Hello everyone !! in honor of Eighteen's Bed S2 coming soon, I am here to spoil the rest of the story! I also did so back when when S1 ended so if you find this similar it was probably me hehe (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Just a reminder to everyone it's been since November since I read the novel, so recalling the novel exactly is a bit hard and I might miss some details.
Please feel free to ask questions and I will try my best to answer them !!⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Starting from where chapter 43 leaves off. Juns arm was actually fractured from their altercation. Which leads up to Jun needing a cast for the next few months (which I believe was three). When Jun returns to school, as he opens the door to enter, coincidentally, Yohan is actually leaving as well. It is obvious to Jun that something has changed, as he puts it "There was a strange malice in his eyes. It reached into some deep-rooted fear inside me. My mouth went dry. Yohan brushed past, shoulder bumping against mine. The gesture carried a dear sense of displeasure. That was when I realized— I was discarded. " From then on, other students start picking up on it and from them on there are many incidents of harrasment towards Jun. Also from that day on, Yohan moves seats and stops eating lunch with and Jun, Jun also from that day on usually stays seated and dallys away his day with studying.
I don't know if it's the same day or another day, but in any case, one day there are nasty names, insults and such left written on Juns desk. Jun doesn't care much but it gets to him a bit. He leaves to grab some rubbing alcohol and napkins to clean his desk off, but upon his return to his desk, he finds that someone else had already done it for him. He is later introduced as a half Korean half American student named Shin Jaehyun. From then, Jun kinda takes an interest in him. From the looks of it, he was set up to be the second male lead, or at least thats what I got from it. From Juns later evaluation of him, Shin Jaehyun is a nice, smart guy but a coward. A person who is only nice because he doesn't trouble in his school life. Not saying he is actually a mean/bad person, just that hes nice and polite to everyone so that he doesn't get into trouble.
There are also small incidents of small things being thrown at Jun, or incidents of his desk being messed with. The students who hang around Jun are Lee Seokhyun, Kim Minho, and Oh Yeonjun, they’re not exactly buddies, but not exactly enemies. If anything, They are only acquaintances at best who happen to hang out.
A few days later, Go Yohan also starts to worsen things. There are times he says things to drag Jun in the mud and humiliate him. Like saying "Kang Jun, stopping ruining the class vibe, will you? I'm trying to study and you're fucking my mood." In that moment, it wasnt even Jun speaking, it was the other guys hanging around him. One thing as well, Yohan stops calling Jun "Jun" and starts refering to him in his full name, Kang Jun.
That same day at lunch, Shin Jaehyun actually approaches Jun, and gives him an egg sandwich as he noticed all Jun was eating for lunch was bread. Every time Jaehyun is mentioned, I'm pretty sure they always mention how American he is. (His nickname is "Yankee" lmaoo). That very same day as well, Jun's shoes get stolen, or rather people threw his outdoor shoes away. As he walks home in his slippers, he realizes that there are shards of glass in his slippers. He later gets stitches for that. It's insinuated that people had put glass in his slippers.
The next day in P.E. they are playing soccer which Jun has to sit out of because of his injuries. As Jun sits at the bleachers, the ball gets kicked straight at him in the face. Jun is absolutely stunned. He tries one more time, he gives Yohan once more chance to set things right between them. He straight up BEGS Yohan to say something and stop his harrassment saying, “Go Yohan, Please...,” but Yohan being stuck up and prideful, says nothing and the bullying gets a bit worse. Jun starts to straight up resent Go Yohan from there. When Jun goes to the infirmary, he runs into Ha Taesan. He immediately recognizes that Jun is getting picked on. I'm not sure, but I think either he tries to help Jun, or stays quiet about it. Either way, they talk but I don't quite remeber what their conversation is about. Ha Taesan eventually gets up to leave, but right before that, he tells Jun that stuff in the scrapyard gets incinerated each Friday.
The day after during Lunch, to my suprise, Go Yohan sits next Kang Jun and starts being really annoying. He begins asking Jun where he's eating, what's he been up to, to which Jun responds along the lines of, "yeah sorry I've been studying and plus im hurt", to which these are obviously lies. Amused with Juns response, Yohan responds mockingly, “you never said that?" The whole situation is embarrassing (even I had the hardest time getting through this scene). Anywho, Yohan gives Jun an egg sandwich. Seemingly jealous from Shin Jaehyun from the other day. Jun says he doesn't want it and keeps rejecting it. In result, Yohan slaps him. (This had me absolutely FUMING) Jun says that it was "a slap between a joke and something serious, enough for it to hurt." Aka the slap was a warning to Jun while making it seem like it was just two friends playing around so that no one gets into trouble.
