Manga's tough because it's so easy to pirate and there are so many older titles out there.
Viz has done an amazing job by having access to a decent Shonen Jump library for only $2/month that hopefully will grow, but it's dead simple to go to a manga fan translation aggregator site and read a larger range of comics (and from non Shonen-Jump titles). I'm a subscriber and read titles they have there. The image quality is better than fan sites unless you download torrents or something.
The obvious solution for this era is to have a Netflix or crunchyroll-like approach with Manga. Also for some newer titles, they're creating the translations to be released when the title is released in Japan.

But there's a very vocal group here that says Netflix is not the solution because not everything is available through Netflix because evil rights holders don't want to and so it's okay to pirate content. Some go as far as to say they are forced to pirate content not available on Netflix because it's the right holder's choice. Viz is already the Netflix of manga. And that includes the justified pirating stance.
