Twin Engine and Bandai launched Bibibi Comic, a new manga platform offering 33 titles at launch. Readers can use free tickets earned through missions and access one free chapter every 23 hours. The platform is part of a joint initiative covering original manga, anime adaptations, and licensed merchandise.
Bibibi Comic went live on Monday, the first product of the strategic partnership Twin Engine and Bandai announced earlier. The platform carries 33 titles from day one, including Sayaka Mogi's Shibarikami (Binding God) and Koge Donbo's Saitsu yo Akuyaku Reijō Saikyō Jūdō-ka no Kan Akuyaku Reijō to Naru (The Strongest Villainess: The Strongest Judo Man Becomes The Strongest Villainess).
Reading is built around a free model: users complete missions to earn tickets, and every title opens one free chapter per 23 hours. The broader joint initiative spans original manga, animated adaptations, and licensed toys, with Twin Engine handling animation planning and production while Bandai drives product development, marketing, and licensing. The two companies plan a combined initial investment of up to 4 billion yen (about US$25.35 million). Further details on the initiative are expected soon.
