Our 48-hour rentals

Our biggest feature is our 48-hour rentals. You can rent and enjoy manga for cheaper than if you buy them. If you like what you read after you rent it, you can also initially choose to rent for 48 hours, and Upgrade to Unlimited during the rental period if you decide you want to keep the title.
