So are there any plan for a North American/US release for this manga reader? Will the US/North American version beside including manga, will it include comic/graphic novels from US publishers like DC, Marvel, IDW, etc...?

Man, seeing Switch getting a manga reader service takes me back to when the PSP/Playstation Portable used to have digital comic until the service was shut down in 2012, and yes the PSP also has manga too only for Japan AFAIK. I recalled and have fond memories of reading Seven Seas Entertainment's OEL manga on the PSP (I believe I have a old ANN press release on this. Oh by the way, the downloadable OEL manga on PSP from Seven Seas did sort of really well). So seeing Switch possibly getting a manga reader kind of brings back memories of the reading comic and manga on PSP in late 2000's.
