OneManga Removes All Content
“Originally Posted by Zabi on the main site
It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it. We have decided to abide by their wishes, and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site. The removal of content will happen gradually (so you can at least finish some of the outstanding reading you have), but we expect all content to be gone by early next week (RIP OM July ‘10).”

The film, which follows the deadliest car race in the world, will open in Japan on October 9 after advance screenings at international film festivals.
Koike (The Animatrix’s “World Record”) is collaborating with writer Katsuhito Ishii (Piroppo, Trava) on this project. Leading the cast are SMAP’s Takuya Kimura (Howl’s Moving Castle, live-action Space Battleship Yamato), Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer, Tokyo Zombie), and Yuu Aoi (Honey and Clover, Tekkonkinkreet).