The next day at lunch, Yohan buys him bread, saying that it looks like Jun seems to like it. This seems pretty mockingly to me. Up to this point, Jun had only been eating bread from the canteen to avoid Yohan in the cafeteria and he couldn’t really manage eating a whole meal at school, which is why Yohan says what he says. Jun refuses, but Yohan keeps insisting. Yohan ends up giving up, and instead of being a mature highschool student, he instead ends up being petty and starts smearing the bread (which has chocolate filling) all over Juns workbook. Jun isn't really in the mood to put up with his bullshit or putting too much energy towards anything related to Yohan, so all he does is throw his workbook away. Jun tries to leave the classroom for some peace and quiet but Yohan yanks him back inside the classroom. Yohan then starts going on about "why are you ignoring me," and "when I speak to you, you answer," and blah blah blah. Instead of entertaining Yohan, Jun just reponds to him saying,“This is over, isn't it? i thought we'd go back to being strangers." To cut it short, he's just telling Yohan that he’ll live in solidarity and asks him to leave him alone. Yohan, having a short temper, throws a chair to the floor. Yohan starts spewing bullshit like, “you’re doing this on purpose right? You actually want to be close again but your pride won’t let you." Jun fires back, “you were the one that said this was over, why are you clinging like you’re regretting it?" At that, Yohan freezes. Jun takes it as a sign to escape and leaves the classroo. Right after leaving, Jun runs into Jaehyun in the hallway. In an attempt to comfort Jun, he takes him to the art room. (Jaehyun is the president of the art club). He tries to comfort Jun again and gives him yogurt. Sensing something from Jaehyun, Jun tells him, “don’t cross the line.” (To be honest, I don't really remember what he meant by this). Jaehyun then talks about his time in America and opens up about his bullying. In an attempt to make Jun laugh, he even makes a racist joke that was told to him in his time in america. After this, Jaehyun tells Jun that he's welcome to go inside the art room whenever he wants to and gives him the key. Jun eventually gives the key back, not really wanting to involve himself too much with Jaehyun.
The next day, Jun stuffs snacks into his bag for lunch so that he doesn't need to be given food from anyone. He leaves a bit early as because of his injuries and he takes a taxi. As he is leaving, it turns out (the psycho) Yohan was waiting for him outside. Yohan tells him “let’s talk”. He drags Jun into the alley between their houses. As Yohan starts about his making up bullshit, Jun is entirely focused on the arm on his shoulder. which seems to be slight PTSD from chapter 42. He tells Yohan, “okay but can we talk without you touching me?” Yohan at that scoffs and says “you think I’m still into you? I only want to make up because my father likes you.” Jun then responds by saying, “I don’t want to. Can’t we just act like we don’t know each other and go our separate ways? You can tell your dad we made up i don’t care.” Juns taxi arrives, so he attempts to leave, but Yohan drags him back and starts saying “Who are you gonna cling to now?” and goes on Tbh this seems like Yohan was jealous and only wants Jun to cling onto him.. He gets interrupted by Juns taxi driver and Juns makes a quick escape.
Later that same day, Jun goes to the scrapyard to look for his shoes. As he is there, he runs into Hong Huijun. One of Junwoo’s ex-lackies and seemingly new leader of that little friend group. They start saying a lot of bullshit in an attempt to provoke Jun and eventually things get physical. Not because Jun responded to their provocation, but because Jun wasn't really falling for their bullshit. Jun, who is extremely fed up with his school life, actually fights back. He actually beats the shit Huijuns ass. He uses the advice Yohan had told him in earlier chapters to win. It is later revealed that he had broken the guys nose. Jun then proceeds to knock out after beating Huijun up.
Jun wakes up, and he finds himself in the hospital. It is then revealed to him that his parents had flown back from their business trip in the U.S. and his mom raised hell about school violence and even got Huijun expelled. As he looks around, he finds Yohan sleeping on couch in his hospital room. Eventually, the two start talking. Yohan starts with his “let’s make up” bull crap, and Jun, fed up and exhausted, just gives into so that he has a smooth rest of the year. Yohan is actually really happy about this.
