KUALA LUMPUR, Kodansha Ltd, one of Japan’s major publishers with hit manga titles such as Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, Blue Lock, and GACHIAKUTA, has launched its official manga app ‘K MANGA’ in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
The app is now available on iOS and Android platforms, offering over 500 titles in English, including 100 ongoing manga series across a variety of genres that are updated simultaneously with their release in Japan.
To commemorate the launch, Kodansha said in a statement that five hugely popular titles will be discounted by 50 per cent for a limited time.
Kodansha’s overseas manga sales have surged in recent years, driven largely by the success of titles like Attack on Titan and Tokyo Revengers, reflecting the growing popularity and acceptance of Japanese manga among English-speaking readers.
K MANGA was launched in the United States last May, marking the service’s first expansion into other markets.
Kodansha is striving to further increase accessibility for English-sp
eaking fans, delivering the latest stories as quickly as possible.
Additionally, the company intends to continue expanding into new regions as part of its goal to establish K MANGA as a worldwide platform that connects fans with their favourite works and creators with their audiences.
