So I have been wondering, how do you pronounce “Pismaniye”?
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
Julg being in love with Caius was well hidden. Back in chapters 76 and 77 - all the way back in 2022! - when we first meet Julg, his motivations are hidden by using flashbacks in a very specific order and using clever wording from Julg’s commentary.
I am not afraid to admit that I mis-read Julg’s motives. I thought he was trying to kill Kouichi to get back at Caius for abandoning Julg and upending his happy life. And I re-read the manga every few months when I have nothing else to read.
This and the last arc have really shown that the author has really learned how to write good story. Everything that has happened in the last 30 chapters has had setup quite literally years ago. This is the best kind of writing.
I knew it! I knew Julg was behind it since he burned the letter about the guards!
That guy took a magically reinforced bat to the the face and survived. If he wasn’t such a jerk I might have been impressed.
I believe I started reading this when it first started being scanulated back in 2004/2005. So finally seeing the end of this after LITERALLY TWO FULL DECADES feels both sad and happy.
Truly the end of an era.
Watch Thomas come out of nowhere and save Apostle-kun’s ass because Thomas is mad at Suho. Because that is the only way Apostle-kun is going to escape getting ousted at this very moment.
Okay. Ngl, that chapter ending was kinda wholesome.
Only two ways this can go really.
1. If Odin wins, it’s because he’s the one who’s behind the idea the whole time.
2. If Odin dies, it’s because Odin’s plan requires him to die for it to work.
Note I didn’t say, “If Kintoki wins”. Kintoki doesn’t have to win for the second thing to happen. Odin can secure a tie and still get what he wants if he has to die for his plans to work.
You know Thorne, for a king that doesn’t wish to have his country be a vassal state of Hanu, you sure are speed-running a plan to be vassalized by Hanu.
So putting aside the issues with the Birdmen King… Did Kouichi make the deadline?
I re-read the last few chapters, but I can’t figure out if Kouichi still has a day left, or is it the final hours of the quiz.
Because if Kouichi still has a day left, there’s not going to be much issues of his qualifications. But on the other hand, if it’s in the final hours, I can guess the people who were trying to sabotage the quiz are going to argue that Kouichi hatched it too late - as it was probably after the date ticked over.
Not getting the hate for the King and Tihla.
It’s literally outright stated that the ruler of the Birdmen has the freedom to love whoever they want. And from the Queen’s reaction that falling in love with Tihla was not an issue of itself nor something she could do anything about - which implys that having a concubine or secondary consort is legal and morally acceptable within the Birdmen country.
It only became an issue for the Queen and the supporters of the crown prince when the crown prince became suicidal.
And judging from how they are in the minority - the birdmen in general were celebrating that there would be a new royal child - that further cemented that the Ruler of the Birdmen is allowed to have open relationships.
While my personal morals don’t agree with that (I prefer monogamy). Trying to apply my personal morals to a country and situation where my morals are obviously not what is considered the standard by which things should be judged would just make me look foolish and ignorant.
The Raws are about 9 chapters ahead of this and to avoid major spoilers all I can confirm the egg hatches within the span of those chapters. In all likelihood with the current release speed we’ll see the egg hatch within the next two batches.
The citizens of that village left absolutely NOTHING to chance. It’s actually hilarious at how meticulous their preparations were to ensure knowledge survived for as long as it did.
Ngl the last few chapters have been delivering some actual decent twists. Didn’t expect that background character from early in the arc to be an assassin.
People might be complaining about the length of this arc, but the author has been laying the groundwork for the payoffs we’re getting now since the beginning, so I am NOT complaining. Good payoffs need the groundwork to be satisfactory. And if playing FFXIV has taught me one thing, sometimes you have to wait for a couple of years for a story to deliver on its payoffs.
That said, I think we are in the climax of the egg arc. So while I do appreciate that the author took the time to build up properly for the payoffs currently happening… I also hope things are wrapped up quickly afterwards. Almost all the cards that have been hidden are coming into play, so there isn’t going to be a need to keep stringing things along in the falling action portion of the plot.
But after this I can see at least one more arc. As there are several unaddressed plot points. The Doctor’s illness is still a thing. Dyne has his past to discover. And Kouichi still needs to perfect body manipulation magic so he can take all of Caius before the story can end properly.
El and Al being there in the last panel channeling all the reader’s ire into making sure Hyme leaves with the least amount of dignity.
Watching the father and the grandmother absolutely wreck the diplomatic corp without ever having said an outright threat is a thing a beauty and awesomeness.
I’d like to think that I have a high tolerance for stories killing likable characters for the service of a good story, but this current progression is testing even my tolerance levels. So I think I’m going to give JJK a break for a while. This latest chapter was too much even for me. I was going to be okay with all the sacrifices - even Gojo - if it meant taking Sukuna down.
But if Sukuna regains is energy and makes all the sacrifices worthless, I think that means I need to step away before the current progression completely ruins the whole manga for me.
