Manga on the iPhone -- a way to be really pretentious
by Brad Rice, 08/12/2007
Manga on the iPhone -- a way to be <i>really</i> pretentious photo

If you're going to be reading manga while you're out and about, just buy the damn volume. Well, Voice Bank, a Japanese telecom company, is going to be working with the Digital Manga Association of Japan to bring manga to the iPhone. Oh, let me go skip for joy.

What the software does is shrink the manga pages to iPhone size, and then you can use the touch screen to zoom in so that you can read all of the text. According to Voice Bank, they're currently looking for a distributor here in America to work with.

Readers, how many of you actually own an iPhone? I'd figure that a lot of you (myself included) are spending too much money on anime and manga to afford the ridiculous costs that make up the iPhone
