Wish there was a place to read this in English in the US, but sadly Manga.club seems to be the only place with the English version, and they are region-blocking it here.

I marathoned this one a while ago, kinda has the same problem I had with Made in Abyss.

The author's fetishes and the gratuitous sexually charged content (similarly also using lolicon stuff) interrupting the otherwise engaging exposition and storytelling kinda had me having mixed feelings the whole ride. This one actually goes nearly hentai territory, it's far more towards the smut side of things (not unexpected, knowing the author's career at Comic LO).

Will read it to the end though, I had a feeling it was ending soon.

After seeing this article and learning about it having an english translation, I tried looking into why it's unavailable on Manga.club and did some research...

So the manga is actually not region-locked but was discontinued as far back as March 21, 2021! How I discovered this tidbit of news was by looking into the page's description hidden in the html code.

I also tried wayback machine and noticed that the "read for free" images for Legend of Heaven's Door also didn't work! So I tried testing every other manga that was still available on manga.club in wayback and learned the reason why that one manga wasn't working...

The images themselves were deleted off of Manga.club's cdn (content delivery network) as the images weren't archived on wayback, only directly linked.

This means the manga is truly unavailable for viewing no matter what.

Therefore I decided to contact Manga.club and they responded confirming that the series was discontinued due to their license being terminated.

I leave the official response below for anyone who sees or wonder into this thread:

Quote:
Dear 『 』

Thank you for your inquiry! We wish you're enjoying MANGA.CLUB.

Unfortunately, "Legend of Heaven's Door" has ended its distribution due to the termination of the contract by the publisher's decision.
Moreover, we are unable to confirm whether the translated content will be taken over by another company or where it can be read in the future (as it depends on the publisher's decision).

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and kindly ask for your understanding.

Have a nice day,
MANGA.CLUB Staff


Hopefully this series gets re-licensed and released somewhere else in the future!
*Internet points for you if you get the lil reference in the quote above, should be pretty obvious if you watched a certain anime that doesn't have season 2 yet!
