What Mangamo Readers Need to Know About The Upcoming In-App Kodansha USA Publishing Catalog Changes

[December 5, 2025 -- Tokyo, Japan] At the start of the new year, 2026, Mangamo and Kodansha USA Publishing will be making some adjustments to the catalog of titles available on the Mangamo app that subscription users need to be aware of. 

What's New:
Everything that's changing, and what these changes mean moving forward.

Currently on the Mangamo App, all available Kodansha titles fall under the following categories:
● Subscription – Kodansha titles that are available with a Mangamo Subscription
● Transactional (Coin Purchase) – Kodansha titles that are available with a one time coin purchase

For the first time since the Mangamo App was launched, Kodansha's subscription offerings will be updated. More than 200+ titles will be added to the subscription availability. Some titles that are currently available via your subscription plan will also be removed, and moving forward, will require purchasing coins in order to read.

The overall number of Kodansha titles on Mangamo will be changing as well:
● The complete Kodansha catalog – 1,591 volumes across 341 series
● Additions – 843 new volumes across 211 new series
● Removals – 494 volumes across 30 series

A key note to remember is this does not mean content will be removed from the app permanently, just that it will be removed from being included within subscription. For more detailed information, including a full list of the volume removals and additions, please refer to the designated news post on the Mangamo website.

Kodansha's current catalog on the Mangamo App will remain available to readers until December 31st, 2025. Moving into the new year, all changes will be implemented.
