Created in 1994, Kodocha tells the story of Sana Kurata, a young girl that is one of the stand out characters in all of anime! Without giving much away, I can only say Kodocha is a series that isn't just funny and entertaining, it also has meaning and is very touching. It's an absolute must-read for any shoujo fan.

If you've stumbled upon this site for your manga fix, you're in for a treat. There are many sites out there that show online manga, but they believe in quantity and not quality. Do you really need hundreds of mediocre series to choose from? We want to show you only the best manga. I hand pick all of the manga listed here, so you know you're viewing the best manga in the world!

Information & Rotation

The manga scans you will find on this site are ones created by fans. They are not scanned versions of the licensed English versions. On the topic of licensed manga series, I do host licensed series unlike many sites that take down manga scans when they get licensed. I feel that showcasing the series actually helps in sales. I usually do not host entire series (usually just the beginning or latter volumes) so people tend to purchase the actual graphic novels when they find out how good they are. As for the fansubbed manga scans, they are created by manga scanlation groups. You can get a full list of groups over at Manga Jouhou. These groups create these fansubs for the fans - I simply distribute them online. Within each series you will certainly see information pertaining to the groups that created the manga scans. Please support the groups by visiting their web site or mIRC channel.

At Spectrum Nexus we try to offer viewers a wide variety of manga series. For that reason I have implemented a manga rotation. Certain long series, such as Hajime no Ippo (over 78 volumes long), are under this manga rotation scheme because I can't host all of the volumes at once. The rotation consists of showing a set amount of volumes, then every Monday or Thursday they will rotate out and in will come a new batch. I have found this helps on the servers and allows me to keep this site up without ever asking for donations.
