This calls to mind a lot of questions. Questions like "Crunchyroll still posts manga?"

They don't advertise it at all, and I'm half expecting them to discontinue that section soon lol. I guess Kodansha doesn't want readers to keep up with their manga and be at least a year behind everyone else or something since they're basically banning simulcast chapters! Shame too, that's the only thing keeping their newer and currently serialized manga somewhat relevant in the digital age outside of piracy lol |

*sigh* Well, as long as it's cheap. It'll still cause a lot of piracy in the months beforehand lol |

Crunchyroll just posted the first chapter of Kaina of the Great Snow Sea today, and some future chapters will come later. The funny thing is, that is also published by Kodansha. This isn't a simulpub though. Recent new titles are more like a weird tie-in that they do on occasion, then forget about (see: several recent series that only have maybe three chapters). As far as I'm aware, the only consistent thing that was ever published on CR Manga in the past several years was Kodansha's simulpub titles. https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2023/01/12-1/kaina-of-the-great-snow-sea-manga-now-available-on-crunchyroll Anyway, Azuki is also pulling roughly the same titles off of their service for the same reason as Crunchyroll: because Kodansha told them to while they change how simulpubs are distributed, or something. The vagueness is why some people are wondering if they are making their own manga service. |

Wow, Eden Zero have entered it final arc. They should have waited until they are able to open up their own site before removing all the manga

The simulpub charters are still on sale for like a buck each on multiple storefronts that I haven’t heard about disappearing anytime soon. Kindle, Bookwalker, etc. |

I do hope they finally create a platform like VIZ’s Shonen Jump. Aside from the more mature titles, Ie Josie and seinen stuff, I have access to all SJ titles with my membership. I tend to read in bulk with only 2 to 3 tiles read by weekly chapter.
The CR manga I believe you get access with premium membership and I have not accessed my account for 2 - 3 years now. Guess I will pick a few titles to bulk read. |

I hope, that Kodansha is making his own version of "Manga Plus". Just like the version of Shueisha, whrere you get the first three chapters and the three most recent chapters for free and thats it.

Some seinen is part of the Shonen Jump membership, like Golden Kamuy. It's just website only, since app stores don't like 18+ content. |

I'm actually surprised Crunchy announced anything this time around... Various Kodansha titles have been quietly vanishing from their site for months now. That being said, yeah. Crunchy's manga arm has been running on autopilot for years now. They've been publishing, but they don't advertise, and various pieces of the system are broken and have been for years.
There's already been series vanish from those services at the same time they vanished from Crunchy and elsewhere... So, I suspect the ones listed in this announcement will vanish too. |

Yeah, I think Kodansha is definitely releasing their own simulpub service, and probably soon. They definitely have enough of a foothold in NA publishing now with Kodansha USA that I suspect they're going to transition to doing most things in-house.

I've been using the Shonen Jump app for about 2 years now. It's about $2 a month and has the classics and new titles that may have a corresponding anime series out. Lemme think about what I've read so far. - Chainsaw Man (just learned that they're still going lol) -My Hero Academia (up to date) - Claymore - Stone Ocean - Promised Neverland - Romantic Killer - Spy x Family - Kuroko's Basketball ....well you get it. I don't think I've ever needed to go anywhere else to read, nor have tried to. If Kodansha is indeed looking to do their own service, I gotta think about it, because there are some titles that I want physically, but I've seen are eBook only, which is a bummer. |
