Outline

A service that uses location search data to allow users to take turns reading more than 600 weekly manga magazines, comics and other e-books. Users can “pick up” and read e- books displayed nearby on an in-app map linked to an actual map, and then leave them anywhere on the in-app map for other users to read. Creates a forum for chance meetings, like picking up a manga magazine on an overhead rack in a train.
