The current state really is unfortunate. Manga (Japanese comics) is pretty much the only reason I bought an iPad. The Viz Manga app used to be available exclusively for the iPad (no iPhone or iPod Touch support, even). Mobi, ePub or PDF could be used for comics. It's not like they're making the comics interactive requiring a brand new format.

What really sucks is you have no way to make backups of comics/manga bought.
