Neon Ichiban
A digital home for the comics you actually own.
Neon Ichiban is a digital comics and manga platform where readers buy, collect, read, and resell issues from every major publisher in one place. Every purchase is a real collectible — not a license you can lose — and you can trade it on a built-in marketplace.
What makes it different
Other platforms rent you access. We sell you real digital goods — with provenance, variants, and a secondary market.
Own what you buy
Every issue you purchase is a permanent digital collectible tied to your wallet. Variants, signed copies, and remarques included.
Built-in marketplace
Resell any edition you own. Set your own price. Proceeds go straight to your Neon Ichiban wallet — no third-party fees.
Every major publisher
Marvel, DC, Kodansha, Dark Horse, Image, IDW, Oni Press, Dynamite, Titan, Vault, Mad Cave, Rebellion, DSTLRY, and more.
Earn for reviewing
Share your take on books you have read and earn store credit through the incentivized review program.
