There are two domains associated with 1stkissmanga: The 1stkissmanga.tv domain and the 1stkissmanga.io. We don’t know if they are both owned by the same company or if one of them is a spin-off. Both of them are a popular version of the 1stkissmanga site.
Some of our peers suggest that 1stkissmanga is known to deploy malware. In particular that they have seen rogue software from this domain. So we have inspected this site further based on those allegations and yet we still can’t find anything that would suggest this site is unsafe. It displays advertisements from Google. It uses push notifications, and while annoying, there’s nothing about them that is unsafe. Many large tech companies use push notifications; even Facebook and Google themselves.
We did not find any malware when visiting the 1stkissmanga.tv or 1stkissmanga.io domains. So you can browse those sites safely. However, that doesn’t mean the content you view on the website is necessarily legal. The manga displayed on 1stkissmanga could infringe copyright laws, so be careful in that regard.
Also, we found the domain to load slowly during out time of visit. This could be because the website itself is not developed as well as it might have been. In today’s day and age, this is somewhat of a red flag. But it doesn’t mean the site is unsafe; it is a suggestion that those who own the domain aren’t highly skilled at developing which could lead to potential problems regarding malware from third-party services they use. But this is just a warning sign and not a suggestion that there is any malware coming from third-party sources being used on the 1stkissmanga domain. If you don’t mind waiting for the webpages to load, we don’t see any problem using the 1stkissmanga.tv domain today.
Checking 1stkissmanga with SpyBot Search & Destroy
If you think that after you visited the 1stkissmanga domain, you have come up with some rogue software on your computer as some other sites have suggested might be a possibility, you can run an antimalware scan with SpyBot Search & Destroy. We have been using SpyBot Search & Destroy for over a decade because it’s terrific at finding anything — and I mean anything — on your computer that may be adware. And with a site like 1stkissmanga, the malware you are most likely to find is going to be related to adware. This could be anything from spyware to rogue software redirects. If you do notice being redirected to another domain, regardless of rogue software or any type of malware on that new webpage you have been redirected to, you ought to run a scan with SpyBot Search & Destroy to remove the redirect that is hijacking your browser.

In conclusion, we think 1stkissmanga.tv and 1stkissmanga.io are safe enough to visit today, as we did not notice any malware during our extensive visit. But be careful of similar domain names that are not owned by the same people. And if you notice your browser redirecting, run the antimalware scan with SpyBot Search & Destroy.

Which website is the peer that suggests this site is using rogue software? I have seen some screenshots but don’t know how real they are. It seems maybe months ago that some users were seeing rogue software via smartphone browsing. But I think that is now cleared up.
1stkissmanga has become increasingly popular for Manga. It could be that once upon a time they were using ads from untrustworthy ad networks. But this seems to be untrustworthy third-party sources creating the problems that they weren’t aware of. I have been using 1stkissmanga for months without any problems.

I have seen that screenshot, but it’s not the domain I was thinking of. A big banner in Bing says “Not Safe” when referring to the 1stkissmanga.tv domain. And the domain that claims it is unsafe is malware-guide.com.
When most people see Bing offer a large banner notice like that, they will assume it’s Bing validating the notion that the 1stkissmanga.tv domain isn’t safe. But my knowledge as a web admin tells me that Bing is just pulling that data from the domain it thinks has the best content. And I’m not really intimidated by that domain. I feel my knowledge and expertise can match it, and I have given my review on 1stkissmanga.tv with a contradicting view. But as mentioned, it could be that the 1stkissmanga.tv was unsafe previously and has cleared up its issues. And those issues may have been occurring because the web admins at 1stkissmanga.tv were accidentally displaying malware through third parties that they weren’t aware of. This is common and is most often rectified when the web admin starts to notice the malware themselves when they visit their own domain. But perhaps some malware is designed to hide from some webmasters which could be a reason for the delay.
