posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The "Digimon Con 2024" livestream event on Sunday revealed that the franchise staff will launch a web manga platform on the main Digimon website and will release manga on the platform in English and Japanese (the livestream was unclear whether all manga on the platform will get releases in both languages).
The web manga platform will also release manga that won the "Digimon Comic Award," as well as other works. Additionally, the staff will launch a new "Digimon Novel Competition" with submissions being accepted from mid-March to mid-June. Winning works will also release on the platform.
Yabuno ended the Digimon Dreamers manga on March 4. The manga's second volume will release on April 4.
Yabuno launched the series in Shueisha's Saikyō Jump magazine in October 2021. Akiyoshi Hongo is credited with the original story. Bandai started publishing the comic with an English translation by MediBang in 2023. Shueisha shipped the first volume in December 2022.
