manga make up something like 85% of Japanese ebook market, but a lot of manga are missing from the Kindle store too

and those that appear on Kindle, it look like it is done through agency pricing.

Example: Vinland Saga

Sold by: Kodansha Ltd.
This price was set by the publisher

Historie

Sold by: Kodansha Ltd.
This price was set by the publisher

Space Brothers

Sold by: Kodansha Ltd.
This price was set by the publisher

Gantz

Sold by: Shueisha, Inc.
This price was set by the publisher
