Manga publisher Shueisha Inc. has launched MANGA MILLION, a new digital platform available for a limited time that provides readers worldwide with free access to manga with no registration required.
At launch, MANGA MILLION features approximately 400 manga titles, including globally acclaimed series such as ONE PIECE, Naruto, Bleach, Demon Slayer, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Nearly 300 titles are also being translated for the first time, with 50 titles receiving multilingual translations, featuring support for English, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French, Turkish, Tagalog, Korean, Polish and more.
“One of a publisher’s most important responsibilities is to connect creative talent with the world”, said Hideaki Hayashi, President and Representative Director of Shueisha. “Japanese manga has flourished through the passionate artistry of countless manga creators and the unwavering support of readers, growing into a cultural phenomenon embraced across borders around the world.”
Shuhei Hosono, Editor-in-Chief of MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA and initiator of the project, commented: “The project began with a simple question: what if we marked Shueisha’s 100th anniversary by translating one million pages of manga into 100 languages? As we developed the concept, we also saw it as a way to address the language barriers that still prevent many readers around the world from accessing manga.”
MANGA MILLION is available worldwide for a limited time, free of charge and without registration at https://mangamillion.shueisha.co.jp/ .
