Black Dao Manga Novels & Stories

I checked this out ages ago because I loved the anime. Legally, it's a bit of a wasteland for 'Gangsta.' Last I saw, the digital license was held by Yen Press, but they pulled it from most storefronts a while back. You can sometimes find it on Amazon Kindle or ComiXology, but you have to buy individual volumes—no subscription service has it.

It's one of those series that just fell through the cracks. The author's health issues and the long hiatus probably complicated things. It's frustrating because you'd think a completed series would be more accessible, but it's weirdly scarce. I ended up buying the physical volumes secondhand.

Your best bet for a legal digital read is to check the Yen Press website directly and see if they list any current partners. Even then, don't hold your breath for a 'read online for free' option. It's pretty much a pay-per-volume situation if you can find it at all.

Alright, this is one of those questions that really depends on which series you're talking about, and frankly, neither has been a model of consistency.

For 'Gangsta', it's basically on indefinite hiatus, which is a real shame. The author, Kohske, has had serious health issues, so updates are non-existent for the foreseeable future. The last chapter came out years ago. It's a total limbo situation, and checking for updates is just an exercise in disappointment at this point.

'Black Dao'... now that's trickier because I think you might mean 'Black Clover'? If it's that, it's weekly and pretty reliable on the Shonen Jump app. But if there's some other 'Black Dao' manga out there, I've got no clue on its schedule. Might be one of those manhwa that updates whenever the artist feels like it. The vagueness of the title itself makes it hard to give a straight answer.

Black Dragon' (or 'วิศวะสายจุ กินดุนะคะ') is one of those hidden gem BL manhwas that deserves way more attention! If you're hunting for it online, I'd recommend checking out official platforms like Meb or Tappytoon first—supporting creators is always the best move. The art style has this gritty, moody vibe that perfectly matches the story's rebellious energy, and the chemistry between the leads is chef's kiss.

If you're okay with unofficial routes (though I always advocate for legal reads when possible), some fan communities on Discord or Tumblr might have leads. Just be careful with sketchy sites—pop-up ads are the worst! Last I checked, there were a few Twitter threads discussing where to find translated chapters, but availability changes fast. The mix of engineering school drama and underground fighting rings makes this series stand out—it’s like if 'Skins' had a Thai BL lovechild with a mecha anime.
