Welp, it's an end of an era for manga pirates.

Looks like Jaiminisbox is dropping all their WSJ (Weekly Shounen Jump) titles.

https://jaiminisbox.com/blog/2019/12/19/a-new-era/

tl;dr Here's the titles they're dropping

- Black Clover
- We Can't Study
- My Hero Academia
- One Piece
- The Promised Neverland
- Jujutsu Kaisen
- Samurai 8
- Dr. Stone
- Dr. Stone Reboot

Now that both jaiminisbox and mangastream dropped those titles, the only way for anyone to read those is by going directly to the Mangaplus app/site which is run directly by WSJ themselves.

On one hand, it's nice that we can finally read and support manga directly and officially from the publisher and thus contribute more to the mangakas themselves.

On the other, the mangaplus app/site is still in it's growing pains and some of the translations are often directly translated and stunted with no effort to localize for western readers, or even censored in some cases.

On the third tentacle, mangaplus is free to read, so that's nice. Though I'm always dreading the inevitable paywall dropping sometime in the future because it always does.

So yeah, thoughts?
