The Future of Online Manga Publishing In Japan
Tony Yao’s Take on the future of electronic manga publishing in Japan - Humberto
Due to the earthquake that has caused so much destruction in Japan, Shueisha posted the March 14th issue of Weekly Shonen JUMP online (for free) to those who weren’t able to purchase a physical copy due to the many delays caused by the disaster. The link to download an app to view the issue can be found here. (Warning: the app is in Japanese & you need a Yahoo! Japan account).
Kodansha has also announced that they would have issues from 6 of their manga magazines online. With many publishers delaying releases of manga (& also anime) because of the tragic events in Japan, will we see them fully realize the potential of paid subscriptions to online manga/issues of manga magazines as a source of revenue?