When Jun returns, things go back to semi normal. But there are times where Yohan will ignore, not defend, etc. Jun when he acts the way he doesn’t want him too. When Jun does, as a reward, he protects and defends him like before. Yohan has mood swings pretty much. Jun still very much hates Yohan, his resentment for him growing day by day. but he just toughs it out, as he plans to drop him after Highschool.
Jun goes to the hospital for a check up and gets his cast removed. Jun decides to skip as to avoid seeing and interacting with Yohan. Jun walks around and eventually bumps into Kim Minho. Kim Minho and Jun talk. Eventually Kim Minho tells him, “Hey, let’s take down Go Yohan and end his little regin, I have a plan.” June, is not really interested, but plays along. he asks him what his plan is and Minho tells him, “Confess to Go Yohan, I’ll record it and spread the video around, and I'll also beat him up” Forgot to mention, but in some point in time Jun and Jaehyun meet up in the art room. I believe it might be right after Yohans tantrum. In this specific meeting, Shin Jaehyun tells Jun that there are rumors that Go Yohan is gay or has feelings for Jun. Jun isn’t really surprised, he’s more surprised about how obvious it is to others and wonder how many people have it figured out. This is why Kim Minho tells Jun to confess to Yohan. Jun tells Minho he’ll go along with his plan, but asks him if he can do it after summer break. Minho doesn't really like that, but tells him sure.
During summer break, Jun and his mother go to Go Yohan’s house as his mother offered to give Jun and his mom advice for college. Jun goes to the restroom and runs into Yohans sister, Go Rosah. It is then that Rosah reveals everything. That Yohan is a absolute fucking liar. He lied about everything, about his family being homophobic and being the familys outcast. That contrary, Yohan seems like the favorite. Even tells him the reason why their father likes Jun is because they can dump Yohan on him. Jun is completely stunned and runs out their home.
Break ends and Minho is telling Jun that it is time and he can't wait anymore. And so Jun asks Yohan to meet him in the Music room later. It's later and Jun waits for Yohan in the music room. Minho hides behind a curtain and is recording everything. Yohan actually believes that Jun is about to confess his feelings because it is noted that his ears are red. At this point, Jun is tired of everything and everyone. And so instead of confessing, he tells Yohan that this is all a set up. That Minho was the one to tell him to bring Yohan there to humilate him into believing Jun was going to confess and tells him where he is hiding. Yohan opens the curtain up and starts beating the shit out of Minho. Jun is kind of weak to violence and tells Go Yohan to stop as he doesn’t want to get caught up in a school violence incident again. Go Yohans and instructs Jun to leave and makes a phone call to Lee Seokhyun. And Leave Jun did.
After that. Jun just lives mundanely. He spends most of his time studying and such for the entrance exam. He starts making plans to ensure he doesn’t see Go Yohan again. Instead of applying to Business in Korea University like he told to everyone, he applied to the department of political science. He doesn’t plan to tell Go Yohan. And of course he gets accepted and he’s extremely happy to the point he cries in the bathroom stall. This was a highkey heartwarming moment because you can really feel his relief through the screen.
Once enterance exams are over, Jun decides to go around the city. By coincidence, Jaehyun and Kang Jun run into each other. Just before this, Jun had told Yohan he was going to be at home. They talk and Jaehyun mentions rumors that had been going around. Jun questions how ‘those rumors’ (the ones of go Yohan being gay) were able to calm down. Jaehyun taken aback, asks him, “You don’t know?” Jaehyun then reveals that a photo went around. (This is were I went crazy, I swear my jaw dropped. Go Yohan is a sick bastard, he’s insane). Jaehyun says it was a picture of Kim Minho and Lee Seokhyun KISSING IN THE MUSIC ROOM. (That’s why he called Lee Seokhyun. When I tell you I was sick to my stomach.) He says it was obvious to everyone that it was forced because they both were crying in the photo and how bloody Kim Minho was. Then, a little later, Jaehyun and Jun go out to a cafe. Thats when Yohan spots them. Jaehyun is scared of Yohan (as he should be), and he goes pale as fuck. Yohan starts acting buddy buddy with Jaehyun and questioning how they met (aka he’s mad Jun lied). He’s obviously tormenting Jaehyun because he’s mad and jealous. Jun gets fed up and dumps his coffee on Yohan and yells to him “we’re not friends so leave me tf alone!” Jun grabs Jaehyun and makes a run for it, but Jaehyun, like the coward he is, goes back to apologize to Yohan and Jun is just like “whatever." Jun then makes a little evalutation about Jaehyun. He comes to the conclusion that he only likes Jaehyun as a friend. He tried to make Jaehyun his little crush to get over Yohan, obviously it didn't really work.
