### 4/5 — Great stories available

*2025-11-12*

There’s plenty of wonderful stories, but with how it feels a little to greedy idk. Wish they would make it more like tapas so years later if I want to reread a story I don’t have to repurchase it, oh well.

### 1/5 — Pay to read

*2025-04-12*

You have to pay to read chapters want to catch up or read a full new series open up your wallet or look for a different manga viewer

### 1/5 — Subscription model works

*2025-03-30*

These companies only care about money I understand that in japan this works but if they want their app to be usable and consumer friendly a subscription type model will work better

### 1/5 — Tickets to read

*2025-02-24*

Thought i would be a normal reader app but nope you have to purchase tickets to read anything on this app. I wouldn’t recommend this app

### 2/5 — Purchases are NOT permanent

*2025-01-22*

Be aware before spending any money. Chapters unlocked via real $$ are only unlocked for 7 days. I should have checked the other reviews before spending money. Won’t make that mistake again. Unfortunate since this could have been a good platform with a variety of exclusive titles that I would otherwise happily spend money on. There is of course the option to spend your time via ads unlocking free chapters if you aren’t in a position to spend money. Also, if you can keep up with a series there is a good free chapter buffer of the 3 newest chapters.

### 1/5 — Bit of a scam really

*2025-01-18, version 3.2.2*

Save your money and buy hard copies.

Good library of manga, but you have to buy tickets to read a chapter and it is only a “rental” that relocks the chapter in a week.  Want to re-read a manga? Open your wallet again…

One would think that if you are paying money to read something, you’d unlock it permanently.

### 4/5 — Echt gut eigentlich

*2024-08-16*

Ich mag die ab sehr und Werbung kommt auch gar nicht vor nur so ganz kurze die dauern auch nicht lange doch ich würde es gerne mögen wenn du die mangas auch in anderen Sprachen lesen kannst

### 2/5 — Great app but the tickets are ridiculous

*2024-08-11*

I do understand that a app developer would like to profit from the app but even when you watch adds you need to watch for a long time for a 1 chapter, although the first 3 chapters are free just to immerse you into it but i personally think I won’t be using this app.

### 1/5 — Absolutely ridiculous prices for a single chapter.

*2023-12-09*

I can’t even get a single ticket from watching an ad that lasts over two minutes! This is absolutely ridiculous. Honestly didn’t realize an app could get worse than happy or tapas but these greedy people somehow managed it.

### 1/5 — Tickets

*2023-07-27*

To unlock episodes you need tickets, 10 tickets per episode, and you need to watch like 3 30 second videos to earn 1 single ticket, or you can take surveys or complete tasks to get free tickets which is a waste of time since it doesn’t even work, tried 10 different things, took hella surveys and haven’t earned a single ticket, they just want your money don’t bother with this.
