an app by nozomu · for iphone

your manga,
finally in order.

zōsho remembers what you own, what you’re missing and what you’ve read. scan a volume or type a title: details, covers and release dates fill in on their own.

why zōsho

my first volume was dragon ball. then came brave story, tamahagane, zetman… nearly two thousand volumes later, the shelf is overflowing and memory can’t keep up: which one am i missing, who did i lend it to, which one have i never read?

so i built zōsho. 蔵書, in japanese: the books you keep at home. your collection, sorted the way it deserves.