After that, Jun doesn’t go to school for the rest of the year (there's only 2 weeks until graduation at this point). Yohan constantly texts and calls him, and Jun striaght up blocks him. One late night, Yohan gets drunk and ends up right infront of Juns door. He rings the doorbell and Jun tells him to leave or he’ll call the police. Jun meets Yohan outside and Yohan starts on his bullshit again, saying that everyone at home hates him. Jun is tired of his bullshit and tells him that he is loved and him he knows he’s lying about not being loved and everything else.
The day of graduation comes and he debates on going, but he ends up going. During the ceremony he bumps into Yohan and Jun fucking BOOKS IT. He runs and locks himself into a classroom where he collects himself. Yohan gets in somehow and he hugs Juns legs and starts SOBBING. he the repeatdly start muttering “thank you, thank you thank you.” In a moment of feeling pity for Yohan, Jun kisses him. I’m pretty sure it was a quick peck. The scene is really memorable because Jun says, “Surprisingly, my first kiss didn’t taste like lemon or lime; it tasted salty and wet.” Jun leaves for home, and I’m guessing he didn’t go through the whole ceremony because it’s mentioned later he didn’t pick up his diploma. When he returns home, he packs up immediately and heads for he U.S., where his parents are, and leaves his phone behind.
After winter break ends, he comes back from the U.S. and heads to his dorm. He applied for a dorm while he was there and even bought a new phone. Once he arrives to dorm, he notes that the other side of it is empty, so he hopes maybe he doesn’t have a roommate. Later after all his lectures end and he’s in his room debating whether he should get dinner, he heads out and when he opens his door, he finds GO YOHAN outside the door. As it turns out, Yohan is his roommate. Last time Jaehyun and Jun hung out, Jun said he’ll never see Yohan again. Jaehyun basically ays“never say never”. Jun thinks Yohan has pulled some bull shit but it really was entirely coincidence. Yohan, is extremely confused but elated. He actually never thought he’d see Jun again. Jun rushes to his room and locks the door. Apparently the doors have some keypads because Yohan is able to unlock it and he says “They tell you to change the password once you settle in.” Yohan tells Jun that he really won’t do or pull anything off this time.Jun notes that Yohan is more docile and more obedient, exactly like a dog. They talk and Jun realizes Yohan doesn’t have this rosary. Yohan tells Jun he doesn’t believe in God anymore and he’s just a bastard because he never granted his prayers when it came to Jun.
Later, I don’t exactly know how it happens bc when i read this chapter it randomly cut to this part, but Jun runs into Minho. Minho starts lashing out on him because of what happened to his plan. He tells Jun to he drinks out of the soju bottle he brought and then he’ll forgive him. Jun refuses, he knows there is something wrong with it. Well turns out he was right because Minho gets pissed and tries to spill the 'water' on him. and apparently Yohan was nearby because he jumps right in-between Minho and Jun. Turns out the 'water' was fucking ACID and it burns Yohans right shoulder (if yall remember the extra and how yohan has a scar on his shoulder wink wink).
In the hospital, Jun is in Yohans room. Yohans parents show up, signing off on surgeries and skin grafts. Eventually, it’s just Yohans father and Jun in the room. They have a conversation, and Jun asks him, “Do you love your son?”, he responds “Of course I do. I rank him second.” (don't know why he mentioned that but ok). Jun (doesn’t say it but he thinks it) calls it bullshit and comments on how messed up Yohans father is.
