| According to their official news, JManga has extended the site's accessibility to be worldwide. They will be holding a promotion from March 1st-4th during which time those who sign up for a paid subscription receive up to twice as many points for use on the site. Source: JManga news |
| haven't check the website yet but as a fan i can say that it's a good thing. |
| Read the news yesterday or so, didn't get the layout, what's with the point system? |
| I'm not sure I get the point of this... how much money goes to the mangaka and how much goes to the website? Do they only have official scanlations? If so why wouldn't I just buy the physical copy? I must be missing something. |

VioLink said: >Paying to read manga online. IMG my thoughts exactly. not only that, but they have the worst model out there in my opinion, point based stuff always seems to be the bane of their users, should have gone with a normal flat monthly rate (with a discount for buying more months in advance) like most places do. |
| I would use that service if there was actually something I really wanted to read from there. |

Carmine said: That's what I thought when I went on it. I don't want to pay to use an ugly site.The site looks horrible, I aint gonna pay for that, free/illegal alternatives have a better and a more organised site. |
 |
| I looked at it when it first opened still not interested. I'd rather pay for print material it lasts longer plus I can read it whenever I want to without worrying about internet connection. Junky site confusing point system. They should have made it similar to Crunchyroll where you can read all you want for a month~a year. So I'm sticking to my scans sites and buying manga from the store. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I think I'll stick to reading online for free, thanks. |
| worldwide you say... so that means it's accessible in North Korea? |
| Whoa. what a horrible 90s design. they really need some good web designers. i can do the job if they hire me. |

| I prefer buying paperbacks. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Reading manga online takes off better if it ships off occasional free stuff, similar to what shonen jump alpha is doing and still giving out yugioh cards in its subscription(which sometimes, the yugioh card in the issue itself is worth more than the actual issue). |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
GaZsTiC said: >Points based. Ehhh. Someone explain. How much does one point get you and what is its equivalent in money. Basically 100 points is $1 If you sign up now for $10 you get 1,000 points plus 500 points as a bonus. It looks like they are having some sort of sale since I checked a couple titles and each volume is 499 points. If you get the $10 plan you can buy 2 volumes of any manga. |

 |
| I hate reading manga online anyways, I'll just stick to buying the physical releases. |
| well they mostly have manga that isnt in english-go-buy-at-bookstore form yet. but i do agree about the points system. |
 |
| I'll subscribe if they continue Hyakki Yakoushou And why is their yaoi more expensive than DMG's? *sadface* |
 |
| well i hardly read manga to begin with so.... |
     |
| I'll stick to the other manga websites. |
| They don't really have anything that piques my interest so I'll stick with free instead. |
| I'm not sure if you guys know this but the majority of uploaded manga they have hasn't been scanned yet so you guys can only read most of those only on that site because it isn't available anywhere else |
 |
| I just tried to read some previews (at least 20) on the site and not one of them was available for my region. What's the point in making the site accessible worldwide if the titles aren't? |
 |
| I just stick to Buying physical copys of manga i really enjoy, and download the rest. |

 |
| I very much prefer buying the physical copies than digital. The fact that me and my friend are too lazy to buy Awkward Silence from JMANGA, but are so hyped about buying the physical copy from SubLime. Having the digital copy doesn't seem as valuable as having it in paperback. |
 |
| I guess that's good news. I mean, I don't find anything that they have interesting, or if I did, I wouldn't pay to read it if I could help it, so this doesn't really apply to me... But I'm sure this news has made someone's day. ^^V |
