Oh, I just saw an ad for the Japanese version on the train today. They were advertizing Hozuki no Reitetsu and Attack on Titan, among others.

Let's see how the prices go. It would be nice to have something like this in a subscription format though... Crunchyroll like, but with a bigger selection. Very Happy

I just hope the site ends up being consistent, especially after disappointment as to how MangaBox and ComicWalker were handled(though at least MangaBox gets updated more, even though navigating is a pain).

Pretty cool. The existing LINE comic app works fairly well and has some cool stuff in it, so I'm sure this will be pretty cool as well.

I think this would correspond to the bugs that great technology has.

There are currently some good ones on the Line web comics site I found, but they are mostly manwha. (Girls of the Wild's is the biggest name.) I will definitely check this out when it is available here.
