I finally sent the devs an email because I don’t have a single manga/manhwa restored in my lists even after both passes, and I wanted to clarify my situation.
Part of their response to my inquiry was: “We can only get the manga back if you rated or added tags when added manga to your list."
I’ve since sent a reply asking whether this basically means that for people who didn’t rate the manga/manhwa they added to their list (such as myself), they’re gone forever and can’t be restored. I’m still waiting for a reply, but I understand they’re probably dealing with a lot at the moment.
I just wanted to bring this up here in case there’s information about this that I’m not aware of. A few days ago I was told that non-rated manga are being done later. However, based on the devs reply, is there really no more hope for those of us that never rated any of the mangas/manhwas they read?
UPDATE:
Just for everyone's information this was the complete reply that I received from the devs (along with the part I shared earlier):
"I'm sorry, one of our data disk was crashed, we lost part of the data of users several days ago, but we still can restore part of the data from rating and tags. we can only get the manga back if you rated or added tags when added manga to your list"

UPDATE: AND THE FIRST RUN IS DONE!!
From here on out Mgo should make several runs to load everyone's data correctly and apply bug fixes, so dont worry if your list is still missing some. A full second pass could push it to Feb 4–5, but a partial cleanup run would likely finish around Feb 2–3.
Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. Its best to give it at least 2 weeks from now. If after everything finishes and youre still seeing clear errors in your marked mangas, report them to [email protected]
If possible, keep a small log of your observations and what you did, such as:
⠀⠀⠀*whether you re-added, edited, or deleted mangas during restoration
⠀⠀⠀*any repeated issues (random logouts, missing notifs, errors, etc.)
⠀⠀⠀*the other specific errors you noticed
Simply put, keep a log of WHAT YOU DID/OBSERVED and WHEN (use GMT or if in your local time, specify your timezone). The more specific your report is, the easier it is for the devs to trace what went wrong. It helps them replicate your actions so they can actually find and fix the problem
Here's an example log:
2026-01-26 9PM: I noticed my list went missing
2026-01-28 2AM: my list is restoring up to 67
2026-01-28 9PM: I added 10 mangas to my Already Read
2026-01-30 6PM: my restored mangas is stuck at 67
2026-01-31 10AM: my list count is increasing again it restored up to 83
2026-01-31 7PM: I added 3 mangas to my Want to Read
Read the FAQs here: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21080691/
Just wait patiently yall. Your mangas will be back.
I'll be updating the date of restored mangas here so if you want to be notified, follow this post

