Oh man. It's the end of an era.
I checked how long I've been on this site, and it turns out that it's been at least 6 years! That's half of my high school years and my whole college career! I probably lost my innocence somewhere, sometime on this site when I decided to start reading mangas that were tagged mature. ANYWAY.
Thank you so much for maintaining the site, Grumpy. Batoto has always, always been my first choice. I don't really know where I'll go from now on. I'll miss this site so much. I have discovered and followed so awesome mangas from the first chapter to their completion on this site. I'm sad that it'll be closing permanently, but I'm glad that you're choosing to take care of yourself better! See you around the internet!
P.S. An anecdote(?): Can you believe that there was this time when the forum people thought that there was this guy who was dead and there was a whole thread about things the people on the forums remembered about him, like some sort of memorial? And then it turned out he wasn't really dead. Haha. I guess that's a testament to the relationships that were built on this site.
