 Publishing company Kodansha announced the launch of K Manga—a new manga distribution service—on Tuesday. The platform will be available exclusively as a smartphone app in the United States on May 10, with a website version to follow at a later date.K Manga will launch with approximately 400 titles, including 70 ongoing series such as Edens Zero, Blue Lock, Kanojo, Okarishimasu (Rent-A-Girlfriend), Mokushiroku no Yonkishi (The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse), and Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san (Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro). The catalog will also offer popular titles like Nanatsu no Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins), Enen no Shouboutai (Fire Force), and Chihayafuru. The service will provide free manga chapters, with the amount of free manga that can be read per day being limited and varying by manga. "The K Manga team is committed to continually creating content within the K Manga platform, bringing many brand new stories to US readers as they are simultaneously distributed in Japan," says project leader Yuta Hiroaka. "We hope that our audience will enjoy K Manga through encountering many never-before-seen stories, becoming a fan of those stories, and then watching the journey of how those stories become popular."

| cool that the official scans for Edens Zero is back and now Blue Lock too will have an official scans but ye im a pirate anyway so it does not bother me either way but glad that people who want to financially support the industry can do so now there in the US at least |
| Kodansha: "We don't care about people worldwide, so please keep pirating our stuff". |
| I just hope that the official scans will reflect the volume translations because if I have to be reading Ego saying Lock Off I'll be upset lol But other than that, I'll support this just like how I support Shueisha's app P.S. To all the people that are upset in this thread, just get a VPN and your problem is solved....How are we in 2023 and people don't have VPN's for this very same purpose lol |
| I'm curious about what the price will be. Shueisha's app is only $2.99/month and it's pretty worth it considering how much manga you get access to. Hopefully this will be around the same price. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| > The platform will be available exclusively as a smartphone app in the United States Good thing the company itself is telling me they won't give the option of an official release and I should go pirate their stuff. |
| The advantage of living in the US is that you basically get access to all services in the world, be movies, games, anime, or manga. |
 |
| Finally giving Viz some competition. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Hopefully this'll turn into something even close to mangaplus someday. |
 |
| it's not like they have licensing issue since Kmanga wholly owned by kodansha. why US only? we may never know. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
