Through the platform, Shueisha offered around 400 manga series that could be read for free without the need for registration. Notably, all content was presented in 100 different languages to reach readers across the globe.
However, the current focus within the digital publishing industry is the status of nearly 300 of these titles. These hundreds of comics represented works that were receiving official translations into English and other international languages for the first time.
The platform's arrival was initially a welcome development for manga fans who had previously struggled to access official chapters of less popular or underrated series.
