It's good for compressing manga scans. Depending on files themselves, it can compress down to 30-40% of the original size during best observed scenario. Unfortunately, sometimes there's no benefit to compressing at all (98-99%). The process is also quite slow. But it's definitely worth giving a try, you can leave it working overnight - chances are good that it'll save some space, and whatever the outcome your images lose nothing quality-wise.

Comments and Reviews
This piece of software is excellent for optimizing PNGs to make them as small as possible.
Highly recommended!
ImageOptim is an excellent alternative for Mac OS X, it also handles JPGs and GIFs in addition to PNGs which actually makes it even better, too bad its not available on Windows.
Trimage is another excellent alternative but for Linux, it handles JPGs and PNGs.
On Windows you can optimize JPGs with IrfanView, via Lossless JPEG Operations menu (Ctrl+J).
