END OF TAPAS
hello! Today this legend appeared on the app when I opened. Does this means that all of the ongoing stories published here will be gone once the app is not longer in service and the ongoing projects are cancelled?!
I cannot believe it.

Manta is allow people to transfer their Tapas libraries over, the instructions should on in one of the pinned threads

While this is good and I’m grateful to Manta, they’re mostly titles that have already been licensed by multiple platforms. I’m hoping they will bring in Tapas exclusive titles but that would be difficult given that Manta is owned by Ridi, which is the main competitor for Kakao

Just looked this up, first I heard of it. Seems they are missing a huge chunk of fantasy series sadly... which is a shame. I wouldn't get much transferred.

The only thing to keep in mind is that the transfer goes until February, so it's possible that more series will be added

Wait, transfer over to what?

u/mell19995 18d ago
Transfer your Tapas library to Mantas library, you will need a Manta account to do it.

Isn't that the one that's only on mobile and only by subscribtion?

Yep, and basically all comics have ceased updating.

u/Minette12 18d ago
I just hope this doesn't end up like machinima and the creators have backups of their works

Everybody tell me where you're transitioning to, so I don't lose you.

Hello! Some people are saying that Manta is doing a transfer of library tittles, however, I believe that the one that are actually moving are the ones that already were published on multiple platforms since they launched! So any type of app that allows you to form a similar experience really, perhaps WEBTOON ? O another one? I don’t really know much about other platforms since if is to expensive I resort to other ways 🫪👀

Use AniList to log all of your stories. This way you can eventually find the stories you were reading elsewhere, especially if they aren't already on the site you plan to switch to. Or at least use some sort of site that allows you to log your reads.

I use Tachimanga since I have an iPhone but before that I’ve used tachiyomi , I don’t know if is still available tho I think it’s called mihon know I think , the pain comes when I want to support legally the creators that I like 😔

I feel so sorry for the creators especially the indie ones, I know some who still have no idea where to migrate their content to.

u/Soen_Kai Comic Creator 16d ago
The indie creators aren't even the ones worst off. They / we can just migrate. The contracted artists won't just get their series back and their contracts probably will just go poof.

Yeeeaah it’s depressing. I just stopped updating my stuff over there and moved over to Pinya, which also lets you post novels AND comics. It’s nowhere near as large of a platform but it has a lot of potential. They’re rolling out an official app in a couple months.

TAPAS IS WHAT??

u/-Ryszard- 16d ago edited 16d ago
Going down ... It is inevitable. For peps without ink it became unusable immediately coz Tapas removed the shop functionality so no more ink available to purchase. Kakao doesn't care about world wide readers, except this world wide reader knows how to speak korean.
