Amazon and manga publisher Kodansha Comics have announced a new digital publishing deal whereby both companies will work together to launch previously unavailable Kodansha Comics titles digitally in English via the online retailer’s Comixology digital comics and Kindle digital books platforms.
The first 38 volumes are available immediately across Amazon Kindle and Comixology for individual purchase, with Prime Reading/Comixology and Kindle Unlimited members being able to read the title immediately at no additional charge.
The first title being published under the new agreement is Shuichi Shigeno’s Initial D manga, which was previously published by Tokoyopop in the mid-2000s alongside the anime adaptation.
