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.
