Viz ends Digital Shonen Jump, new chapters of My Hero Academia and more to be free (Now live!)
- Thread starter Bigkrev
- Start date
Yeah I'm subbing to this. I buyphysical for manga I love like Assassination Classroom and MHA, but being able to keep up with MHA for free is a steal so I gotta throw down that 2 dollars to support it.
100 chapters is so many that I don't even know why there's a restriction in the first place haha.
Hopefully their back catalog grows slowly. 10,000+ sounds like a lot till you realise One Piece itself is about 1000 of those.
Yeah i did enable push notification on the app. But I don't think I was ever notified. I don't get notifications on the new DBS chapters.
I still have a stack of old Jumps that are still sealed in the bag lol from when I just didnt have time to read. I always kind of wanted to catch up on everything in there but I saw digital jump didnt work that way. But now this new thing, perfect.
I should probably dig out the yugioh cards from those old ass issues though..

Regions are United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, the Philippines, Singapore, and India!
More series will be simulpubbed in this new iteration of jump.
Ahhh, I want to read Haikyuu. I love the anime so much. This gets better and better.
Yooooooo Haikyu!, Jujutsu, Yaina, Act-Age!!!
Man this just gets better and better.
Also, Sunday noon PT release for SJ manga confirmed, which is awesome.

This is great, glad they simulpubbing everything!
Though one thing I am unclear about is if they will have the previous chapters of the new series they are adding.

the current version is a magazine that is digital, full with ads for manga, author comments, interviews, and cosplay photos. The new version, will just be like any comic or book app where you just click a chapter in a series.
I would be very surprised if they didn't. For the new weekly series, it'll probably be like when Vigilantes was added to the app where we get frequent translated chapters until we are caught up with Japan at which point we switch to the normal schedule (in Vigilantes case, new chapters came weekly until up to date then it followed the normal 2 week schedule). A similar thing happened in the magazine itself when actual new series were added
I think either it'll be like that or all the chapters will be added at once but sooner or later they'll all be there.
Might be a dumb question, but is there a way to read this on a Windows tablet?
Their app is just for IOS / Android.

The viz website will have the chapters if you want to use your browser.
Forgot they did that for the other series, hopefully, they'll have for the new ones.
Don't know if they'll have a Windows app, but it might be possible to read through a browser on your tablet.
Next weeks will be on Monday for the launch but after that it will be Sunday noon pst.
sunday probably wont happen until after this usual seasonal, delayed jump release dates in jpn, notice that on dec 21 its a friday release not sunday for the usual pre christmas double issue. I think there is going to be one more friday issue in january too before its back to normal.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
Got my magazine and there's more info inside

Uploading images to resetera seems to be broken and it tells me to contact administrator. Anyways, looks like we'll be getting official translations "22 hours earlier" and they'll now release Noon PST. NICE

Nice! I really dug the preview chapters of act-age.More series will be simulpubbed in this new iteration of jump.
I think the safe bet is that if it is in the Shonen Jump App currently than it is most likely going to be in the Digital Vault of older stuff. Dragon Ball should be in, but who knows if that includes the colored version. JJBA should be in some capacity as well.
Ultimately we wont truly know until monday.
It should have all of DB, and up to the current release manga wise of JoJo Compendiums (so 1-3 atm part 4 and such will be added)
The only thing I was gonna miss with the new format change would be the front cover of the magazine, which I usually prefer to the one for the Japanese magazine due to it being less busy, but turns out we'll still be getting those.
It doesn't make as much practical sense due to there not being an actual magazine anymore, but I'm not complaining lol.
OP

The Friday 21st (or Saturday 22nd in Japan) issue is the one after which there is a break, with Jump coming back presumably on the 7th of January.
I just heard about this. Massive news.
If this doesn't force the dinosaurs of DC and Marvel to evolve, nothing will. Manga readers are younger, more diverse, and of all genders. This will hurt physical sales, I'm assuming.
It doesn't help though that the BW colouring of Manga and it's page ratio makes it far more pleasant to read digitally than a 'busy' traditional western full colour with a larger page size.

Shonen Jump evolving is good news, but this is a flaming hot take.
Nuclear even
but it's true.
Manga, a graphic form native to Japan, is a particularly strong area of growth for both kids and adults. Manga is skewing the youngest of all of the comics and graphic novels categories, with 76 percent of the purchasing being done by those ages 13-29. Manga buyers are also the most diverse group of buyers of comics and graphic novels; they are 20 percent less likely to be white than the overall population of comics and graphic novels buyers.
"There is a whole new audience emerging for comics and graphic novels; these readers are younger, they are more diverse, and they are getting their books from a much wider range of channels than we typically think of for comics," said Kristen McLean, industry analyst for NPD Books. "This is also a very interesting category when it comes to crossover and media tie-ins from across entertainment, including film, toys, and gaming. We have seen this category grow for a few years now, and we have no reason to think it's just a flash in the pan."

DC and Marvel have had declining sales for a long time now. DC and Marvel do need to find a new way to appeal to younger readers outside of the comic shop bubble.
So let me get this straight.
- For all ongoing series, the last 3 chapters will be ad-supported and free to read.
- For $2/mo, I can read every English SJ manga ever released at 100ch/day. (Ads? No ads?)
- For older releases, I will have access to all the magazine content (editorials, author notes, etc.), but going forward, it will just be straight manga chapters.
