• The Girls Love Mobile Manga

    We noticed in a online recent article that the most prominent mobile manga viewers are actually female! Apparently statistics show more than half of the viewers are women and some stories are dominated by majority of 70 percent or more. So, when do those ladies watch manga..?!? According to the story a spokeman said: “Midnight, just before falling asleep in her bed, she watches quietly under the blanket… that’s the trend, I guess.” 

    An NTTSolmare spokesman for the popular Osaka based company confessed that when they started the service, they had anticipated young salarymen on the commuter trains as a main customer group. But, female group (10 to 30 years old) gradually took over the site. Preview some of the titles for free online here.
