Bentomanga site inaccessible, erreur 521 [GROUPED TOPIC]
Chikimaro -
Hello,
Does anyone know and could tell me what is happening with bentomanga? Since April 26, 2024, I haven't been able to access the site. It says that there is a "Host Error" message directly from the site.
Thank you for your replies.

Hello.
The connection to the servers of this site is down; it generates error 521, you can't do anything about it; you'll have to wait.
For your information:
manga scan sites have been under scrutiny from authorities for several years for copyright infringement, see this page.
Also see this page showing that the subscription to the OVH servers allowing the site to be online expired on 29/04/2024.

It announces only good things; I think we need to start facing the harsh reality (but I'm not an expert, I retrieved this from the meanders of Facebook). Anyway, whether it closes or just for a few days, it's still a lack of respect for us readers because we received no information about a future site outage on the site itself to allow us to prepare, nor any information afterward. And a small thought for the authors who, like us, some had just released a chapter for nothing, and especially big thoughts for the people who had just made a donation when it closed. It's no surprise if afterward, no one does it anymore on this kind of site.

All we see are assumptions and comments that are not backed by any tangible evidence or official link that can prove the claims, one must always verify for oneself and not believe everything that is said or written.
In any case, manga scan sites are under scrutiny by the authorities for copyright infringement.
Contrary to what one can read on the Facebook page, I support my claims https://www.francetvinfo.fr/culture/bd/mangas/mangas-actions-en-justice .
Best wishes on CCM.
I came across this on the site

It really stinks. It's unlikely that we will find the site again... Yet I really liked it a lot. After so many years on it...
As I mentioned in my message 23, manga scan sites have been under scrutiny by the authorities for several years for copyright infringement.

In the end, it will end the same way as for download sites; they will fight it for a while, they will see that they cannot win because for every head cut off, three will grow back, and they will look for something else to make disappear. Meanwhile, the scan sites will be reborn, more powerful from their ashes, and only the most well-known works will be monitored.
Hello
Uh no, it's the rights holders who file lawsuits, and even if it takes a long time each time, they make a lot of money. It's the biggest companies that line their pockets, it's them, the rights holders, who sue. They actually don't mind everyone downloading, in fact it suits them.
It's just a business with lawsuits.
There's no denying it, we're screwed for at least a year, guys. I get up to pray every day thinking about all the scans that are left on my to-read list????????????
Good news guys, for those who don't have the Crunchyscan Discord, they've completely revamped it for the past week and it's evolving in a good way; it might be the real replacement, here's the promise:
As you can see, the site is now in maintenance mode for 1 to 2 weeks (normally). Our team is working hard to create the best scanning website possible. What's going to change?
- New interface
- Upload system for teams
- Reduction of bot checks on unlicensed chapters
- Advanced profile and favorites system (which is the most interesting)
- And plenty of other features that you will discover in the coming days...
Here is an image that has been provided for now and frankly it seems to look good. The maintenance should end around June 4, however, there is a chance that your favorites and comments will be deleted (I’m sad, I had left a lot of comments).
I agree there is a lot of bl, but from what I understand everything they publish on bentomanga will be republished on their 'new' site, the old site no longer exists, so let's just hope we find all our ongoing reads.
Not necessarily everything but a large part, it will all depend on the different translation teams working on the project, we can only hope that it will be quick because I remember the same promise with Wakanim and Crunchyroll and it took ages to recover everything.
Moreover, I think we are far from Bentomanga; we are much closer to all the other sites of the kind like Crunchyscan. The magic of Bentomanga was its different interface, its very clear notifications and especially its unlimited favorites that could be sorted into categories, and the new site has none of that.
False, this site has nothing to do with Bentomanga, it has been in existence since February 5, 2024 see this page.
I've had this problem too; just change the site. If you're looking for BL mangas, go to epsilonscan, then go to the menu and click on ????.
They have renamed their site, there are more choices, it's more aesthetically pleasing, here is the link http://inovascanmanga.com/
Hi, I don't know if this can help, but bentomanga's Facebook doesn't exist anymore either... I'm so, so sad ???? ????
It had already closed long before that, so it has no direct relation, but at least if it were still open, we could have had a word from the guys managing the site to inform us, because no Discord, no X (TWITTER), no more Facebook, nothing on Reddit, we can't really say they're trying to keep in touch with their users.
I totally understand, I also have started mangas and other things on it and it’s annoying. I know that last year it was the same for manga origins for a while and then it came back. But it can take time.
https://scansmangas.me, https://www.vfscan.cc, https://manga-scantrad.io, https://sushiscan.fr/manga/, https://crunchyscan.fr you have plenty of options, but none are as good as bentomanga in terms of simplicity, reading comfort, and the watchlist (most are limited to 100 works maximum, then they delete the oldest ones for the more recent ones) and some sites don’t even have the decency to let you create an account like https://www.japscan.lol. Among those I mentioned, the "best" in my opinion are crunchyscan (the site isn't great but it offers a good catalog including licensed works from Webtoon and picomanga, but they have a annoying tendency to leave works with only 2 or 3 chapters left) and manga scantrad which has the most user-friendly site. But that's just my opinion.
I'm sad that it's closed for the moment, I discovered the site when it was called japanread, I have more than 50 works in progress. I started reading on it about 7 or 8 years ago. Now I'm struggling to find a site as well-designed as this one and especially with a good search engine!!!
The site was really great, the search engine was super effective, we could specify what we were interested in but also the genres we didn't want to have. For example: I'm looking for romance but I can exclude all the yaoi and yuri (which are genres that don't interest me)
For the moment I haven't found anywhere this kind of search engine... I'm still looking anyway...
