Press Release

Kodansha Comics continues its campaign to launch at least one new “digital-first”manga series every week and has just announced it will kick off 5 new manga series in July, with a shonen actioner in the hot “RPG manga” genre, different looks at romance in a trio of shojo/josei titles, and even a Tokyo neighborhood guide in manga form!
