Kodansha’s online magazine MiChao! is ending
Mangaka Manabe Jouji wrote on his blog that he has been informed by a Kodansha editor that their online manga magazine MiChao! will be closing. MiChao! currently has at least 54 serialized manga running on their site, covering a vast array of genres.
It’s free to read the manga for the first three weeks after the chapter is put up, and they’d release manga to cellphones first. But their site actually requires readers to register for an account before being able to read anything, unlike some other sites.
Manabe was going to start serialization on MiChao! starting from next month, but now that they’re closing, his manga isn’t going to get published anymore, though they’ll still pay him for what he has done.
Satou has been looking for mangaka to join his online manga site and now there are a ton of mangaka who are free to join!

I’ve never read anything on MiChao. Mainly because of the need to register an account.
