This was displayed yesterday in the app when the new chapter was supposed to be uploaded. They even removed it from the library. I can’t see it in my MangaPlus library and the Mihon extension says that it’s removed. The Japanese version does still exist it seems and properly got the new chapter.

I read some speculation that this might be due to copyright reasons of the translated song lyrics. If that’s the case, I don’t understand why the Japanese version would still be up, since I assume they use the real lyrics.

Anyway, this is quite sad. I hope it gets resolved soon.

    Royalties must be paid in all relevant countries. Pretty sure they have that covered in Japan and did an oopsie when translating and publishing world wide.
