Woahhhh!.

 

Well, it's understandable.

 

It's just sad, really sad. Honestly, i don't think i ever feel like this when a site closed, but this just real.

 

Anyway, best of luck to you guys!.

[Luras]

I´m really sad, but thank you and goodbye

Aw man... Thanks for everything, this site was the best.

I relied heavily on Batoto to keep track of multiple manga, to know when they get updated and all, now I supposed I'll have to stop reading manga, since series that weren't on here, I often forget they exist and by the time I remember, there's like 20 new chapters and I don't even remember anything of it.

Is there even another sites that offers similar functionality of Batoto? If not, we can only hope that it will be reborn, kind of like how Nyaa.se was reborn into Nyaa.si.

Wow. I must say I did not expect this, even though if I tought about it I would know it would eventually come. Batoto has been a huge part of my life ever since it was created. For the last 7 years the first tab on my browser was always reserved for batoto. I am sad, but I am happy that at least you will get your well earned rest.

 

As always, in life everything changes, nothing is everlasting, we will hopefully adapt.

 

Now I will go cry in the corner. (Btw is it weird that I actually cried for this site but didn't cry when a relative died?)

Thank you so much, may your path forward be even better.

Thanks for everything that we experienced in this site and believe us when we say we love this site and it will forever be a large part of our lives.

 

I hope there is someone who will carry the torch so us moths will fly there from now on.

[swagner]

Dang, that's a drag. I really don't know of any better sites for manga.

Making witty comments passed a lot of time for me, a shame to see this site go.

Seeing my 17k likes disappear will be a bummer, but if the site is causing such a burden then I suppose its for the best.

Gonna take a while to bookmark my 500+ manga follows elsewhere

[supershiu]

welp, this is my first, and probably only post on this site, but thanks for everything in the last couple years that i have used this site, and i hope u have a nice one from now on. 

[Delovan]

Thank you for your hard work and good luck on your future endeavors but damn i'm gonna miss this site and its organization i hope someone creates a similar to this one to continue the work the staff put into even if i lose all my lists

[DemonHide]

You busted your ass giving good folk a place to go. Get some well-deserved sleep, bud.

[Bakuwoman]

I've been a member for a VERY long time - and just want to say thanks for all the hard work. Being on call for a week already feels shitty for me - to have that feeling for 7 years... as you are saying definitely give yourself a break/vacation. By page 25 I'm not sure which mods that are backing up the data will read this, but if you need some DB help (if you are going to try and make another version of the site) please PM me. Not sure how much my skillset will help depending on the tech being used, but if there's anything I can do so that all of this data can be brought back I want to assist.

[masher14]

Well. You've made some good points. It's not entirely unreasonable that you're doing this, and at least you told us. You're allowing other people to take up the reins, and that's the best we can ask for in this situation. Good luck doing whatever it is you're doing after this.

[GhostShogun]

If Batoto closes then manga is dead. There is no replacement for this website. Many groups depend on Batoto to host the manga they translate. Batoto's nearest equivalent, mangaupdates.com removed their links to translation groups. Mangaupdates doesn't host anything either. This website is how people find those groups websites. That is if they even have websites. Also Batoto is the only way to find good quality old releases. This means that if this website goes down then it takes the manga community with it.

[Friasco]

Site going down on my bday. 

 

Thanks for all your hard work over the years. Enjoy your well deserved rest.

Been around batoto for more than 6 years, this is a very sad news indeed...

 

Thank you for everything and good luck!
