This point carp is confusing and doesn't tell me what I am buying or what I am getting. Sorry Jmanga until you can explain simply what I am getting you will not get my eyes or my money.

When I spend money I expect access. It seems you model is selling limited access based on points. No where did I see what my points would get me on your site if I subscribed, So no eyes and no money Until you sort this out and explain exactly what my money gets me simply you won't get my money or attention. This points system is retarded if it can't be explained in a few words in a prominent place on your website.

Consider this feedback.

The point system works in that you can either buy points or have a monthly subscription that will give you a certain number of points per month. (i.e. 8.99 a month gives you 1000 points that stack every month(if you don't spend those points that month, you don't loose them)) You can then use those points to buy manga to read on their online reader. From what I can tell, you also have unlimited access to those manga that you purchase. For example, if you purchase 1000 points for $10, and find a manga you would like for 499 points, you use the points to unlock access to read it on their online reader, leaving you 501 points left to spend. According to ANN, they are also working on an iOS/Android app for offline reading on those devises.

You buy points and use points to buy unlimited access to manga volumes. It's not any worse than Chuck E Cheese charging you for tokens to play their games.

When you spend money, you get the equivalent (or more, if you sign up for one of our subscription packages) in JManga points, which you can use to purchase manga, the prices of which are clearly displayed on the page for each series/volume.

Well, there you have it, a simple explanation. Money and attention would now be appreciated. Cool
