This page collects the Korean manhwa that fans still connect with Reaper Scans, the English scanlation group that closed in 2025. For every title we list the genre, the status and the official place to read it, so you can follow the story without unsafe mirror sites. We checked each listing against publisher pages and databases such as MyAnimeList and MangaUpdates in November 2026.
Which manhwa did Reaper Scans translate?
Reaper Scans focused on action and fantasy manhwa: regression, hunter, tower and game-system stories. It was founded in 2019 and translated both webtoons and web novels before it shut down, according to The Outer Haven. The group’s own catalog is offline, so the list below is based on the series readers search for together with “Reaper Scans” (our Google Search Console data) rather than on an official archive.
Some of these titles may never have been on Reaper Scans at all. People often confuse the many scanlation groups that covered the same popular series. What matters today is that most of them now have a licensed English version you can read safely.

What are the most popular Reaper Scans manhwa?
The most searched titles are Overgeared, Nano Machine, Solo Leveling and Return to Player. Overgeared alone brings more search clicks to this site than any other series. All four have long-running official English editions, so you can start from chapter one legally.
Solo Leveling
Solo Leveling, by Chugong with art by the late Jang Sung-rak (DUBU) of Redice Studio, follows Sung Jin-woo, the weakest hunter, who gains a system that lets only him level up. The webtoon ran on KakaoPage from 2018 to 2021, and the English edition is on Tapas and Tappytoon. Read our Solo Leveling reading guide.
Overgeared
Overgeared follows Grid, a down-on-his-luck gamer who becomes a legendary blacksmith in a virtual reality game. The webtoon by Redice Studio runs in English on Tapas, and Ize Press publishes print volumes. See our Overgeared series guide for the reading order.
Nano Machine
Nano Machine mixes martial arts with science fiction: an orphan in a demonic cult gets nanomachines from a descendant in the future. The official English webtoon has been on WEBTOON since 2020. More in our Nano Machine guide.
Return to Player
Return to Player follows Sehan Kim, who goes back in time to replay a deadly game the gods forced on humanity. It ran on Naver Webtoon from 2020 to 2026 and is complete in English on WEBTOON. Details in our Return to Player guide.
Is Tapas shutting down, and what happens to these series?
Yes. Kakao Entertainment announced on September 22, 2026 that Tapas will close, and Anime News Network reports that service ends in March 2027. Kakao is moving its content to KakaoPage, according to Anime Corner. If you follow Overgeared, Pick Me Up or Kill the Hero on Tapas, watch for official announcements about where the English editions move. Buy print volumes from Ize Press or Yen Press if you want a permanent copy.
Reaper Scans manga vs manhwa vs manhua: what’s the difference?
Manhwa are Korean comics, manga are Japanese and manhua are Chinese. Reaper Scans mainly worked on Korean manhwa, which is why people search for both “reaper scans manga” and “reaper scans manhwa” for the same titles.
| Term | Country | Typical format | Reading direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manhwa | South Korea | Full-color vertical scroll (webtoon) | Top to bottom |
| Manga | Japan | Black-and-white pages | Right to left |
| Manhua | China | Often full-color vertical scroll | Top to bottom |
Many popular manhwa start as Korean web novels. That is why some groups, Reaper Scans included, translated both the novel and the webtoon of the same story.
Which “Reaper” titles do people confuse with Reaper Scans?
Several unrelated series and groups have “Reaper” in their names. None of them is the Reaper Scans group, so don’t treat search results for these names as a new Reaper Scans site.
- Reaper of the Drifting Moon is a Korean martial arts web novel and manhwa that ran on KakaoPage. MangaUpdates lists it as licensed in English, but no English platform was confirmed when we checked, so look on KakaoPage first.
- Reaper’s Stand and Reaper’s Resurgence are titles readers search for alongside the group name. Search for them directly on WEBTOON, Tappytoon or KakaoPage instead of on mirror sites.
- “Grim Reaper Scans” and “Grim Reapers Corps” aren’t the original Reaper Scans team. Sites using these names are unofficial.
How do you find a series that isn’t on this list?
- Search the English title on WEBTOON, Tappytoon and KakaoPage.
- Search the title on MangaUpdates and look at the “Licensed (in English)” and “English Publisher” fields.
- If an official publisher is listed, buy or read it there. If not, add it to your wish list and check again later.
- Never install an app or APK from a site that claims to be “the new Reaper Scans”.
For safe reading options with prices and apps, see our Reaper Scans alternatives guide. To understand why the group disappeared, read what happened to Reaper Scans.
