Is scan-manga.com legit or a scam?
Long-running French manga scanlation site with clean records, 18-year domain age, and positive third-party ratings despite a current 404 error page.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The domain scan-manga.com has existed for over 18 years with valid SSL and a clean hosting IP that shows no abuse reports. Our research found no scam complaints or malware flags, plus two positive trust evaluations from independent review sites. The site operates as an original manga aggregator rather than a clone or impersonator. Visual analysis captured a standard nginx 404 page, but this does not override the strong legitimacy signals from domain age and reputation data. Recent mentions of access issues on forums align with temporary server problems rather than fraud.

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 scan-manga.com and not a lookalike like s-can-manga.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.
