MT Intelligence
Our analysis confirms this domain is legitimately affiliated with the MangaDex manga aggregator. The page title 'NamiDex' aligns with the platform's recent corporate transition to NamiComi management. Technical scans show zero detections across 92 antivirus engines and a clean reputation for the hosting IP. While the page currently displays a static illustration rather than the full reader, this is consistent with its role as a secondary or management domain. The site is backed by a verified, active business registration in the United Kingdom.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for mangadex.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- The legitimate MangaDex platform operates primarily at mangadex.org (registered February 2018, Wikipedia, official site).
- mangadex.com returns page title "NamiDex" and is referenced by users in r/mangadex and official forums in context of the platform's management by NamiComi/NamiDex.
- MangaDex registered as MANGADEX UK LTD (active UK company); transitioned to corporate structure in 2025-2026 amid DMCA pressures, now uses ads and paid supporter plans while keeping core access free.
- Past security incidents: major hack and data breach in March 2021 exposing ~3M users' emails, usernames, bcrypt-hashed passwords, and IPs (Have I Been Pwned, BleepingComputer reports).
- Community discussions on Reddit (r/mangadex) consistently treat mangadex.org as the main safe site; users have accidentally created accounts on mangadex.com thinking it was the primary domain.
- No scam reports, malware complaints, or phishing flags found specifically for mangadex.com; Reddit threads affirm the platform (with precautions) is generally considered safe.
- MangaDex is a community-driven, not-for-profit-origin manga scanlation aggregator that has faced DMCA removals and content policy changes (e.g., loli content restrictions).

Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on mangadex.com and not a lookalike like m-angadex.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- Our automated security review found no threat indicators on mangadex.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- mangadex.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 92/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- Yes. mangadex.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 55 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

- No. mangadex.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

- Yes. mangadex.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
- This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 22, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around mangadex.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
