But yeah, the only thing I think they may have issues with is a proper pricing model, but I guess if they have a subscription service in addition to stuff like $.50/chapter, it could work out well.<br/><br/>I'm pretty sure that cellphone manga has been around in Japan for at least two or three years, though I couldn't find proper articles on it any later than this year. I'm not a big cellphone user, so I'd prefer a web-based subscription service, but with the more and more widespread use of smartphones, etc, I think cellphone manga is a pretty viable distribution model.

That said, Flash-based rentals? Eeew. :/<br/><br/>Also, cellphone manga? I've been thinking for a little while about how that could work, so the fact that it already exists is encouraging. :3 I think that the success of sites like onemanga proves that this sort of thing could work pretty well.
