Copyright and reports.

I respect the work of the people who make manga, and I want to help when something isn’t right. Here’s how Kiyume works and how to reach the right person.

How content reaches Kiyume

Kiyume is a reader. I don’t host, store or distribute manga read through third-party sources: pages load on the reader’s device directly from the website a source reads. Sources and repositories are published by third parties, who are named in the app next to what they publish.

The exception is this website, which I publish myself.

Who to contact

If your concern is aboutThe quickest way to resolve it
Content hosted on a websiteThe operator or host of that website. Removing it there removes it for everyone, whatever app or browser they use.
A source or repositoryIts operator: their contact is published with their repository and shown in the app. And tell me too — see below.
This websiteMe, at support@kiyume.app.

Sending a notice

Write to support@kiyume.app with the subject “Rights complaint”, or use Report › Copyright or rights complaint in the app on the source or series concerned. Please include:

  1. your name and contact details, and whether you act for the rights holder;
  2. the work you believe is being infringed;
  3. where it appears: the source, repository or series name as shown in Kiyume, and the website address if you know it;
  4. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn’t authorised, and that the information in your notice is accurate.

What I do

  • For this website: I review every notice and remove infringing material promptly.
  • For third-party sources: I don’t control them or the websites they read, but I forward your notice to the source’s operator wherever I can reach them, and point you to the website’s host.

I reply to every notice, and may ask for more information when I need it to act.

Other reports

For content that’s wrongly labelled, explicit content not marked as such, or a source that doesn’t work, use Report in the app or write to me from the support page.
