Caution
01. Service Nature: ShonenX does not host, upload, or own any of the media you see in the app. It's simply a frontend client—a glorified web browser. We do not have servers hosting anime.
02. APIs & Metadata: The covers, synopses, and schedules are pulled directly from public APIs like AniList, MyAnimeList, and Kitsu. ShonenX merely displays the metadata they provide.
03. User Extensions & Content: Any "extensions" or third-party sources you decide to install are entirely on you. ShonenX doesn't distribute copyrighted material or endorse piracy. Ensure you follow your local laws; we are not your lawyers. If you're a copyright holder looking to DMCA someone, please contact the extension developers or the host of the video files.
