「漫画を作る楽しみを、あらゆる人に」 漫画。それは人に何かを伝える為の優れた伝達手段。 コマに描かれたキャラクターやふきだしにより、即座にイメージを伝える事ができます。 この最高の伝達手段である漫画。 果たして人と人とのコミュニケーションに活かしきれているでしょうか。 これまで、各種SNSのスタンプ機能などにより、イメージを伝える為の手段は発達してきました。 ただ、「漫画によってコミュニケーションを取る」というところまでは至っていないのが現状です。 ぼくたちはこの現状を打破し、「漫画によるコミュニケーション」を確立し、世界中に広めたいと考えています。 そこで開発したのが、Mangaryです。 Mangaryは、タップで作れる漫画アプリ。 絵を描く必要は一切ありません。 アバターのようにパーツを組み合わせてキャラクターを作成し、ふきだしを付ければ、誰でも簡単に漫画を作る事ができます。 ぼくたちは漫画の持つ「伝える力」を信じ、これをコミュニケーションに活かしたいと考えています。 漫画を作る楽しみを、あらゆる人に。 これからも進化し続けるMangaryに、ぜひご期待ください。

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Manga Relay at none against Mangary's shown. Manga Relay also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Mangary's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mangary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manga Relay has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Mangary's written reviews are positive against 100% of Manga Relay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
