time, and more rarely other readers like Otakuworks (now extinct) and the Mangatraders online reader for the short time it functioned. Then came Batoto and I started reading most of my manga there, whatever I couldn't find on Batoto I read either on the scanlator sites or on Mangafox although the latter was becoming increasingly annoying with all the ads. When the announcement of Batoto's demise came out I was devastated because by then Mangafox had become pretty much impossible to use and most of the other existing readers seemed just as crappy. So when Mangadex got started I was on board immediately and so far I wasn't disappointed. These days I read mostly here, the only other reader I'm using is Mangago which isn't completely ad-free and is less mobile-friendly but at least doesn't have porn or malware. I mostly use it to read series that aren't hosted on Mangadex. I also read on scanlators' sites or download on occasion but that's not very often.

Bato.to
(then it shut down)
Switched to KissManga because I heard it was good
(then they started running virus ads and anti-Adblock)
Googled a few alternatives and settled on MangaRock
(was a decent site, but bad quality on some uploads and missing chapters)
Started looking for a better site than MangaRock and eventually found MangaDex
(haven't read on another site since)
😍

Read on Mangachan (Russian website), then on mangakakalot (that's where I started reading manga in English). A couple of months since then I found MangaDex.
