Digital publishers, unavailable in print

I'm looking for recommendations of digital publishers to get manga from, such as:
Renta!
eManga
Manga Samurai
Manga Reborn

This also includes vizmanga.com to an extent, but most of their content is also available in print. JManga was my previous source of non-print titles, but they're gone and a lot of series they hosted seem to have left with them.

I'm assuming that my current sources are legit, so please let me know if there are any other websites like these. On a side note, like 80% of the exclusive titles on Renta and eManga are erotica of some nature so I would appreciate publishers that don't mostly focus on adult content.

I think Manga Box is a digital publisher... Wait let me google for a little. Yeah, pretty sure. There's an English site and a Japanese site (and apparently a Mandarin site, according to openforum). The latest chapters can be viewed for free for a certain amount of time (during which some sites pirate...), then after you pay to read the previous chapters (which I don't know how to do, but if you linger and click around, I'm sure you'll find a way).

There's SMAC! Magazine.
It's a Japanese based company that releases chapters in English. They're doing Arte! (Yay!)
Along with a few other titles.

Comixology has series from several US publishers - Viz, Dark Horse, DMP, Seven Seas, and they recently added Kodansha.

Bookwalker has been expanding their English selection, and have several Kadokawa owned Seven Seas/Viz titles, and a handful of series exclusive to them.

I would def agree on using either Comixology and Bookwalker. I would recommend checking their mobile site instead, since it is easier to navigate.

Thank you for all the suggestions!

I've seen a couple of these and weren't sure since the interface for some are kinda wonky. Manga Box seems to focus on the app and I was previously unable to figure out how to read old chapters, I'll try fiddling with it again.

Bookwalker and Comixology might take a while to sift through since there navigation is kinda minimal. Mobile seems to way to go for these suggestions.

BookLOUD

Also, a lot of the Jmanga releases were ported directly to Crunchyroll, which is also a digital publisher (as you probably already knew, but as it hadn't been mentioned yet...).

BookLOUD looks promising, but a lot of these titles are obscure to the point of need to really figure out what is worthwhile. I have used Crunchyroll, but their selection is kinda limited compared to the other sites.

Bookwalker finally updated their mobile website, so it should be a lot easier to search for books. Although, you can only search through one genre at a time. biggrin

Comic Walker seems to have a tine selection of manga in English (you have to select English language at the top). It's also quite possible you can read more that the newest chapter if you use the app and that what you can find there is also on Book Walker.

You can access last 12 chapters on MangaBox if you use the app, but some series might be unavailable on android (I think google has some anti-porn policy and made MangaBox folks remove some series from the app and those series were not necessarily adult ones).
