Hentai Haven is dead, long live Hentai Haven.
In the largely unexplored world that is the Japanese adult animation industry in the West, a schism recently occurred between two of the industry’s most prominent players. On Dec. 19, “hentai” (or sexually graphic anime) site Hentai Haven was immediately shut down seemingly out of nowhere. Fan reaction to this news was rampant and passionate .
The creator of Hentai Haven, who goes by the pseudonym PapaHH, elaborated on the details of this situation in a conversation this week with the Daily Dot.

“I had a credible threat of a lawsuit coming. Jacob informed one of my staff members about this and he, in turn, informed me. As soon as I heard of this, I immediately closed Hentai Haven. I had plans of closing Hentai Haven before that cause I felt Hentai Haven was going to get a lawsuit sooner or later,” he said. PapaHH is referring to Jacob Grady, the founder of FAKKU . FAKKU is the leading publisher of English-language hentai and fan comics known as “doujinshi.”
Although they deal in the same content, Hentai Haven and FAKKU are fundamentally different institutions. Where HentaiHaven uploads hentai videos without the consent of their creators, FAKKU has mostly attempted to stay on the right side of copyright laws by compensating creators of the content it hosts. The website made big news when it went subscription-based back in 2016 . However, FAKKU receives approximately only one-sixth of the traffic that Hentai Haven does, according to figures from traffic analytics company SimilarWeb.
Shortly after Hentai Haven’s shutdown, PapaHH announced that FAKKU had stepped in to help legitimize Hentai Haven and return it to full working order. On May 12, Hentai Haven was relaunched but details of PapaHH’s involvement with the website at this point were mostly unclear.
PapaHH broke his silence on Sunday through a statement on Hentai Haven’s main page, in which he accused FAKKU of taking over the site and dealing in shady business practices. “FAKKU has completely taken over and booted me out,” read the front-page message. “FAKKU played me like a cum-stained violin.”
PapaHH included the hashtag #HHisDead in his statement which both seemed to signal the death of the original website as people had come to know it and spurred the ire of many of the site’s original, dedicated community members.
Following this, Grady also released a statement in which he stated he still sought to legitimize Hentai Haven and properly distribute the income that the site generated. Although Grady did not explicitly mention PapaHH’s current involvement in Hentai Haven, it was clear that this was a direct refutation of PapaHH’s claims.

His words mostly fell on deaf ears, and the hentai civil war had commenced. Many fans of Hentai Haven saw FAKKU’s actions as a complete backstab. Where once FAKKU had appeared to be the savior of Hentai Haven in a dire situation, it had now placed the final nail in the website’s coffin.
Then, just as quickly as the news of supposed foul play broke, the conflict that seemed like it would permanently divide the American hentai market was over in the blink of an eye. Just one day after the behind the scenes drama concerning Hentai Haven’s relaunch was made public, PapaHH posted another public statement in which he said that Hentai Haven and FAKKU’s partnership was back on.
Alright, I talked to @largehotcoffee and settled things about HH. It’s looking good! pic.twitter.com/yn9WGtQfeG
“We had a talk in private and decided to work things out. It’s still ongoing, but all I can say is that it’s looking good for Hentai Haven,” PapaHH told the Daily Dot. “The plan is to license the video content from Japanese companies directly. It should be pretty straightforward as FAKKU already has the business contacts in place.”
This indicates that the plan to legitimize Hentai Haven’s content through the proper channels is still in effect.
When asked if he thought fans of Hentai Haven and those who had followed the tumultuous path of the original partnership would be wary of continued ventures between FAKKU and Hentai Haven, PapaHH was unsure: “Possibly? I can’t comment on that.”
However, he does seem to be optimistic as things move forward. “FAKKU does seem to want to work with me to fix our issues. So that’s a good sign. And ultimately, this is about going down a legal route towards hentai streaming—which is always a good thing,” he said.
And he’s correct. Profiting from pirated content is not a sustainable venture and amounts to robbing the original creators of their labor. Anime as a medium has long suffered inaccessibility due to licensing issues. The period of reform we’re in, as Hentai Haven once again partners with FAKKU to legitimize its business practices, is the only long-term way forward. Yet fans seem skeptical that the partnership will hold strong this time—and if Hentai Haven’s fans will be able to trust a company that, apparently in their minds, betrayed them in their time of need.

