Verdict

Manga tracker with subscription model and mixed community feedback

Kenmei.co is a cross-site manga reading tracker that syncs progress across platforms. The service offers a paid Premium tier and has been operating since 2019 with no security detections, but community reports mention feature restrictions behind paywalls and friction with users creating third-party scripts.

The service appears functional with no technical threats, but users should be aware of the subscription model and potential feature restrictions before committing to paid tiers.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Technical checks show no active threats

The browser threat feed returned no threat warnings and the site uses a valid TLS certificate for encrypted connections.

The hosting IP has an abuse confidence score of 0/100 with no saved reports, and the domain is over seven years old.

Community feedback highlights subscription friction and review concerns

Some users on AlternativeTo describe Kenmei as a useful tool for manga enthusiasts, while others raise concerns about potentially fake reviews on third-party platforms.

A Greasy Fork user reported being banned by the owner after creating quality-of-life scripts, noting that the site lacks features and locks them behind a paywall.

Why the score is 69

One customer complaint in public web research: "Owner banned me over making QoL buttons. I hope that in the future he would rather acknowledge the motivation behind creating these scripts, because his site…". Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to watch something? Use a safe option instead

Looking for something to watch? These are legal, malware-free ways to stream — several have free, ad-supported tiers, so there's no need to risk a sketchy pirate site.

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is kenmei.co a scam or is it safe?

There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give kenmei.co a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 7 years old. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.

Is kenmei.co safe to use?

kenmei.co has a Safety Score of 69/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is partial at 69%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.

Has kenmei.co been flagged by antivirus engines?

No — all 58 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network that rated it reported kenmei.co as clean in the saved analysis from August 3, 2026. 34 other engines had no rating for it. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.

Is kenmei.co on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — kenmei.co is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.

How old is the kenmei.co domain?

kenmei.co is 7 years old, registered on July 7, 2019 through NameCheap, Inc. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.

Does kenmei.co have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — kenmei.co presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 32 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".

Where is kenmei.co hosted?

kenmei.co resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.

How often is the kenmei.co report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on October 12, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about kenmei.co has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
