Emaqi Adds 11 Manga, Chat Assistant Feature
A localization company's e-bookstore is now spending its monthly shelf space on subscription-hosted exclusives and a discovery tool, which frames emaqi as a curation service rather than a bare storefront.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Orange Inc.'s emaqi e-bookstore is adding 11 new titles this month, eight of them through the emaqi Premium monthly subscription. The picks include Yuka Tatami's Streaming Under My Control, koma's The Soldier Groom and the Daikon Bride, Yuji Shiozaki's Shin Ikki Tousen, Kaduho's Kill Me Baby, Ryokuji Yoshizawa's And So, We Mostly Destroyed, and Kawakami Daishiro's Song of the Thirty-Year-Olds' Blues. The service also added a chat assistant meant to help readers find titles by mood and preference.
The 11 titles arrive staggered across October, with October 16 the heaviest day at four releases. Eight of the 11 sit behind emaqi Premium, the paid subscription tier, including the new Ikki Tousen collected volume, Kill Me Baby, and And So, We Mostly Destroyed.
Orange Inc. also added a chat assistant to emaqi, which it says helps readers find titles from the catalog based on mood and preferences. The company announced the batch and the feature on Tuesday.
