Western scanlation:
- Manga-Updates: Obvious. The central hub of English scanlation
- Ritual Scan Forge: "Heiji-sama" posts up-to-date info on new and future volumes, and uploads color pages of major magazine, frequently before the full scans come out
- MangaHelpers - Otaku Shoten: The same guy also mirrors his posts here
- MangaHelpers - New Manga Shout-out: Contributors provide summaries for series that are overlooked. Updated every Monday.
- Cover-Land: Mirrors volumes from Share and Perfect Dark to Megaupload
- Raw-Scans: Some raws that may not be available on CL, Share or PD
- Rawmanga: Yet more volume raws. I think this guy contributes most of the volumes found on Share
- Lightnovel.cn Manga Announcement Area: Chinese scanlation is decentralized, but this is the closest thing to a hub around. Scanlation groups, not limited to Lightnovel.cn (the big daddy of Chinese scanlation), posts there
- Baidu - Tieba Boards: Baidu hosts boards, called "tieba". If it's being scanned by the Chinese, you can bet that there's a tieba on the manga. They obviously don't go by the English names, so you'll have to enter the Chinese name. Also note that Baidu is Chinese government-owned, so each post is scanned for anything that may go against their censorship:
K3 - 2chan/4chan-style board for sharing manga (Japanese or Chinese scans)- TWBBS - Chinese equivalent for /a/ (link goes to manga board)
- 2ch: Well, no shit. Link goes to manga board
- xrea hashes: the most recent, confirmed hashes on Share/Winny; they're copied from the 2ch thread following Share updates
- Recomic: Japanese DB for manga
- Natalie.mu: General manga news (well, it may be a few days late)
