Hi everyone, since I've noticed that you all seem pretty aware about mangas in general, I would like to ask you where can I find some espisodes to read or to watch? I don't have TV anymore and I would like to find mangas on the web. I don't care if I have to pay to access to the website and I'm looking for any king of mangas.
Hope I'll get some answers i'm really addicted to it , thank you all.

I've seen you post this question on a couple of other forums, and you probably already know this is a bit of a grey area in terms of whether or not it's illegal. There are a couple of proper site, but they're mainly based in America so no idea if we can use them or not.

DrMaster (formally known as ComicsOne) have manga:

ADV's own anime:

Funimation have plans, but don't know much about it, so here's a news report on it:

Any sites which are free or ask for donations are almost definitely illegal. That doesn't stop a lot of people though... (waaay too many Naruto fans out that for example, and you can bet half of them don't even know the DVD's are out in this contry)

Have a bit of a dig around on the last two companies and get on their mailing lists. They often send out links for access to the first episodes for free (only the first episode as a promotion to get you into the rest of the series).

I've never done any of this myself so know idea how it works. Good luck with it though!

Hi all and first of all thanks Toraman for your reply! Smile

I've found what I needed:
www.gonganime.com

Gong is a legal website which will propose free animations of mangas series.

Their objective is to share its passion with all manga and anime fans. The website is still en Bêta version but will soon be released in its final version, so be ready!!!

Here's a link to videos they already broadcasted over the web.
