A lot of their manga is being released on MangaPlaza too. There's at least 51 manga already released since a year ago!

So the publisher owned by the same company that owns the Wall Street Journal is distributing manga... interesting.

Who also owns Tubi who streams anime, including Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid at one point (until license expired).


Weird that it's the Japan branch who's publishing manga in NA.

They're pretty good, or at least, good enough to keep reading.

Most of them seem to be along the same lines as the romance comics released by Harlequin (but not actual Harlequin adaptations). They're fun.
