MANGA Plus by Shueisha Celebrates 28,000,000 App Downloads With a New Limited-Time Feature on the App

Japan, June 3rd — MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA, a leading manga platform, is excited to announce the achievement of over 28,000,000 app downloads as of May 2024. This milestone comes a little over five years after the service's launch. To mark this significant achievement they are introducing a new limited-time feature that allows users to support their favorite manga creators by watching ads. The feature is available in all 9 languages supported on the app and can be accessed by users worldwide.

New Feature: Watch Ads to Support Manga Creators

From June 3rd 12 pm (JST), or 3 am (GMT), users will have the option to watch an advertisement after reading a chapter on MANGA Plus app. A portion of the ad revenue generated will be directly distributed to the respective manga creators. This initiative aims to highlight the manga creators who pour their hearts and souls into their work. It brings an opportunity for overseas readers to directly show their support and bridges the gap between overseas readers and manga creators. This initiative is made possible because MANGA Plus is a service run directly by the editorial team in Japan.

How It Works:
1. Read a chapter on the MANGA Plus app as usual.
2. Watch an Ad: At the end of the chapter, there will be a prompt to watch an ad.
3. Support Creators: A portion of the ad revenue goes directly to the manga creator.
4. Continue reading: Read more from the same creator, or find a new title and manga creator to send your support!

Quote from Deputy Editor-In-Chief Momiyama:
“We are thrilled to have reached 28 million downloads and are incredibly grateful to our dedicated user base,” said Deputy Editor-In-Chief Momiyama.
“Manga creators put their everything into creating manga with the help of editors. However, it's only because of the fans that we can continuously create new stories. With this new feature, users can watch an ad to support their favorite manga creator. We hope that this new feature will allow users to connect more with our platform, and have their voices heard by the manga creators and editors in Japan.”
