Scanlation Groups
This is far from a comprehensive list, and alas, does not include many great defunct groups.
On this page, “fantasy” is cross-genre (shoujo and shounen) and includes science fiction, while “adventure” is shorthand for adventure series that aren’t shounen. Also, the listed “notable manga” are skewed towards shoujo.
