Yomiru
Public roadmap

Building the home anime and manga fans actually want to keep.

Yomiru is moving toward a faster, more cinematic mobile-first platform that keeps anime, manga, manhwa, manhua, donghua, and film under one identity. The goal is simple: make discovery feel alive, keep the core experience free, and never let the app feel cheap.

What we believe

  • Free stays free. The core watch and read experience should never feel held hostage.
  • Discovery should feel alive. The app should always have something fresh to show you.
  • Speed matters more than feature count. Weak phones and weak networks still deserve a premium product.
  • Anime and manga belong together here. Yomiru should feel like one home, not stitched-together sections.

North star

One home for watching and reading.

The long-term direction is not “more pages.” It is a better product rhythm: stronger discovery, better continuation, cleaner playback and reading, and a platform that still feels premium on weak phones.

Mobile comes first. TV, richer platform features, and deeper social layers come after the core app feels undeniably good.

Now

Core launch priorities

These are the pieces that make Yomiru feel different right away.

Mobile foundations built around speed, low-end device performance, and a premium dark design system.
A stronger home experience with rotating discovery, continue watching, continue reading, and better category depth.
Unified anime, donghua, film, manga, manhwa, and manhua discovery across one product identity.
Premium content detail screens with clearer actions, richer metadata, and smoother continuation flows.
Reliable account flows, guest mode, watchlist, history, and cross-device progress sync.

Next

High-impact upgrades

These come after the foundations are stable and keep the app feeling sharper without bloating the first release.

A cleaner mobile player V1 with stable HLS playback, subtitles, quality switching, resume progress, and next-episode flow.
A premium reader V1 with vertical reading, chapter progress sync, and smoother image loading.
Smarter personalization that rotates rows and surfaces fresher titles daily across a 45,000+ title catalog.
Faster browse and search experiences tuned for real-world devices and weaker network conditions.
Light, non-intrusive discovery monetization that keeps playback, reading, and account flows clean.

Later

Expansion layers

These are worth building, but they should amplify the platform, not delay the core experience.

Android TV and Fire TV support with remote-first navigation and larger layouts.
Deeper player and reader polish, including richer gestures and more advanced controls where they truly help.
Downloads, richer notification controls, and better offline-friendly behavior.
Community layers, profile depth, and more social features once the core app experience is locked in.
Optional platform expansions and support features that do not compromise the free core experience.
