A New Experience Built on Madara
ZAX NOVA builds on the Madara ecosystem with a modern manga and novel interface, while preserving the powerful content and chapter management foundation site owners already understand.
ZAX NOVA is a child theme built for Madara. Madara remains the required parent theme and is not included with this product.
The focus of ZAX NOVA is a refreshed visual and user experience for manga and novel websites, while Madara and WP Manga continue to provide the core content structure.
Tested with Madara 2.4.1 and WP Manga 2.4.1 on the confirmed staging stack for this release.
ZAX NOVA is an independently developed Madara child theme. Madara and other third-party products are owned by their respective creators. ZAX NOVA is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Madara or MangaBooth.
