MT Intelligence
The domain has been registered since June 2021 (approximately 1,816 days old) and maintains a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. Our antivirus network detected no malicious or suspicious flags across 93 engines, and the hosting IP shows no abuse history. Independent review aggregators rate the site as safe, and Reddit users in manga communities recommend it as a legitimate reading platform. The primary concerns are cosmetic: the screenshot capture was incomplete due to slow rendering, and users report occasional 504/524 errors and display glitches. These are typical operational issues for ad-supported free manga sites, not indicators of fraud or malware. The privacy-protected WHOIS registration is common among content sites but does obscure the operator's identity.

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 yaoiscan.com and not a lookalike like y-aoiscan.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.
