Cool idea! I’ll sign up. Few UX things: * The page scroll at the bottom of my iOS Safari browser doesn’t work * Right to left makes sense for Japanese but if I’m reading it in English I’d expect the scroll to be Left to Right My free chapter if it’s series specific - https://www.azuki.co/series/edens-zero/read/c607c182-5317-4e...

Currently we are a middleman service for other publishers but we are looking into in-house translation.
To be honest, hearing that you're a middleman with a feature-rich client is very appealing.

However, I do appreciate your attention towards being kind and supportive to people!
Was excited but didn’t find Vagabond. Does anyone have a suggestion of something they do have if Vagabond is really my only toe dipped in manga?
Congrats on your launch! I have been an anime/manga fan for 30 years now, been following the development of the industry for a long time, and I have questions/comments. 1. Are Japanese producers interested in the foreign market now? How does this affect you? Piracy has been a phenomenon in the foreign market for a looong time, and for the longest time the Japanese weren't interested in the foreign market at all. Even…
About 1, one of the factors for renewed interest in expanding the reach of manga is that the Japanese government started paying very good money for it, over the last 10 years or so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Japan#Creative_Industries...
