K MANGA Hack 1.2.5 + Redeem Codes

I can’t believe they’re using some kind of bizarre point system to read chapters. Maybe that works in other parts of world but this business model does not work in the west. At least if the newest chapters were free it would be ok. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t create subscription service instead of basically charging $1 for each chapter that you read. Whoever decided that this point system was ok isn’t familiar with business practices in other parts of the world. If K manga had some subscription service I was already ready to pay a monthly fee. What makes this look even worse is Viz just released a $2 a month subscription that I didn’t know was coming out the day before this mess! I signed up for Viz immediately. Even if K Manga charged $5 per month it would be acceptable since they offer a lot more new content. One possible solution for the time being is lowering their points to read a chapter from 99 points to 5 points. Having simultaneously translated work is amazing but they need to create a better way to charge for it. They can’t stop piracy if they don’t make it affordable.

For an app that is a basic ebook reader and ebook shop, the method and service the app uses is so unpleasant it makes me simply not want to read the series published. The app lets you buy a volume of manga for essentially the same price as any other digital retailer except you use points instead of money and you have to buy each chapter individually.
The points are simple enough as 99 points = 99 cents but the tickets are the real disaster. For one ticket each day you can read one chapter of a series. This is not only a nightmare for binge reading but so off putting that I’d rather either go somewhere else and read the volume of manga in its entirety or skip the series all together.
The other problem with the tickets is that only a certain number of chapters are free to read with the tickets so if you weren’t planning on buying a later volume of a series you have either wait months or a year for those chapters to enter their “free period” or go somewhere else which would not only be faster but you could read it much sooner.
The service is so needlessly strange I’d rather buy the same product from someone else instead of dealing with this nonsense.

Ignoring the actual quality of the comics, The business model is just strange. You get one free chapter per day, per comic, not including whatever chapters are free. Ok, cool. Except the most recent chapters are PAID only. And while this isn’t unheard of (I.e, webtoons fast pass system) this is limited to 3-5 chapters at most. Some of these comics are pay locked behind the last 20 chapters or more. Coming out to nearly a dollar per chapter, with very little ways to generate enough free points, unless you read absolutely INSANE amounts of manga it’s barely any cheaper than buying physical copies. Compare this to SJs 3$ a month for their entire vault? Not worth it. I’m not even saying that they shouldn’t charge more for their manga. I think the app could maybe be worth it as high as 10$ a month if it had SJs model. But paying nearly physical price for digital comics, without being able to read up to date comics for free? No thanks. I wouldn’t mind ads, paying a little bit, etc. But this is an egregious amount just for the right to simulpub.
Plus apparently they’ll even split up some chapters in to two parts so you have to pay twice as much for longer chapters? Insane.

I was reading my manga online somewhere else. Heard about this app and updates will happen here going forward. Cool, come on over to learn of a point and ticket system. That’s fine, as long as everything is fairly cheap with points and tickets it shouldn’t be that bad. The newest chapter I wanted to read was 99 points and the watch a free ad doesn’t give you 50 points, it’s only a chance at 50 points. I watched 3 ads and only got 15 in total so I imagine getting 50 is pretty rare. I looked on the shop to see how much it would be and even tho it’s only a dollar for 148 points and I could read the chapter, I’d rather go look else where for it. Not gonna spend the money to read updates, if new chapters were 5 points it wouldn’t be that bad. This is also only for a manga I currently keep up with, what if I wanted to read something new? Sure they have free chapters but eventually your gonna have to spend points to read farther. Seems like a waste, I’m sure you can find it elsewhere if you look. You can also purchase the books online, purchasing digital chapters isn’t the play.

I was looking forward to K Manga’s release, because Kodansha has most of the titles and series that I really love, but this app really left me feeling disappointed. If it were compared to Manga Up! or Shonen Jump, it’s definitely most alike to Manga Up. It requires a constant buy-in of points and exhausting dedication to earn tickets. I thought that maybe I could get buy with just keeping up on a couple of series I cared about the most, by “earning” points to unlock the most recent premium chapters, but it’s entirely too inconvenient. The 3 chests, which is essentially a lootcrate system, netted a total of 15 points for the day. When I tried to take some surveys to earn more, I was shown webpages that stated the maximum responses were reached instead.

