In Topic: Batoto will be closing permanently

08 January 2018 - 02:51 PM

Just throwing my voice in amongst the hundreds already. I've been using this site for maybe 5-6 years and in the aftermath of Onemanga.com going down this has been the only other Manga reading platform I've ever put this much time into. Even after reading this announcement I found myself reflexively opening up Batoto when I opened a new browser on my computer or my phone, it's that much of a habit for me to come here and just skim the new releases. 

 

Thank you Grumpy and Co. I know running these types of ventures isn't easy and while I wish there was an easier transition in place, as the uncertainty of when and where the backups of all the series here will resurface. You all have been a major part of my manga reading hobby for the better part of the last decade of my life as I've greatly expanded the types of manga I read and the stories I consume from my younger, Shonen Jump exclusive years. I will honestly miss some of the community here for as little as I've interacted with them since accounts became mandatory. Specifically the Alice in Borderlands/Border Road comment sections as it's one of the only times I've ever interacted with other people online while reading a manga. I have discovered a lot of good series through this platform; Stories to entertain, stories to ponder on, stories to get emotionally invested in, and stories that are just a trashy good time.

 

Thank you all again and I wish you all the best going into the future.
