[Update: To clarify, we are not removing all the mature content forever. We are simply removing them until we have time to manually check the content of the series. As series get cleared, we will add them back.]
We are currently doing a sweep of all mature series on the site to look for and remove images that are deemed pornographic.
During this time, all mature series will be unavailable for viewing. We will post an update here once the sweep has been completed. Some series will be coming back. Others will not. Hopefully the final outcome will not be too bad.
We are sorry for the inconvenience during this time, but do understand that in the USA, there is very low tolerance for pornographic content on sites like OneManga that attract a sizable crowd of younger readers. If we do not do a sweep like this, OneManga may be closed forever.
Thanks for your support and understanding.

Mangafox did the same, seems this was all caused by some blog article.
Oh well, I'm only partially sad for Zetman and Cage of Eden since both update once in a blue moon. I already have a backup site so it's not a great loss.
Only con is I won't be able to browse said site from my mobile phone, but oh wells.

Someone better start up a website -not- for younger people and have only the types of mangas that get removed D:
I don't have much purpose on one manga anymore since mangastream gets one piece and fairy tail out faster. Only thing I may still check there is Reborn, and random mangas people link me to that don't suck.

Aww, I'll miss my porno >:
jk, jk
On a more serious note, I think it's pretty stupid to do this just for the sake of those little kids who can't read the <<MATURE>> [COLOR=Black]sign.
I honestly don't mind them doing this sweep, I usually just check in once in a while for Bleach or FMA. That's just my opinion :^

Oh well, I'm not really affected.
The only Mature manga I read were Seikirei and Deadman Wonderland :|
A lot of not-so-mature manga will probably be cut though :[
Most of the mature manga deals with gore and chest flashes, nothing further than that.
It'd be nice if the mature label wasn't one label applied to anything that fit in the category.
Ex. <Mature Gore/Violence>, <Mature Borderline Porn>

Pi pikachu. Pika pi pika.
What a waste, I'd have thought the freaking huge "Mature" sign would get it through kids heads not to read. Meh, they COULD do something good though like make it so that once they complete their beta thing, accounts have to establish themselves as 18+ to read mature manga.

Let's be honest here, how would that help? Any -18yo can just register a 18+ account and bam, age filter is cheated.

Legally that's not the website's problem anymore. Clear notice, a TOS agreed upon when registering, and it's the parent's fault, not the sites.
Hormone filled teenagers sign up on porn sites every day, but those sites don't get shut down. The kids get owned by mommy when she finds the history in the browser.

Well, if someone really wanted to cover their tracks, it's really not that hard. (I won't say how, but I know how it can be done)

I wouldn't mind making account's with 18+ age to read mature manga's, but a complete M rated series Massacre? And some series who has no Mature sign we're cut too, like Kure-nai.

I only read manga online if it's a good one that hasn't been serialized in the US (and in most cases show no plans of serialization in the US). I generally tend to buy the mangas I really like and borrow the rest from our library.

I buy only the one's that I can't find in onemanga, though somehow, it always end's up on that site later...
