When it launched, Mangamo was US/Canada only. This announcement is that it’s (almost) worldwide now.

But not on Android in Worldwide? Didn't most people in worldwide have smartphone and/or tablet with Android, which is more popular than iOS?

Anyway, there's no legal sites to read mangas from Shogakukan like Detective Conan, Komi-San Can't Communicate, Teasing Master Takagi-San, Maiko-San Chi no Maikanai-San(it does not have an official English), Sleeping Princess(same with Maiko-San).

You can read most of them legally online by buying the ebooks and Sleeping Princess is licensed by Viz? If you don't have extra money, you can support by reading it at your local library? Komi-san is fairly popular enough that smaller library systems would probably have it.

If you're in Southeast Asia, Komi-san is distributed by Shogakukan Asia at a lower price than Viz but its the same version on the inside.

Hmm, via the previous announcement's thread, animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3149629 here's a statement that an Android app is in development: https://twitter.com/mangamoapp/status/1250458598661996546?s=19

Wild guess, could it be that sufficient content protection to please the IP owners is easier to implement on Apple devices?
