If you’re into manga, our favourite websites KISSMANGA and KISSANIME has been shutdown by Japan due to stricter privacy law. The popular website has been shut down following reports that Japan would be implementing stricter copyright laws.

The Japanese parliament had “endorsed a revised anti-online piracy law for copyright control, banning illicit downloading of manga, magazines, and academic texts, in addition to music and videos that were already covered by the existing legislation.” The law also regulates “leech websites”. Leech Websites provide users hyperlinks to download so-called torrent files of pirated manga and anime series. The ban on illegal downloading will take effect on January 1, 2021, while restrictions on leech sites will come into force on October 1.

KissAnime, which is a popular piracy website that is used to “illegally stream popular anime shows. KissAnime’s Support made an announcement, “Our beta server have been taken down, this could lead to the closure of the website. We will make more announcement after we have the decision.”

Four hours later, it is updated to, “All files are taken down by copyright owners. KissManga and KissAnime will be closed forever. Thank you for your supports… Thank you to those years.”
