Terms of Service

Not Bagel is a publishing platform: anyone with an account can write and publish posts about anime, manga, manhwa, manhua, novels, and games. Authors own their words and are responsible for what they publish. By creating an account or publishing here, you agree to these terms.

Keep it legal and keep it safe-for-work. Not allowed, ever:

• links to pirate streaming or scan/scanlation sites (or embedding their players);
• uploading copyrighted manga pages, episode rips, or full scans;
• posting fan translations of licensed manga or novels;
• sexually explicit content of any kind — and absolute zero tolerance for sexual content involving characters who appear underage;
• hate speech or harassment targeting people for who they are;
• malware, scams, phishing, or deceptive links;
• spam, link-farming, or auto-generated filler.

Reviews, news, opinion, and original commentary are what this site is for — official promotional images and key visuals, used sparingly to support your writing, are fine.

If you believe content on Not Bagel infringes your copyright, email contact@notbagel.com with a link to the post and proof of ownership — infringing content comes down fast. Repeat infringers lose their accounts.

Every post, comment, and profile has a Report button — use it. We may hide or remove content and warn, suspend, or permanently ban accounts that break these rules, at our discretion. Content flagged by multiple trusted readers may be hidden automatically pending review.

You are responsible for everything published from your account, so keep your login to yourself. You must be old enough to use this site lawfully where you live. You can delete your account any time from Settings.

You keep full ownership of what you write. By publishing you give Not Bagel permission to host, display, and distribute your posts on the platform (that is what publishing is). Delete a post and that permission ends.

Not Bagel is provided as-is. We work hard to keep it fast and available, but we cannot promise uninterrupted service, and we are not liable for what users publish or for losses arising from use of the site.

We may update these terms as the site grows. Meaningful changes get a note on this page with a new date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it. Questions? contact@notbagel.com.
