This diversification into webcomics caters to a broader audience interested in digitally native comic formats, often characterized by their full-color, vertical-scroll design.
Mangamo’s Platform and Accessibility
Mangamo operates as a mobile manga subscription service, providing ad-free, unlimited access to its licensed content. The app first launched for iOS devices in the U.S. and Canada in April 2020, followed by a worldwide Android version in November 2020. New chapters are uploaded daily, and users can read manga either from left to right or by scrolling vertically. The service also incorporates a coin system, allowing readers to purchase the latest chapters of manga for US$1 per 10 coins. A “Plus” membership offers unlimited access to over 50 exclusive titles and thousands of chapters for a monthly subscription fee, typically US$4.99, though costs may vary by region. Many series also offer free chapters for readers to try before subscribing or purchasing.
