Problem
Manga readers often struggle to find a single, affordable, and legal platform that offers a broad catalog of officially licensed series across multiple publishers and genres. Fragmented access across different services, high per-chapter costs, and limited discovery tools make it difficult for fans to explore new titles and support creators.

Omoi is a digital manga service that provides access to hundreds of legally licensed manga series from publishers like Kodansha and J-Novel Club, as well as exclusive series licensed directly from Japan. The platform offers a subscription model that unlocks thousands of chapters, with free reading options for select popular and new series. Readers can access the service on Web, iOS, and Android, and Omoi pays royalties back to publishers based on readership data. The service also features curated collections, staff picks, and discovery tools to help users find new manga across genres like shonen, josei, horror, and slice of life.
