How to play Mangavania
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. Point, click, done: the mouse is the entire control scheme. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
