52% to the rights-holder pool
Industry-leading share. 52% of every subscriber dollar routes to a single rights-holder pool, attributed by pages read (KU-style). Monthly statements per title, per territory.

License once. Distribute everywhere.
Bibue is the unified, licensed-distribution layer for manga, manhwa, manhua, and animation. One agreement replaces the territory-by-territory negotiations that fragment the industry, with monthly statements, full takedown control, and a 52% share of every subscriber dollar routed to the rights-holder pool.
01 · The opportunity
A market that wants to pay
Piracy is not a demand problem, it is a supply problem. Western readers want to pay for manga, manhwa, and manhua. The legal options today are either fragmented across a dozen platforms or absent entirely. Bibue closes that gap with one licensed agreement and the majority of the revenue routed back to the people who made the work.
02 · The deal
What you get
Western-first distribution
Bibue is built for English, French, Spanish, and German-speaking audiences first, then expanding outward. The legal market most under-served, the demand most unmet.
Non-exclusive by default
You keep your rights. Distribute on Bibue alongside any other platform you choose. Pull a title with 30 days notice, no clawback on already-paid royalties.
AI translation, human reviewed
One upload reaches readers across 60+ languages. Machine translation generates a first pass; native-speaker editors refine each chapter. Every translation is previewable and revocable before publication.
