You got it right! Since each user is paying less per chapter read, you need more subscribers on the service to surpass the revenue that would have been received with a-la-carte only. And there is a huge opportunity to…
We've kept age filtering in mind even before we launched but haven't been able to prioritize it yet even though we agree and want to support it. But we hadn't thought of allowing a guardian to select the things a kid…
Thanks for the report! We'll get that fixed up.
For all the titles we have right now, they are available worldwide except within Japan itself so you don't need to worry about restrictions. We plan to keep it that way but are uncertain if Japanese publishers will…
Some of it is fear of cannibalizing the traditional print and ebook business, uncertainty of newer strategies, and desire to retain control of their properties.
Which platform are you using? It should already be preloading a few images in advance but maybe we can do a better job on this on a particular platform.
We choose new titles by talking with our publishers to figure out what they have English streaming rights to and what we think fits well in our catalog. Premium users can send us a message on social media or via our…
Yep, we've got deals with six English-language publishers. The conversations have generally been pretty smooth. Most of the publishers we work with are excited to get their series in front of a larger audience through a…
Thanks for the constant feedback, Daiz, brutally honest as it always is ;) We're tracking all of the reader issues and feature requests like the ones you mentioned, but of course with a small team handling everything…
This is a really cool idea, thanks for suggesting it! We’ll look into what it takes to build a Tachiyomi plugin and if it can support the terms of our publisher contracts.
It's on the feature roadmap!
Both Crunchyroll and Azuki have Attack on Titan from Kodansha, but Orange is part of a different deal CR has. Sorry about the missing chapters on Grand Blue and some other series! That’s a licensing restriction on…
No restrictions on account sharing, and adding profiles a la Netflix is something we can consider down the line. We’re happy to have more people using Azuki and talking about it with their friends :)
Thanks! We’re also really proud of our partnership with smaller publishers like Kaiten Books, Star Fruit Books, and Glacier Bay Books. It’s been great sharing their titles with more fans. The simulpub model is…
All titles on our service are available worldwide outside of Japan and we support payments worldwide by Credit Card on the website and Apple/Google on our mobile apps.
You may like "Blame!" (pronounced BLAM). It's not a similar story at all as it's more hard sci-fi action but may be up your alley. Let me know if you end up liking it. https://www.azuki.co/series/blame
That's exactly why I started Azuki! I just want to read as easily as I can watch anime without blind buying a bunch of stuff.
Thank you!
Unfortunately publishers are not providing the the rights for content to be released in Japan through foreign services like Azuki. If we can make it work, we will.
I'm openingly against Crunchyroll's low pay for translators and have posted publicly to that extent so I completely understand that.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll take a look into the scroll issue and see if we can add an option to reverse the reading mode to left-to-right.
Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll look into them and maybe we can figure something out.
We had some cleanup to do with our custom reader to support this but we cleared that hurdle and have full screen support on our roadmap!
Whoa this is a great idea! One of our founders, Evan, is studying with WaniKani right now and he would love that. Thanks!
A lot of what chocolatkey said is accurate. Also hi chocolatkey! I really hope manga survives too and I’m happy to see folks like Comikey out there alongside us trying to push the industry forward. 1. Publishers are…
