"Manga Gohan" is a free manga reading service. However, even though it is free to read, there are various risks involved in just using the service. In this issue, we will introduce the truth behind the rumor of Mangagohan's closure and some precautions to take when using the service.
What is the truth behind the rumor that MangaGohan is closing?
MangaGohan uploads manga works illegally. There are rumors on the Internet that MangaGohan has been closed. We have investigated the truth and will introduce it here.
Site cannot be opened as of October 2022
This article was written in mid-July 2022. At that point, the Manga Gohan site will no longer be open. After much research, we found that mangagohan (Mangagohan) has been continuously inaccessible since around April 2022.
Although we have no definitive information, it is highly likely that mangagohan (Mangagohan) has been closed.
Mangagohan does not appear in Google searches
A Google search for Mangagohan does not return any hits. It is expected that the site itself has closed down and is no longer a hit on Google.
There are rumors that the site has already been moved to a successor site.
Many of the sites where pirated manga are uploaded, including Manga Gohan, are frequently closed or migrated. Since the sites themselves are illegal, it is only natural that they are closed due to opinions from publishers and others.
However, there are also many cases where the site itself is migrated and operated under a different name or URL even after being closed. mangagohan is also rumored to have been migrated, but the results of our investigation were only rumors.
Since it is an illegal site to begin with, we cannot complain if it is closed down....
Looking at social networking sites, we can see some users complaining about mangagohan's closure. However, since it is an illegal site and users know that it is illegal, they cannot complain.
Rather, manga is a content that you have to pay to read. Currently, there are apps that allow users to read manga for free, but mangagohan is another site where manga is uploaded illegally, so it is basically unusable.
It is said to be the successor site to Mangraw, but it has nothing to do with it!
There are rumors that mangagohan (manga rice) is the successor site to the previously operated pirate manga site Mangraw. However, after much research, it appears that they are not related.
As we will discuss later, there are indeed many sites where manga are illegally uploaded. However, as with any site, there are risks involved in using them.

Pirate sites (1) Manga BANK
Manga BANK is a pirate site with more than 3,000 illegally uploaded manga titles. As mentioned above, the operator of this site has received an administrative sanction, and its closure is confirmed for November 2021.
Given the administrative action taken against the operator, it is unlikely that Manga BANK will be revived.
Piracy site (2) Manga ZIP
