So, an app that you can read all manga on?? Sounds nice and all, but there's already so many companies that have their own online reader and I bet there would be charges to read it as well. Will the app be free to download and then charge you within the app? So many questions.

Took until the end of the article to realize it was an app.
Wondering what exactly it is.

Because application only means "app"?

While "manga application" can mean a form/document you submit a manga idea/proposal, could someone give me their take on what a "scale" manga application is?

In this context, the overwhelmingly vast majority of the time, yes.

An app to read all manga from Kodansha? I want to know more about it and they should get other publishers onboard eventually.

For all the people rolling eyes at the confusion over what the article refers to, I'll note that application (software app) and application (form to apply for something) are used interchangeably IN THE ARTICLE ITSELF.

Kodansha is specifically looking for application designers, system engineers, data analysts, and media managers. Applications can be made on their recruitment website until May 19
