Bla1ze spotted this little gem in the forums so I thought I would share. OneManga is a popular Manga (Japanese Comics) destination but sadly it does not work well in the BlackBerry browser. Andiamo decided to take it into his hands and create a Storm application for this that will let you read your favorite Manga series by downloading it OTA and having it automatically scale down to your Storms screen. There is no word yet about support for other devices but hopefully that is coming. You can use the touchscreen to swipe left and right to switch pages, double tap to zoom in, drag your finger to pan, and click to advance a page. It also offers a easy bookmark system to find your place again.
Right now the app does not support American comics on the SD card which I am hoping they will soon. I would love to be able to read some comics on the go! Andiamo says he plans to look into supporting it once the Manga features are fleshed out.
You can read more at this thread on CrackBerry or download the app OTA at this link
