K MANGA for iPhone

I love it

I need moreeeee

Just about the worst platform in manga, run by old men who don’t care about anything but squeezing as much money out of the reader as possible. They gamify and gatekeep with no reasonable subscription models. Even when you spend a fortune on a series, the gamification gets in the way of doing a reread, because it doesn’t let you buy free chapters. Over complicated and needlessly clunky because they approach it like drug dealers stringing along a junky. In contrast, other platforms treat the reader with a modicum of respect and have simple subscriptions that are far more affordable. It’s not even the money at this point, it’s the absolute disrespect that this company shows their customers with their ethically questionable tactics. The only way to win here is to refuse to play.

THIS POINT SYSTEM IS SO TRASH ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY PLEASE FIX UR APP KODANSHA. WHY NOT JUST ADD A SUBSCRIPTION U ASK? ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID The point system in this app is honestly terrible. Instead of letting people simply read manga, it forces users to grind points just to unlock chapters. Nobody downloads a manga app because they want to farm points all day. People download it because they want to read manga. The system makes the entire experience frustrating and annoying instead of simple and enjoyable. The worst part is that you have to play random mobile games just to get enough points to read. This makes the app feel more like a scam ad platform than a manga reader. I should not have to download other apps and waste my time playing trash mobile games just to read a few chapters of manga. A subscription would make way more sense. Almost every other manga platform already understands this. Just add a monthly subscription and let people read normally. That would be simple, fair, and actually respect the user’s time. The current point system just pushes people away from the app. Right now the app feels like it cares more about forcing people to interact with ads and other games than actually letting people enjoy manga. The manga selection might be good, but the point system completely ruins the experience. Please remove this point system and just add a normal subscription option. It would make the app much better and people would actually want to use it.

Is this called fun…

Instead of offering a flat rate subscription to read however much the customer wants, this stupid system requires you to purchase points in order to spend on individual chapters. It's like they're asking for people to pirate their serializations. I would give it 0 stars if I could

I love this app, the manga are of good quality

Cash grabs like these are the sole reason pirating sites exist. It is a human’s natural instinct to pick the path of least resistance, and reading manga on a free site that can easily have dangerous ads and pop ups blocked by a $14.99/year subscription is most certainly the path any sane and intelligent human being would choose rather than paying what… $5.99/5 chapters for a 300+ chapter manga. I’m not a communist extremist, but this app is the type of capitalism the Soviet Union warned its citizens about.

Still not exactly sure I know how to unlock pages

Too many irritating things with this app but it has nothing to do with the content. It has a great selection of stuff and generous free chapters. I mostly wish it was a subscription to read all chapters instead of all the different ways to access chapters. The pop ups, while just showing other series on the app, are still annoying but at least they aren’t adds. The biggest pain is the page turning. I’m glad swiping isn’t the only way to turn a page but the margin to tap on the side of the screen to trigger a page turning is so narrow it’s too easy to flub. No manga reading apps are perfect and I’ll deal with the things I don’t like to read what I’m looking for but I would spend way more time on the app if the experience was better.
