OneManga suspends Inuyasha manga

[luxken27]

???

Anybody have any idea why OneManga has suspended the IY manga scans from their website? Or when it happened, for that matter?

adinuyasha has scans from chapter 449 on, but the other sites I checked are also suspiciously lacking of this title. Hmm...this does not bode well for bannering purposes.

ETA: I guess I hit them up right when they yanked everything, because now they do have a message in place (whereas before, there was only an error page):

Viz asked the major online manga sites to pull it.

Notice: Because Viz has requested that we remove Inuyasha from our site, all chapters have been removed until further notice. We're trying to see if we can put it back up, but for now no Inuyasha

That's what it says here.

If you don't mind downloading whole volumes for everything before 449, check out http://www.freelance-manga.com. They have the entire manga series available there: volumes 1-46 downloadable altogether, and everything after 449 available online.

Freelance actually has much, much better quality scans than adinuyasha, and also started when EarTweak stopped scanlating. Starks really did an amazing job cleaning the panels. The only downside is that most of the online stuff is on Photobucket, so navigation isn't as easy.

I was about to start cussing up a storm (THAT'S MY CID RESOURCE, DAMNIT) but now I see there are downloads I can has.
WHEW.

Posting them has always been in violation of the copyright laws. YTV regularly pulls down IY videos from YouTube. Fanfiction has always been a gray area since we are using copyrighted property without permission or compensation. I assume it is because we are not worth the time or expense. Those who ask that their works not be used for fanfiction are not allowed on ffnet. I have always wondered about the artists since they are actually selling copyrighted characters on their sites.

It's been within the last couple of days. I was looking something up on it either Sunday or Monday, and then last night it was gone with the notice about VIZ.

I think VIZ is making a mistake. I bought the manga because I could read it first on line. I'd have never bought it blind. Not only that, I've never even unwrapped a bunch of my volumes because I can't stand the flipped pages. I'm used to reading right to left when it comes to manga now.

lux, I've got the entire series downloaded (vol 1-56). If you would like them, let me know. I'll gladly get them to you.

Just to throw in my two cents, this website has free downloads of the entire Inuyasha manga plus any other manga you care to think of ^^ Other media such as music, wallpaper, e-books and comics are also available for free.

www.thespectrum.net also has Inuyasha manga scans.

I have a lot of the manga pages copied into files (mainly the Sesshoumaru parts). If you're aching for a scene for a banner, let me know and I might I have it my extensive Sesshoumaru archive.

They also suspended Urusei Yatsura, RT's first manga series at VIZ's request.
