The coins system is bad. A monthly subscription would be much better. Paying for a digital currency to unlock chapters is pointless. You would be better off just buying the physical/digital volume. Also it would be good to make the latest chapters free for people who have caught up to the series.
Now can read manga with consistent release and without any worries. This application also has wide range of collection. Just a little bit of suggestion, if possible, after spending some point/exp/coins for the chapter, it can be free for longer. At least until next chapter release. Personally, I used to take a look for the previous chapter before read new chapter, just to make sure the continuity of the story. But in overall, I’m satisfied with this app.
the app is great and it limits your form reading all day because I normally read Manga’s for lik 3 to 7 hours if it’s that long but now I only read for 30 minutes and it makes me take some time of my phone and let me study and do my homework so I would recommend downloading this app if anyone is reading this
You get 40 points every 12 hours (resets at 8am/pm JST) Depending on the series it may be a whole chapter or 4 chapters which is perfect for light reading. These chapters are unlocked for 3 days. The in-app purchases isn’t the best since it’s rental only, you’re better off buying the whole digital volume if you like to binge or wanna re-read.
A typical corporate manga reader. It lacks vertical scrolling options, but the manga selection is good. It’s pay-per-chapter, which is fine, but they split every chapter into parts to squeeze you dry. Sometimes it’s two parts, other times it’s three. So if you do purchase their in app currency, it’s only about half as valuable as it seems, about 15 USD for 12 chapters. It’s literally cheaper to buy an ebook if they’re available. Of course, since it’s got some exclusives, ebooks won’t happen.
Its really good but you need some points when i download this app i have 40 points and if you read some of comic in chapter 1 it’s only free but in the next chapter you some points 😢💔😿
1st its not suitable to read on phone, please make the pictures bigger when I put it on horizontal instead of show me 2 pages. If there’s a combined page that use space of 2, then you may increase 1 more page to show us what it look like when combined. 2nd All the UP and XP should be use to encourage me to pick new series and when I use coin please make it permanent, so I can reread it any time anywhere. At present condition it doesn’t make me want to pay the money at all.
App itself is functional. However the monetization set up is unreasonable. Anything you “unlock”, even with real money, is only unlocked for several days. On top of that, “chapters” are split into quarter parts and you must spend “credits” to unlock them individually.
This app is way to overpriced and you can only read the chapters you PAID FOR for 3 days! I don’t mind paying to support the authors and artists but if I paid I don’t think there should be a time limit. They break a chapter down to 4 or 5 small sections and there’s no way to buy in bulk so its really distracting from reading to have to stop every 12 pages. Waste of money
Nice selection of manga, awful system to read them. You’ve got three different kinds of currency to use to read chapters which doesn’t even unlock them permanently. It also seems like they needlessly take a single chapter and spread it out into three sub chapters, so you have to unlock multiple ones to even get a full chapter. Really was looking forward to reading some of these from an official source, but I’ll just find them for free online instead.
Easily the worst manga app. The chapters are released in parts so you have to pay multiple times to read a single chapter and to top it off chapters arent released simultaniously with japan AND the separate parts are released days apart from each other. What a horrible experience. Hopefully scanlators pick up certain series again because i never want to use this app again if possible.
It shows nothing, like the app can’t connect to their database or something, but it doesn’t explain what is going on or that anything is going on. Just looks like I can’t have access to any content. But it still allows me to put credits. Is this how it works? Do I need to put credits to see what’s available? Or this app doesn’t properly work with my phone or geographic region? I cannot tell. I feel it’s rough on a developer to receive one star, but literally nothing works.
A great App for reading Manga legally and supporting the creators. However each chapter is divided into multiple parts which requires u to pay to read everytime. The cost is pretty expensive and only has a few pages and only seems to last 3days. Why would there be a time limit when I paid to read??? Please fuse the chapters into one them release it and charge a slightly larger fee than making us pay multiple times for a single chapter. Remove the time limit as well if I use coins to purchase
Downloaded because the website said a manga I wanted to read was an app exclusive after downloading it the manga is nowhere to be found on it.
The application is okay, but the coin system is not. You CANNOT own any chapter here, even after purchasing it with coins (paid with real money). You simply RENT them for a period of time, and after that duration is up, you need to purchase it again with UP/XP/Coin to read them (yes, you are still renting them). The developer or the publisher need a new business model.
Updating my earlier review. They improved the terrible censorship to mild censorship. The only remaining problem is the coin system. A subscription would be a better offer, similar to shonen jump. But you get some free coins each day so its alright. But that basically amounts to reading 2 chapters or less a day after you read the free chapters because they break up each chapter into multiple parts. The prices are pretty high for coins so I cant give this a higher score.
I like the way it working but the exp point and the free book point just not enough the exp is ok but can you make the free book point increase to 80 or 60 point a day 🤔it’s hard to read without the point and if you can make each 3 chapter that has been read,you can get additional 10 exp it’s more cool to get that way and more progres for the reader to catch the next chapter
The manga quality is great, but that’s as far as it goes. They have some heavy monetization on series (20+ paid only) that they arent contending with unofficial scans for. I hoped for them to be a reliable source of manga as well, but they actually seem to suspend series – without telling you what the series are and you can only find out if you paid premium currency for it? Too heavy monetization to recommend the app.