Later, Jun goes to Go Yohans house to collect some of Yohans things, like clothes and games for entertainment, and he runs into Rosah again. She reveals to him that after the day Jun blocked him, Yohan went absolutely insane. He started bugging others about Jun, even bugging the teachers. He was completely desperate. He went to church, prayed and eventually threw a tantrum and loudly exclaimed “fuck u” to God and went as far as ripping his rosary apart in church. Jun is just like “wtf” and Rosah points out that his face it red. Rosah teases him, not even playfully, straight up confused on how that could get Jun blushing. To shut her up, Juns her “why did u lie to me? Ur father said Yohans second, not his favorite” And go Rosah was completely confused, responding “huh? He told me I was… second..” that’s when Jun learns, yeah Yohans father is fucked up and a liar, and promptly leaves.
Some days later in the hospital, Jun and Yohan talk. It’s chapter 20, the last chapter of the novel, and it’s called “Go Yohans Religion”. Go Yohan just says “I’m atheist now, you’re more useful than the guy up in the sky.” Essentially, Yohan is saying that he’ll belive in Jun, and that Jun is his new religion. Jun doesn’t believe him, so Yohan responds by saying “I’ll show you.” Go Yohan kneels to the ground, grabs Juns foot, and slowly starts kissing his feet and goes up from there. And that’s where it ends. It’s assumed they made out because in the side stories as Go Yohan asks Jun if “they could do what they did in the hospital” and they made out soon after
And bam!!!
I haven’t read all the side stories yet sadly. Life has got me busy. In the side stories, it’s just a small continuation of their life. Jun and Yohan aren’t exactly together or friends, or at least from where i left off. They dont have sex right away. They first actually just rub their dicks together, and later Yohan fucks Jun in between his thighs. Not until a few chapters later, they actually do have sex. That’s where Jun, in a delirious state from the pleasure, ends up confessing to Yohan and telling him that’s he’s actually liked him since high school. It's revealed that Jun has to redo his whole first year, or just one semester as he spent it mostly taking care of Yohan as he was in the hospital which lead to him falling behind. I also saw that in the side stories that there is a omegaverse AU. To which I've heard it isn't really that good,
If you get anything from the story, Yohan is just a complete sociopath, with a messed up home life. You can tell the children of the Go house value their father’s opinion, which was why he was really angry when Jun pulled that stunt in the dining room. Go Rosah mentions that Yohan really treasured his rosary as it was a gift from their father, when he ripped it apart she was completely stunned. The children seek nothing but validation of their father. Yohan says he likes Jun because the two are similar, and he never elaborates further.
Some other things to mention: Its never revealed why exactly Yohan likes Jun, or at least I never picked up on it. He does only say its because "the two of them are similar" which I don't really know what he means by that. I think it might be referring to both of them being gay, but idk?? He never actually elaborates further, or at least from where I left off he never did.
Why he lied to Jun: It's never explain, or again at least to where im at. From my evalutaion of him, I’m pretty sure it’s because he wanted Jun to feel bad and stay with him. A way to trap Jun in a way. And it works, Jun feels pity for him. When Go Rosah reveals the truth about Yohan never actually being the family’s out cast, Jun points out how Yohan prepared food himself and how he did his own laundry but Go Rosah counter’s back saying those are basic life skills, why shouldn’t he know how to do that? Because Jun and Yohan are rich, of course they have maids that could do that, so Jun never questions not knowing how to do simple things. Yohan used these skills to victimize himself and get Jun to feel bad and have Jun stay with him.
One more thing. Go Yohan is known to be a pathological lair. When Jun was in the hospital after his fight and Yohan was there to make up, They end up talking. The topic about college comes up and Jun tells Yohan he’s heard he was going abroad. Yohan tells him he isn’t and that he’ll for sure get into Korea University because of his diverse bloodline. He starts saying that his grandparents are Roman from his dads side and how his one of his grandparents from his moms side is from The U.S or U.K (I don’t remember). Jun is surprised which causes Go Yohan to admit that he made that up and says that it’s true that he was born in the U.S. Going back to when Yohan suddenly sat next to Jun and was questioning where and what he was eating and what he’s been up too. When Jun lies about having told Yohan that he’d be busy studying, Yohan grins and tells him that clumsy lies aren’t good lies and that he should be more confident because it’ll make it more believable. He tells Jun that he knows best because he good at telling lies.

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

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.
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
EDIT TO ADD: Youre welcome yall (i cant reply to each one of you youre too many ) Im just glad I could help clarify things! Ask away if you have more questions so I can keep updating this community-notes for everyone! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
