Shueisha launched MANGA MILLION on August 6, a global digital service commemorating its 100th anniversary. The service offers approximately 400 manga titles, totaling 1 million pages, translated into over 100 languages, free worldwide with no registration required. The distribution period runs through the end of December 2027. The lineup includes One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kingdom, Oshi no Ko, Spy x Family, and Chainsaw Man, plus more than 150 shojo and josei titles.
Shueisha's MANGA MILLION service went live on August 6, timed to the company's 100th anniversary on August 8. The service is aimed at overseas audiences, and only a limited portion of content is viewable from within Japan. Japanese users can read the East Blue arc of One Piece (volumes 1-12) in all 107 languages, but the other roughly 400 translated titles are not available domestically.
The service also plans near-simultaneous distribution for about 30 currently serialized titles starting mid-August, with latest chapters released 2 to 3 weeks after their Japanese publication. One Piece will be available in 96 languages, including Italian, Mongolian, and Swahili. The other titles in this program are works not previously simulcast on MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA, and they will be distributed in English.
