Oh, K Manga!
A few months ago we reported on the development of K Manga, an online service that will release English translations of publisher Kodansha’s biggest hits like Tokyo Revengers and Blue Lock at the same time as their Japanese versions. Well, that day has finally arrived!
The app version of K Manga for iOS and Android has launched today with the browser version expected to come out in the near future. And with it comes about 400 titles translated into English and supervised by Kodansha for accuracy. Of these, 60 currently running titles like Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro and Edens Zero are getting the simupub treatment. A full list of the available titles can be viewed at the very end of this article.
Titles can be read for free through a ticket system. First, all titles will have the first few chapters available for free off the bat, and further chapters can be unlocked with the use of tickets. Each day a Normal Ticket is issued for each title for free and allows you to unlock other chapters for three days. Additional Premium Tickets can also be gotten through login bonuses or watching advertisements and with a little bit of keen ticket management you can get away with reading about four or five chapters a day without paying a red cent.
On the other hand, if that’s too much bother, you can just go ahead and exchange your red cents for Points at a rate of one red cent for one point. These can be used to unlock chapters permanently. The cost of chapters varies depending on the size and how recently it was published.
Fans of Attack on Titan, Tokyo Revengers, and Fairy Tail are really in luck too because in honor of K Manga’s debut, all chapters of these titles will be available for free for a limited time. The only catch is that there’s a daily cap on how many chapters can be read, but it’s all there for the reading.
Also in celebration of the service’s launch, Kodansha is planning an online shindig on 22 June packed full of stuff fans are going to love. Behind-the-scenes stories and live drawings by artists can be enjoyed during the livestreamed event and exclusive prizes can also be won.
Unfortunately, K Manga is only limited to the USA for the time being but Kodansha says they are working on making it available in other regions too as soon as possible. In the meantime, at least we can all watch the launch party when it hits later this summer on Kodansha’s YouTube channel.
