I can’t speak for other series, but One Punch Man chapters seem to average about 30 pages per chapter, although there is a huge range. So the price per chapter is about 8 cents per chapter, not as good a deal as the 5 cents per chapter you get with tickets, but still not particularly expensive. Most Chinese-language manga on the internet is in traditional, either a direct scan of the Taiwanese edition or a fan scanlation done in traditional.īlew through the monthly allocation of tickets already so I decided to buy some 漫币 (I guess manhua coin would be a good translation). One US dollar can buy 600 coins, and subscribers pay 49 coins per chapter (I think there’s a 50% discount compared to non-subscribers). The actual images are in WEBP format and are a bit smaller in file size. Note that the real images used by the app are not quite this big, I converted it to JPEG to make it easier to view. Even really small text can be read clearly at these resolutions. In practice, every chapter will be a bit less than 5 cents because because there are monthly rewards you can claim that increase your ticket count, and probably some seasonal promotions or whatever. The quality will be pretty good for the first few chapters, then drop precipitously in later chapters.
CHINES EMANGA SERIES
Yes, a simple Google search is enough to find any manga series posted online, but all of these free sites are extremely inconsistent in the quality of their scans. Download speed is ridiculously slow and my phone went to sleep before it could finish downloading just 3 chapters.
CHINES EMANGA OFFLINE
You can download the chapters to read offline but the interface is quite cumbersome when you use monthly-allocated tickets to buy chapters. I don't know if they accept non-Chinese credit cards, and you might not want to give your credit card number to a Chinese company.
CHINES EMANGA ANDROID
There is an Android app, but it's not on Google Play and you'd have to sideload it. They seem to only have series from Shonen Jump and its sister publications. Įven though my experience with the app has been mostly positive up to now, I do see some problems: Since they're using translations licensed for the mainland market, all manhua are in simplified, which is nice if you're not comfortable with traditional characters. I uploaded a sample so you can judge the quality for yourself. The image quality is really good, looking closely at the images shows that the dimensions of a page are usually 2000x3000 and the size of the images on disk is usually greater than 1 MB. So far, I've only bought chapters of 一拳超人, otherwise known as One Punch Man to western fans. Generally, you can exchange one ticket for one chapter, so the cost per chapter comes to about 5 cents. I picked the monthly subscription option which costs $2.00 a month and gives you 40 tickets every month. I decided to try it out because getting high-quality images of Chinese-language manga is fairly difficult, and it's nice to, you know, compensate artists for their work.
It looks like all the other manhua apps on the App Store, but it actually allows you to pay for and legally read official Chinese translations of Japanese manga. Recently, I discovered that Bilibili makes an iOS app for reading manhua.
