Manga value checker & scanner
Point your camera at any manga volume and Minti identifies the exact series, volume, and edition, then shows what it's worth from live eBay listing data. Organize your runs, track their value, and sell them, all in one app.
How much is your manga worth?
Guide prices go stale the moment they're printed. Minti pulls live eBay listings for your exact volume, drops the outliers, and shows you every comparable it used, so a sought-after first print, an out-of-print volume, or a complete run all get a current value you can check for yourself.
- Low, average, and high range from live eBay listings, with a one-tap link to eBay's sold history to double-check
- See what first prints and out-of-print volumes command over common reprints
- Price history across 7-day, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year windows, with Pro
Identify any volume in seconds
Not sure which printing you're holding? Minti's AI reads the cover and spine to identify the series, volume, and edition. It distinguishes first prints, later printings, and English versus original-language releases, and flags out-of-print volumes, then matches it to a priced record. No manual catalog searching.
- Recognizes English and original-language releases across long-running series
- Separates first prints from later printings by edition markings
- Auto-fills series, volume, condition, and attributes so your entry stays clean
- Free barcode scanning on every tier, so modern volumes and boxed sets go in with one tap
What makes manga valuable
A stack of volumes can range from pocket change to a serious payday, and the difference comes down to a few things. Minti surfaces the details that move price so you know what you're holding.
- First prints of popular series carry a premium over later printings
- Out-of-print volumes and complete runs are harder to find and sell for more
- Condition matters, especially spine and pages, since reading copies show wear fast
- Graded versus raw: CGC-graded manga can carry a premium over raw copies
Organize your manga collection
Keep your volumes in series and folders that mirror how you actually collect. Every item carries its images, condition, edition, and current value, and your portfolio total updates as the market moves, so you always know what your shelves are worth.
- Set Tracker turns a series into a checklist, showing which volumes you own, which are missing, your completion percentage, and what the remaining volumes would cost to finish. Free on every tier.
- Profit and loss tracking, so you can see what you paid against what a volume is worth, plus realized profit after fees
