As the service has been active now for some months, what are your impressions so far, those of you who've used it? Have they learned anything from their last foray operating such a platform?

If I was personally to describe their past manga service toward the end of its life, I'd best liken it to a dead fish on display. In room temperature. Staring at you with dead eyes. A week past it's Use By Date. Well, sure you could eat it, but taste would be horrible, and your stomache might give a second opinion..

Terrible service. They get these series with 100s of chapters and then only like the first 20 chapters are on their service. Why would anyone pay for their service for that. Absolutely ridiculous

A lot of Crunchyroll store physical manga has been out of stock and no longer being listed and no, not just the old titles. Hopefully their push to get people to pay for a higher tier subscription for digital manga isn't related to this.
