    So I was in mangaupdates, and I noticed a new series has come out called Sugar Darling that looked interesting, translated by Salty Potato Trans. But, I couldn’t find it. Anywhere. I tried looking for SPT’s site, and everything I found was either blank or an error message. Has the translator(s) decided to take everything down or something? Does anyone know what the deal is? I’d appreciate any enlightenment.

    iirc salty potato was a tumblr translation group, their account might've gotten closed after tumblr banned explicit content?

    Well, idk about the details either, but it's something like that. They banned explicit stuff as far as i'm aware, and, idk if the translator had anything explicit, but considering they translated BL manga, chances are pretty high that they did.

    I also tried visiting their tumblr, and it does indeed act like other tumblrs did after they got banned, so they prolly did get taken down.
