Legal Manga Hosting Sites

Right so as a general rule I tend to leave my addblock off specifically for Youtube, mostly because I generally don't watch a video immediately anyway so it's not like they affect me that much. However today by complete accident the adds showed something completely relevant to me for like the first time ever. An amazing 3D trailer for friggin Tower of God. Yes, I'm serious, that exists and it is awesome looking and makes me want more.

After much searching and trying to figure out what the hell that was, I tracked this trailer down with a bit of aid, because for some reason clicking on the link rather than taking me to the original video, took me instead to a manga streaming site, and attempting to search for the ad directly on Youtube were fruitless initially, even when I went to the youtube page of the site directly.

Hilariously Tower of God is not the only 3D ad for this site that they showed, there's another one for Nobelesse that I can't even find at all, you just might occasionally see it when watching Youtube videos.
Anyway, I'm a bit off track, and I'm not really here to talk about that ad, but instead the site in question that it was for.

The site in question that this ad I found was for? Has legal approval for hosting manga, and even has a channel with a few videos apparently directly from a few of the authors in question that says as much here:

This is the one specifically from the Tower of God author saying his Manga can be found translated on said site:

And this site in question is here:

http://www.webtoons.com/

The site has a few relevant manga at least current up and translated, in particular Tower of God and The Gamer both of which I read, however being a legally translated site they appear to be a bit behind in a few cases, particularly in the Gamer's case were it hasn't hit 30 as of yet when I know there are about 62 out there.

Since this site apparently has legal approval however I thought it would be a good idea to share it in order to help these legal sites gain more traffic and grow so that they can translate and catch up to more manga in general. More legal alternatives can only be a good thing in the long run, so if you find the sites to your linking and notice a series you might want to start rereading or otherwise start getting into, considering trying them on these websites as an alternative.

As such I decided to create this thread mostly so people could list legal hosting sites for manga that we could use. Feel free to list more such sites that people could use as needed.

Can't think of many. Crunchyroll I suppose.

And technically that would be manwha, not manga.

Same words, different pronunciations. Po-tay-toes, po-tah-toes. Or you can just use the Chinese differentiation where everything that's not from Japan is Manhwa, and everything from Japan is Dongman (anime in other words).

I think the Koreans might see some difference. And if you're going to that site and it's there for manwha, you're not going to be able to read many manga there.
