The first "digital issue" on the platform will release in summer 2024. The platform will release a new Digimon manga by Digimon Dreamers author Tenya Yabuno. That manga will have a release in English and Japanese.

The web manga platform will also release manga that won the "Digimon Comic Award," as well as other works. Additionally, the staff will launch a new "Digimon Novel Competition" with submissions being accepted from mid-March to mid-June. Winning works will also release on the platform.

Yabuno ended the Digimon Dreamers manga on March 4. The manga's second volume will release on April 4.

Yabuno launched the series in Shueisha's Saikyō Jump magazine in October 2021. Akiyoshi Hongo is credited with the original story. Bandai started publishing the comic with an English translation by MediBang in 2023. Shueisha shipped the first volume in December 2022.
