This new service from VIZ Media gives you unlimited access to over 10,000 chapters of manga from different genres and publishers.

Subscribers can find classics like Ranma 1/2 and Nana, as well as new hits like Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon and Mao. For only $2 a month, you can also enjoy 15 titles that are simul-published, meaning that you can read them in English on the same day as the Japanese release.
