Payment

I want to know why my credit card won't work.

Below are some common reasons for users being unable to make purchases with their card on Renta!.

Your credit card spending limit was reached.

If this is the case, use a different card, or ask your credit card company to increase the spending limit.

Your card has exceeded the maximum number of payments allowed in a given period of time.

If this is the case, use a different card, or ask your credit card company to increase the maximum number of payments you can make.

You cannot make online payments with your card.

Use a different card, or ask your credit card company about enabling online payments.

Your card doesn't allow automated billing.

Ask your credit card company whether they allow automated billing. If they don't, use a different card.

Your card doesn't allow international transactions.

Renta! is based in Japan. If you cannot make international transactions with your card, you will not be able to purchase manga from the site. The solution is to use a different card or talk to your credit card company about enabling international transactions.

I want to know about the security of my card information.

Renta! uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption when transmitting customer information.
Credit card payment is dealt with by a payment agency.
At Renta!, we don't store customers' credit card information for security reasons.

I want to change my credit card.

  1. Sign in to Renta!.
  2. Go to the point purchase page.
  3. Select the number of points you'd like.
  4. Click "Use different card from last purchase", and input your details.

I made a mistake and want to cancel my point purchase.

Please be aware that you cannot cancel your purchase and we may not be able to offer a refund after you have completed the payment procedure. Please make sure to confirm the details of your purchase before you complete your payment.

Do I have to pay to use Renta!?

Yes. Although there is a small selection of free manga available, you need to pay to read the majority of the content on Renta!. This is because Renta! is a completely legitimate manga store. We get the permission of the artists before selling their work, and a portion of the money from each manga sold goes back to them.

Why don't some manga have a 48hrs/unlimited option available?

The pricing of each manga is decided by the publisher. Sometimes they decide to release a manga with only one option (either just 48 hours, or just unlimited). When this does occur please understand that it is not our decision and we cannot change it.
NOTE: If you want to know about option details, please read Help: You can choose your rental period.

Can I read manga in Japanese?

Japanese language manga cannot be bought on the English language site. If you wish to read manga in Japanese, you must create a separate account for the Japanese language site.

Please be aware that there is absolutely no English language support for the Japanese site, so everything (including the registration process) must be carried out in Japanese. Also, any points you may have in your account for the English site cannot be transferred to your account on the Japanese site.

NOTE: If you find yourself being automatically redirected back to the English language site (or vice-versa) please try deleting your browser's cache.

Can I recommend a manga to be put on the site?

Please let us know if there are any manga you'd like Renta! to translate. Please bear in mind that it is highly unlikely we will be able to provide, in the near future, manga released by a publisher whose manga we do not already carry.

How can I find out when the next chapter of a series is coming out?

You can find a rough schedule for all upcoming releases on the "Upcoming Manga page". Please be aware that everything on this page is subject to change, but it should at least give you a rough idea of when something will be coming out.

Will my points disappear if I don't use them?
