Purchasing manga

This guide explains how to purchase and read manga using coins.
Coins are one way to read on emaqi. If you’d rather read without buying chapters one by one, emaqi premium is a monthly subscription that unlocks the premium area of eligible titles. It’s available in the emaqi app in the United States and Canada.
