The free professional translation campaign runs from May 27th to June 16th (Hawai'i Time), offering translations for a selected 100 indie titles! And yes—art-focused pieces are totally welcome, too! As part of this campaign, creators can choose one language from the following, and all translations are handled by professional translators with a rich background in manga and game localization. And, beyond using the translation to distribute your manga digitally on NIUHI, creators are free to use the translated version in printed physical books without any revenue sharing obligation!

● English
● Japanese
● Traditional Chinese
● Simplified Chinese
● Korean

Those who publish their work on NIUHI will also enjoy an industry leading royalty split, access to community translation, and more all while avoiding the cumbersome approval processes involved with publishing through other online stores. We are excited to help bring the work of amazing indie creators beyond borders and into the hands of manga fans around the world.

And that's not all! During the campaign, join our special social media giveaway for a chance to win amazing prizes—including a new Steam Deck OLED!
