Public pressure and Square Enix’s Manga Up removes the black stripes from its works, but will it go forward now? Manga Up is a new app to read manga officially that was launched recently, but what was supposed to be a reason for joy turned out to be a big headache for fans as the manga was censored at an absurd level.

But, it looks like this is the end of these absurd black stripes, as the Manga Up team recently shared a message with fans saying that this business has been removed from their manga:

No black stripes! You know, I think it’s cool when they make the characters themselves hide their private parts with their arms. Everything becomes more natural. Anyway, what do you think of the new Manga Up update?