1 stars, enjoy the ui experience, dont care the quality of the image unless still readable if i zoom it, search and filtering function is nice, almost same of azuki,manga plus and jump, better than comikey which looks cluttered idk. Down side is the censorship and coins and renting it for 3 days though. Im sold out if its subscription based and no censorship, that made me sold out to azuki and jump.
It’s great if it supports the artist but clearly you won’t get any readers charging for something as overpriced as this… people would gladly play a dollar worth if they can read content that can be digested for 45 minutes… instead, we get 5 minutes worth of chapters for the same fricking price. Not to mention the free reading option only gets you a single chapter a day… Remember, your readers can read this stuff for free somewhere online… You’ll lose nothing charging at cheaper prices.
I don’t know why you suspended some titles especially being your own originals. That sucks because I love the UI to your app, but you took the only title that kept me using this app away. Most of the other popular titles can be found elsewhere and at a cheaper rate such as a VIP option or Free full chapters. Your PPV option is a crazy model considering you don’t even get the full chapter. Due to this and the recent suspension of series I’ve lowered my rating and will be removing the app…
Currently they removed: Goblin Slayer (and it’s spin-off series) Vermeil in Gold (What the heck) These are what I know so far for the series that have been removed from the app. Sadly this makes Manga Plus look better in comparison. Since they don’t have you pay to read, splitting chapters into sub chapters, having you pay for currency to use in their app, block you from reading a chapter because they don’t have a release date on it and want you to spend real money to access any chapter. Bad
As a platform it works well and has a good library with awesome series. The UP and XP system is terrible and I would prefer a simple monthly subscription service.
2 stars or 3? I have mixed feelings…. Pros: ->You get to read 4 chapters for free daily! Available for ~3 days •->By paying, you can unlock further chapters (also 3 days)__Cons: •->The 4 chapters are NOT 4. Each chp is divided into 2-3 parts, sometimes more •->Buying Volumes is more efficient over the amount you’re paying for LIMITED access •->The page quality is really low. Probably the same if not worse than “Bookwalker” •->Chapters are way behind serialization (courtesy of the divided chps)
This app is terrible. The free teir of reading gives you 4 chapters every 12 hours, but since they divide chapters into 10 page segments you actually get 1-2 (sometimes less) chapters every half day. If you buy their coins It costs $.20 in real world money to read 10 pages, so ~$1 per chapter. Not worth the money since Shonen Jump is a $2 per MONTH subscription and you can read 100 chapters A DAY. If SE wants to support creators do a subscription or just publish English volumes as a whole.
This is such a great app, but the game u just made is overpriced it’s not even good😕 it’s just some 3d game but the price is too much lol
app is getting better. censorship is no longer an issue. however, the split chapters model gets in the way of a positive experience.
Well my only problem is the chapter is getting chopped in 1 or 3 parts bruh It said we can read up to 8 chapters a day for free but in real its only like 3 to 4 chaptet. And the most annoying thing is sometimes the chapter is chopped from 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 to 3.9. I just want to know. Why? Bruh already used all the free coins but still not done reading 1 whole chapter
No Japanese option so I give 1 star (would have given 0 star if I could). The original Jp app that offers Mangas in original language isn’t available in the US so there’s no way to read them in my home language here. Why can’t they be like Pixiv Comic……..
I thought purchasing chapters would be permanent. I wanted to re read a manga I read a month ago and it wanted me to pay for the story again. It costs like $4 3 full chapters. I wouldn’t mind the price so much if unlocks were permanent.
The monetization is horrible. They give you 8 free chapters a day. Then split chapters in half. This comes off as greedy and makes me want to never spend money. They should look at the viz manga apps and take note how they monetize. It’s much fairer and reasonable.
Downloaded the app to read manga only they have, which it shows on the website. It did not show up in the app at all
Overpriced app that allows you to rent manga for 3 days. Costs a premium to see newest issues. Horrible release schedule even for already completely translated series. Badly machine censored.
Thr coin system is garbage. Plus, you’re paying money to see content from japan but don’t get the exact content(except translations) its slathered with changes that is unnecessary. Theres a lot of good alternatives or just go pirate. Don’t waste money in this scam of an app.
Bought coins one day, just for the next to have them raise the price to read something, but left the amount of coins I purchased the same. Will no longer be putting any money because of this.
Okay, you got rid of the big black boxes, but you still use the sensored version of the manga. Give us a feature that allows us to see the mature content, including nudity for the love of God!
I’m all for paying to support artists, but the fact that you have to pay multiple times for one chapter is wild to me. Plus you can’t reread it again after a few days, you’d have to rebuy it 🤯
garbage, does not work on BlueStacks and the website forces you to use the app. I want to read on my PC, not some tiny cell phone screen.
Weird monetisation, I am ok if it’s rent if you use xp. But why it’s treated as rent if you paid via coin. At this rate, it’s better to be subscriptions.
After looking into the app I see a lot of issues. First and foremost the coin system is not good at all, it could be a lot better if the “purchases” of chapters with UP, XP and Coin were permanent instead of a 3 day rental, or if a subscription method existed to read everything. All the menus need a rework, between other things to arrange the manga in other ways on your page, not only by last chapter, because that way you only have fast access to new things, you can’t search older manga easily.