News

This story is being continuously updated (check update sections in the content)….
Just a few weeks after Tumblr announced a blanket ban on everything adult/NSFW/explicit , popular Japanese adult entertainment service Hentai Haven has also been shut down.
Yes, the service is dead. The official Twitter handle is also gone, although Facebook page exists. The official website wasn’t responding initially, but now it has the following message:
HH was born during a time when fansubs were pretty much dying. New shows were subbed weeks after release, most sites had lackluster interfaces and didn’t give a crap about the content they were putting out.
But as a wise man once said, every journey must come to an end – and unfortunately, it ain’t the happy kind this time. There’s plenty of options out there now. Fansubs are faster than ever. Streaming sites are better than ever. There’s no longer a real need for HH. We’ve done our part. Now it’s up to the rest of you to carry the torch.
Thank you for visiting and supporting us over the years. It’s been a wild ride. And you will all be sorely missed. Sayonara.
Of course, those who follow the service – a very large number of people I must say – are in for a shock. Many of the fans are taking to social media platforms like Twitter to share their thoughts on this sudden shut down. Take a look:

for so long i had hentaihaven's website in my bio and now its gone 💔
Rest in peace hentaihaven, you will be missed by many weebs. 😔
https://twitter.com/cytoscourge/status/1075978918002335744
Of course, there is this question that why this sudden shutdown? We at PiunikaWeb did some research for you, and found an anime news blog claiming that Russia could be behind this shutdown.
Yes, the website cites its sources who claim the Russian government did this in order to prevent their people from accessing Hentai adult content. The step was taken after Pornhub – world’s biggest adult entertainment site – recently revealed Russia is the biggest consumer of Hentai in the whole world.
Of course, there’s no official word from Russia or any credible source on this at the moment.
Moving on, a Twitter user shared a screenshot containing some text allegedly from the HH owner. As you can see in the screenshot below, the owner funnily claims the site is being shut down as they need to repay loan for their new fursuit.
Of course, this is least likely to be the real reason, and is possibly even not from the HH owner as well. So we suggest you don’t believe this.

Moving on, someone who claims they frequent a Discord group (where HH related discussion happen) said they got to hear this:
Well I’m in the discord server and we’re told the site will stay down and we all should stop asking about it. No joke, he basically told us to shut the f*&^ up and stop asking. We have been fed no info as to why it has been shut down as financial and struggle of power have been debunked many times. Doesn’t help that the Facebook and Twitter have also been deleted, so there is no way anyone can ask them what’s going on, let alone go to the Discord as they have disabled the ability to invite people in the Discord
Zom is reportedly one of higher ups at HH.
More screenshots containing info seemingly from HH discord community mods (click/tap to view full size):
The shut down could be because of legal reasons, as a few months back the service announced the demise of a tag due same reasons (screenshot courtesy Hartvigen ):
A legal issue sounds more probable than a financial one because there’s no point of shutting down or purging social media accounts due to lack of money.
Anyway, fans of YouTube’s most subscribed channel PewDiePie have been sharing these evidences for past few hours now:
A Hentai Haven alternative is already in the works, check out here (NSFW alert).
Seemingly, an anonymous 4chan member revealed that HH servers were hosted in Australia, and due to pornography content laws getting stricter in the country, the service is being shut down.
Turns out Google has been receiving quite a lot of copyright complaints against Hentai Haven lately.
Could this be one of the reasons behind the shut down?
The official HH merchandise store page has also been removed. So it seems like Hentai Haven has been almost completely wiped out from the Internet. We place our bets on legal issues being the reason.
Good news, the service may not be dead after all. To know more, head here .
Here’s PewDiePie’s reaction to HH shut down:

News

There are new updates that have been added at the bottom of the story…
So the whole Hentai Haven episode is apparently coming to a not-so-sad end for fans of the service. For those who aren’t aware, recently, the site switched off suddenly , taking along the HH Twitter handle as well as purging the Facebook account.
Given the kind of following the Japanese adult content service enjoys, a lot of users were surprised and annoyed.

A lot of theories started floating. From financial issues to copyright issues to legal problems, all kind of rumors were making rounds.

While the loan repay and PewDiePie stories weren’t true at all, no further concrete information on copyright and legal issues surfaced.
Then came news that Hentai Haven may not be dead after all . The original announcement on the official Henatai Haven website was edited to reveal that HH is being saved by Fakku.
While the official website still says the same, finally, there’s more good news, something which will be music to ears of HH fans. The service is back. All that’s changed is the domain name. Instead of the org extension, now you can access HH using the .me extension in the domain name.
If you go to the website, you’ll see a disclaimer at the top that says HH has been moved to this new domain name, while urging viewers to bookmark it.
We have some credible information that says sites like HentaiHaven.me are fake. New story with all details coming shortly . Details here .
Someone has uploaded a large collection of Hentai Haven videos on cloud. Check out our latest news story to learn more on this. Head here .
No new development has come to sight as Hentai Haven’s official website still throws the following notification.
Good news for Hentai Haven lovers. The site – hentaihaven.org – is now up and running.