Let me start by saying that everything Im sharing comes from spending many years on this site, observing patterns across multiple accounts, and reading user reports. Im not the dev, mod, or admin but Ive had experience with systems which is why I can answer your “whys” and “what ifs”
THIS IS THE SITUATION
Jan19 - Bto closes
⠀⠀⠀*start of traffic surge to Mgo
⠀⠀⠀*some features have slowed down a bit
Jan24 - Mgo goes down
⠀⠀⠀*caused by backend updates or overloaded servers
Jan26 - Mgo comes back up
⠀⠀⠀*site is online again but very buggy: missing lists, random logouts, slow pages, no notifications, etc
⠀⠀⠀*this is when the system started gradually restoring lists
WHY IS THE SITE SO BUGGY
- Mgo uses separate parts for different things. One to SAVE your manga data (aka database/the memory), another one to DISPLAY your saved Manga data (aka UI/what you see), and another one for your browser/session data (aka cookies, login state, etc/this also connects the database and ui). When everything is working properly, these three systems stay in sync (eg. when you save a manga, it will show up in your list right away)
The system will communicate with Database, like hey this is the user that logged in go tell UI the things they should display. So Database will tell UI, like hey based on what's given to me, these are the saved data that belongs to this user, these are what you should display. HOWEVER, because of the gradual restoring of lists (which puts a heavy load on the site), the System, UI, and Database are not able to communicate properly, so theyre not in sync. This is why we’re encountering the issues
I DON'T GET NOTIFICATIONS
- since the System, UI, and Database are not in sync, Mgo cant correctly link your acc to your saved mangas so notifs dont show up/update properly. This is temporary and should be fixed when the system is in sync again
WHY DO I KEEP GETTING LOGGED OUT
- Mgo keeps track of your login/session info. But if this isnt tracked properly, Mgo may log you out randomly/repeatedly
WHERE DID MY LIST GO
- Your mangas are not deleted. Theyre still saved in the database. Mgo is gradually restoring everyone’s list from the oldest to most recent marked mangas. Follow this post to get notified about updates: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21092806/
WILL I GET MY LIST BACK
- YES. Do note that while your list is coming back, you might notice some things are off:
⠀⠀⠀*all mangas going into Already Read even if theyre originally marked as Want to read or Reading
⠀⠀⠀*deleted mangas showing up again
⠀⠀⠀*missing notes/summaries
⠀⠀⠀*only rated mangas showing for some users
(I can explain why but it will be too long for this FAQ. idk how to explain without sounding too technical so i might also have to explain the basic terms. You can ask in the comments if youre curious)
I ADDED NEW MANGAS TO MY EMPTY LIST, WILL IT OVERWRITE THE OLD ONE
- if you ADD NEW mangas while the site is restoring, your new list will stay. And your original list will be added back on top of it once its fully restored. But if you RE-ADD EXISTING mangas, it will update the original date of when the manga was added, tags, and summaries/little notes you originally had for it. its usually best to wait and let the restoration finish before making lots of changes
WHY DO OTHERS HAVE THEIR MANGAS BACK ALREADY, WHILE MINE IS STILL MISSING
- think of this like we're reading through a giant BOOK of everyone’s manga list, arranged by the exact time each manga was added (aka timestamps). Each timestamp is like a page in the book, and we read them from the oldest timestamps to the newest. Right now, we are reading timestamps from Feb 2022 (as of writing this post), so any timestamp dated later than Feb 2022 wont appear YET
If your lists are still completely EMPTY, there are 2 possible reasons:
One is that its about “activity”, not account age. So even if you joined in 2016, but you didnt add any manga until 2023, your list wont appear until the system reaches the timestamps for 2023. The second reason is, since the system is very busy right now, it sometimes hits a blurry page and has to skip to keep moving. This doesnt mean your data is gone. It just means the system needs to go back for a second run once the "main reading" is done
HOW SOON WILL THEY COMEBACK / WHEN IS THE RESTORATION EXPECTED TO FINISH
- how soon your lists fully comes back depends on how far along we are in the “book” and how many timestamps we still need to read. If yours already started to appear again then thats a good sign. it means your account is already in the queue and the rest should continue to come back (gradually, not all at once)
If theres another run, expect anywhere from a few extra hours to about one extra day. A full second pass could push it to Feb 4–5, but a partial cleanup run would likely finish around Feb 2–3.
IS THERE A WAY TO EXPORT MY LIST
- heres one way to export your lists: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Drj0CviUhrAmZlU-DC-AtxGFQoH1_PYQ81b2Vzu82w/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.acjitdw8v0h thank @Gurl for this solution by following/sending them a message. This is their account: https://www.mangago.me/home/people/3402357/home/
IMPORTANT: WHEN TO CONTACT SUPPORT
- PLEASE WAIT. Do not email the devs yet. The system needs to make several runs to load everyone's data correctly. Most of the current issues should fix themselves after the full restoration process is done. Give it at least 2 weeks from now.

For those who are confused, I read the raw of chapter 4, here's a summary (skipping over the parts of the scanlation that weren't confusing):http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/23_45_re/uu/23_45_re-chapter-4/6/
Mimori was complaining about the climb, so Iku called him a city boy and asked "come to think of it, where are you from?" Mimori asked if this was an Omiai (marriage interview, because Iku was asking personal questions), and Iku got angry and said he didn't mean it like that, he already stopped liking Mimori.
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/23_45_re/uu/23_45_re-chapter-4/8/
Here when Mimori asked "even though you stopped liking me?" Iku reiterated, "wanting someone to live doesn't mean you like them in that way."
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/23_45_re/uu/23_45_re-chapter-4/9/
Mimori asked "is it okay to wish for anything with after giving just 100 yen?"
Iku said he wished for Mimori to not fall anymore, and after Mimori said that if you tell someone your wish it won't come true, Iku went back to do it over and told Mimori not to ask him again.
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/23_45_re/uu/23_45_re-chapter-4/10/
Mimori wondered if it was okay to keep this kind of distance even though there are still so many things he didn't know about Iku.
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/23_45_re/uu/23_45_re-chapter-4/12/
Iku wondering what would have happened if they met more normally, but then said he couldn't help but reminisce about the past that they couldn't return to.
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/23_45_re/uu/23_45_re-chapter-4/15/
Mimori stopped Iku from buying tickets, and then said that he didn't want to talk about the past, but the future.
Iku questioned why even though Iku had decided to end it, Mimori was digging up things up again. He said that even though things were going his way, he was tired of saying things that won't come true.
Mimori asked "that's why you're stopping?"
Then Mimori said he thought Iku was rude because he was looking at the ghost and not him, even though he was the one standing right in front of Iku, and before he knew it he had been constantly thinking of Iku.
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/23_45_re/uu/23_45_re-chapter-4/24/
Mimori: Also, I hated it when you said you would stop liking me, so I'd be happy if you stopped stopping [liking me]
Iku: Even though you said you didn't understand what I told you? [the stories about the ghost] Even though you said that you can't give me anything?
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/23_45_re/uu/23_45_re-chapter-4/27/
"A living Mimori-san" "Right now, I will love the you who is living"
Sorry, somehow in the middle it turned to straight dialogue translation.
