Important Notice
First of all, I'd like to thank you all for being part of the Comick community and for supporting this project over the years. After much thought, I’ve made the difficult decision to bring this site to a close.
Although the site is no longer online, I want to reassure you that your personal manga/comic lists remain safe. I am currently preparing a dedicated page where you’ll be able to access and export your lists. Once it’s ready, I’ll share the link here.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who visited, contributed, and shared in this journey with me. Running this platform has been an incredible experience, and I truly appreciate the time you’ve spent here.
Thank you again for your support and understanding.
Not a word on the why?
Sounds like/guess is dcma from kako
Is that a Japanese org like RIAA or MPAA?
Korean anti piracy org.
They're a publisher (Manga, Manhwa, games, etc) in Korea that formed an anti-piracy coalition with a bunch of Asian publishers
Maybe they could also improve quality, while they're at it. I'm not hating, I also read manhwas, but a lot of them are... yeesh.
Do they publish anything though? Only seen them used to do take downs or scare messages
Quite a lot. Those DMCAed titles from Kakao are all from them (originally published on their platform in Korea) so yeah they're quite big. And they do all sorts of other biz like KakaoTalk (de facto messaging service in Korea) and even a fucking bank.
A comics company cornering the instant messaging space of all things is surprising.
The reverse situation would be like WhatsApp being a comic publishing company.
Your "reverse situation" is exactly what happened to Kakao. Started as small messenger, expanding into other businesses as such.
Makes sense.
