User reviews

It's not bad, but it's not great. The pricing alone is absolutely absurd. It's nice to be able to read stuff that isn't out/printed in the US yet. But having to pay $75 to get enough points to catch up on a recent manga I'm reading is a hard pass. If I'm paying that kind of money, I want the physical copy in my hands. I'll wait or find other means. I'd pay a subscription to read, even with cap chapters, like the SJ app. But I am not paying per chapter.

They have some good series but the system for reading them is too convoluted with free chapters, rechargable tickets. Premium tickets (which have expiration), and both free and premium points. On top of this, the monetization feels straight out of a scam mobile game with ads and quests to use other apps to earn points. Tons of popups and daily fomo psychology abuse. Extremely unprofessional feeling. Would strongly prefer a simple sub model to read everything instead of paying $1 to "buy" a chap

Skyler Colladay, 2024-11-28

The points/ ticket system is absolute garbage. I would happily pay for a monthly subscription to read manga (I pay for both WSJ and Viz Media). The amount of ads and convoluted language to read a chapter of manga is crazy. The selection seems great, but I can't enjoy it without paying hundreds of dollars or losing hours of my life waiting for annoying ads to finish. This is why online manga piracy is so bad.
