To put in simple terms, up until now there were almost no eromanga | To put in simple terms, up until now there were almost no eromanga that got translated into English (or other languages). This is the main, constant issue as with all other "pirated" Japanese media, hentai or not. Works are never translated, fans (had to) take up the mantle and translate it themselves, creating a market. That's where E-Hentai (called "sadpanda" by anons over /a/) comes, i.e a website that hosts thousands - if not millions - of user-uploaded eromanga, translated or not; ranging from quick-read-quick-fap doujins, up to full-sized tankoubon. What do you want to read and fap to, chances are they already been uploaded to Sad Panda gallery. | ||
That is the | That is the thing, until Fakku recently acquired rights to translations from a Japanese eromanga publisher, Wanimagazine. Wanimagazine has targetted Sad Panda, with takedown notices and are forcing them to delete fan-translated eromanga from artists that Wanimagazine publishers for, and possibly even eromanga to which they do not have rights to i.e only created by artists who work under Wanimagazine, but not published by Wanimagazine itself. Along with this frustration, large portions of the Community that contributes to and reads eromanga on E-hentai are furious that 'Sadpanda' is even being told to delete eromanga with questionable copyright claims, or face having to be involved in legal action. | ||

What really pisses /a/ off is that: for those who don't know, Fakku also originally started as a site that 'illegally' hosted fan translated eromanga and only recently (around 2014) decided to become 'legal', buying the rights to some of those translations. Now they are basically using their allies in Japan to get a competitive advantage in the English-speaking community by also targeting series they "might like to buy" even though they do not own the rights to them. | ||

Not to mention Sad Panda already started to delete few of the gallery file, albeit not so many before Fakku debacle happened. | ||
