If the original is a mobi file, KindleUnpack can unpack it but does not offer a epub output option. OTOH, most manga is KF8 which can be converted to epub by KindleUnpack but all too often the images in the KF8 are on the small side. If you don't mind the loss of resolution, you can edit the epub CSS to force the images to display full screen. As Jon said, this does require some relatively minor editing to the epub.
I looked at a sample from the file. KindleUnpack to epub gave me what looks like a cousin to an epub3 fixed layout file. Sadly none of the files seemed to be listed in the manifest. I ran ModifyEpub to manifest those files so I could work on the file. What I did notice was that the opf file says the epub is fixed layout, pre-paginated and with a fixed viewport of 1550x2250 along with each page giving a fixed width of 1500x2250.
