I finally sent the devs an email because I don’t have a single manga/manhwa restored in my lists 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 m......
Alright folks. It has been a week now since the glitch issue started. At least 80% of you know what's going on. the 20% of you that don't. Well, everyone just keep reading below.
Yes, the want to read, reading and read lists are still being worked on. They are at least halfway through the second pass if not further along. Give it time. Until then. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS OUT THERE!!! use your browser bookmarks to bookmark things. NOT THE SITE!! don't go into the manga and mark it "reading" "Read" "chapter whatever" because if there's another glitch. POOF! it all could be gone. Use your browser.
Your browser is the thing you open up to type in the webpage to use the site on. The book marker is the top right hand corner under the X button.
When will this be fixed? We don't fully know. It could be the middle of February, could be the end, could be tomorrow. We have to wait and see. Truth be told folks, it's a small team doing this work not a large corporation. There are over a million accounts on this site and more coming by the day. It's going to take time! If you want to complain about it. Do it in your head. Because the Devs and mods trying to get the site fixed as quickly as they can for you all. Don't need to hear it. And the rest of us who have been trying to help you all understand what's going on. Also do not need to hear it.
DO NOT mess with your lists!! Why? you ask. 3 reasons. 1. adding to your list just adds work to the Devs and causes a delay in the list coming back to you. 2. If your list has returned and you start messing with it (like the comments) and there's another glitch. you are stuck doing it all over again. That will be on you. Not the Devs, not the mods. No one but you. 3. None of us want to hear you whine and BEEP that your list is messed up again. That your frustrated you took hours to clean it and it's all back in the spot it was before.
There are people that will drop updates. If you watch for them in the main comment section (Where you're reading this most likely) you will find them. (or their links) dropped by others. READ THEM. you can keep up to date on things.
Do we know if the lists will be sorted by the Devs back into place like they were or will you have to do it? We have no idea right now. We are taking this one step at a time. Most of us are just happy to see things back on the lists! There are still several more passes to go. Hopefully the final pass will put everything in their proper place. After the final pass a comment will be dropped to tell those who still have manga's missing from their lists where to go.
Now, for those of you that are sitting there twiddling your thumbs. I have given several suggestions on things to do. Some of you have done them. Others have not. Yes, I know who you all are, because I see you in the comment sections complaining.
Top bar of this site has 4. Yes count them 4 colored buttons. Click one of them! Lo and be hold folks. Things to read. New or old it's something to read. A reminder as you find mangas to read use the browser bookmarker.
Reread. And I stand firm on this one, you cannot tell me you do not have time to reread something. You are on this site in the first place. as you come to a stop in the middle of a read, use your browser bookmarker to bookmark where you left off at. easier to come back to.
Pick a subject that's NOT the glitch, to talk about in the comment section to make new friends. you are one step already closer because everyone here likes manga.
If for some reason you decide not to follow anything on this list. It's on you. Do not go into the comment section to whine and complain to everyone about it because you didn't listen to all the links dropped for your sake.
With that, go read. and remember to BREATH!! it will be fixed!!
Yes, your lists are still down (scrambled even). Hate to break it to you, but they aren't coming back magically in a day. And PLEASE read this whole thing because a lot of the mods are brain fried, lack sleep and are on very emotional thin ice. So the more of this you read, the better for everyone.
Bookmark your mangas using your browser bookmarker for now.
Why you ask? Because of the current lists of want to read, reading and read are still being worked on. Don't like it? oh well! go some place else. (you know who you are). For those that are nice enough to wait and those that are new. Thank you for waiting and the team will get to your lists as soon as they can.
Yes, the lists WILL be scrambled as they arrive. No, they will not arrive all at once. You will need to sort them once the all clear is given and the glitch is officially fixed. DO NOT!! clean your list until that official announcement is made. No one including yourself needs the frustration of "I just cleaned this and there's another glitch now I have to clean it again!!??" none of us need that headache.
There is no set date for when this glitch will be fully fixed. Sorry folks, with over a million of us on this site (and growing). all with mile long lists. It is going to take a while. Hate to break it to you all, but Rome was not built in a day and fixing a site properly with this many people and those long of a list doesn't happen in two or three days. Building a site and running a site are different from one another.
No, the comments for your mangas are not back yet. Do we have a time for that as well? Nope. right now just getting your lists up and running again is priority #1. then other glitches will be addressed. PLEASE!!! do not whine and complain about it 30 times a day. the mods and devs are working on it as fast as their tired bodies can work on it. remember there are millions of us on this site. with mile long lists and a small team of them.
Please DO NOT contact the team about your lists until the all clear has been given and you are still having issues with your lists. There will be information most likely dropped at the time with steps to follow. Until then PLEASE wait for that information. Because it's not needed right now. for now look further below for things you can do while you wait.
Things you can do while you wait!!
1.Go into the Last Updated list and look around for new or old things to read. (who knows you might find something you forgot and never put it on your lists in the first place)
2. Go swim in the Genre section. Try new genres. Now's a good as a time as ever.
3. Reread something! DO NOT tell me you don't have the time to reread something! you are here after all!!
When you find a manga you like bookmark it with your browser bookmark for later filing in your lists once they are working again
4. Make some friends online here in the comment section! we all love reading! look it's one step in the right direction!
With that, thank you for your understanding and time dealing with this coocoo that is going on with the site
Remember to breath. Happy reading.
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
08/01/2024: MGo was one of my safe spaces when I was struggling with mental health. The mangas/manhwas Ive read (and are still reading), and the people Ive met will always have a special place in my heart. I am all better now and I'm ready to pursue what life has ahead of me, and I think with that, I wont be active as much here anymore. I will still log in (very very) occasionally though to send recs and maybe respond to messages. THANK YOU EVERYONE! (✿◡‿◡)

Hi All, a lot of bad stuff has clearly been happening lately in the manga p*r*t*ng world. I really hope we never lose this site, but who knows.
I'd just like to say a big thank you to the staff members of Mangago for working really hard and allowing us to read a bunch of amazing stories. You guys do so much and I cannot express how much appreciation I have for you guys.
Also thanks to my fellow community members because you guys rock. I don't really comment that much but when I do some of you guys are so nice and reply to me.
Also I just silently read a lot of the stuff on here and I just want to say. You guys are hilarious and have me roaring with laughter, sometimes I wish I saved the funniest comments I seen on here.
Thanks for being you and loving BL manga!!
Some of you need to stop spreading misinformation this has happened before in the past and I know that there’s some people who are trolling, but we will get our lists and library back! It will take up a few days, maybe even a week for certain users. They are starting with old accounts some people who have had their account since 2014 already have their list and everything back. It sucks but everything will be restored to the way it was so stop freaking out and panicking.
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

2026-01-26 9PM: I noticed my list went missing

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
Ik it’s sad our reading lists are gone but at least the sites still here guys let’s count our blessings
