Kodansha has announced that its manga platform K MANGA has expanded to four new countries, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore on Oct 22, 2024, on both iOS and Android platforms.
To celebrate the app’s launch in these regions, Kodansha is offering a limited-time promotion, discounting five popular titles by 50%. The titles are Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, Wistoria: Wand And Sword, WIND BREAKER, and Rent-A-Girlfriend.
The campaign will run from 12:00 a.m. on Oct 22, 2024, through 11:59 p.m. on Nov 4, 2024 (JST).
Kodansha’s expansion reflects the rising demand for Japanese manga among English-speaking audiences. The company’s overseas manga sales have surged in recent years, driven by the global success of titles like Attack on Titan and Tokyo Revengers.
The company has also revealed plans to continue expanding K MANGA into additional regions in the future.
K MANGA was first launched in the U.S. in May 2024.
The K MANGA app offers over 500 titles in English, including around 100 ongoing series that will be updated simultaneously with their release in Japan. Users will also be able to access the complete libraries of fan-favorite series like Attack on Titan, Tokyo Revengers, and Fairy Tail for free using daily tickets, though some ongoing series may be excluded.
