Japan’s anti-piracy law also covers ‘leech’ websites, which contain download links to pirated materials. The actual ban will take effect starting January 1, 2021, while restrictions will begin by October 1 this year.

The revision of the law was due to the increasing number of piracy and leech websites online. For example, sites like Mangamura are getting over 100 million visits per month before it got taken down last April 2018. It hosted îllégâl copies of popular titles like One Piece and Attack on Titan. Because of piracy websites like this, publishers reportedly lost around 300 billion yen or $2.75 billion in revenue.

But even with their îllégâl activities, KissAnime and KissManga have been part of many people’s childhoods, so it’s no surprise that plenty of people online are mourning.