I recently re-downloaded kmanga to give it a second chance, but now they’re splitting chapters in half— including the latest chapters of witch hat atelier, the one series I was willing to try and keep up with. So I’ve demoted my 2 star review to one and I’m uninstalling. Splitting chapters in half is the scummy and disrespectful.

So I think its amazing that theres finally a app that will allow you to read official manga on mobile devices. Unfortunately this app misses the mark. Going the point route is pretty dumb and greedy imo. If I wanted to try an new manga out you can read the available chaptets they provided for free which is cool and all but if you want to continue padt that point, have to use point (earn thru tapjoy which I assume is downloading apps, open them for a bit, and wait for point rewards to come in). A app like this would be perfect if they had a monthly and yearly subscription. That way you dont have “ earn or buy” points to own manga that you’ll probably just read once and would fade its existence away in your library… And its more suited for the times. You don’t have to get rid of the points you should also have a subscription based model as well. Have access to all the manga for a monthly fee or yearly. Cancel anytime… and lose access to stuff you would be able to read under the subscription.

The practices here are disgusting. Not only does the app require you to buy the chapters, but also has two forms of currency to buy them with: premium tickets and tokens (which cost real money). This wouldn’t be so bad if the manga wasn’t censored. On an app rated 17+. Which, again, you have to buy. Now, you CAN get the he paid currency by watching ads and, at roughly 12 chapters a volume, it IS cheaper to buy each chapter on here. But, if you bought the volume physically, it wouldn’t be censored. Now, you do have alternatives! The Viz Media app is $3 a month, no censorship (though the translation of One Piece is still kinda rough), and comes with Shounen Jump, Jump Plus, and Viz Manga (Dragonball, Naruto, Pokémon, etc.) You do have to buy some series by the volume, older series like Ranma 1/2, but occasionally they do become free (Hunter x Hunter was paid, now it’s free). The other alternative is to sail the high seas which is morally correct when companies do not respect their customers.

First let me say I always try to support the official release BUT… I was on this app for 10 minutes before I decided this wasn’t worth my time. Yea you do get chapter for free but you also have use a “ticket” or watch a video to read certain chapters. Newer chapters you have buy points. 148 points cost 99 cents and new chapters cost 99 points. So if you want stay up date on a several series you going to have pay up or wait a week. At this point I would just buy the volumes physical or digitally. It’s not worth it. On top of that the interface is awful. It looks like a cheap cellphone game. Everywhere you look it telling you get tickets or earn points. I’m just here to read manga. This shouldn't be this complicated. Viz got this right with the Shonen Jump app and the new Viz app. I suggest getting those apps instead or just do what we’ve been doing for over a decade when we want to stay up to date with a series. Wink wink nudge nudge “ Ahoy Me Hearties”.

You need to pay money to read recent chapters for anything. Rather than getting “starter points” or something along the lines, you’ll be “given the opportunity” to buy discounted points for seven days. Users are given a “premium ticket” upon downloading the app which gives you access to one chapter out of literal thousands that would otherwise be unavailable. But not a new chapter, only something that’s in the backlog. There is a way to receive free points, but you need to watch 30 seconds of ads in order to get the chance at 50 points. You’re more likely to end up receiving 5 points for your time. Also, a single chapter is 99 points, so you could be grinding out half an hour’s worth of ads just to read a single chapter. If you want to take screenshots to share your favorite moments with your friends, the app will ban you if you screenshot a certain amount. The Viz media apps are much more worth your time and money.

First off the manga are all censored. I understand there’s some issues there with how Apple usually tends to be regarding adult content.

The solution there, is to do exactly what VIZ and SJ plus did where you go on the site VA your browser where you can view mature rated content.

But if that were the only issue it would be manageable. It’s not.

The biggest issue here is you have some sort of coin system, which might work for Korean porn sites, but isn’t going to work here.

Not to mention the Korean pornwha sites have better deals.

For under six dollars a month I can get VIZ and SJ plus and read thousands upon thousands of chapters. For six dollars with K-manga, I can read maybe like 4 or 5 new chapters.

Not only is this service outrageously priced and annoyingly censored, but the typesetting on some of the chapters looks absolutely terrible.

You can fix about 50% of your problems by just making this subscription-based service like it should’ve been from the get go. 25% can be fixed by just having a web browsing site or we can read things without having to view censorship. And the other 25% will understandably take time but you don’t see the same issues SJ/VIZ simulpubs quality.

You can either fix these or the rest of us will just continue to pirate and not use your service.

The choice is yours.
