The post CES 2025: Crunchyroll to Launch a New Manga App This Year appeared first on Graphic Policy.
Japanese comics – or manga, the source material for many beloved anime series – will become even more accessible in North America as Crunchyroll has announced a new app, Crunchyroll Manga, for fans to enjoy digital manga as part of a new premium option for Crunchyroll members.
Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini announced that the new app would be coming to Crunchyroll later this year during Sony Group Corporation’s press conference at CES 2025 in Las Vegas.
Home to the largest dedicated anime library, Crunchyroll will soon offer an all-new service, Crunchyroll Manga, making it easier than ever for fans to read brand-new and beloved titles from multiple top publishers all in one place.
Crunchyroll’s new app, Crunchyroll Manga, launches later this year as a standalone app on iOS and Android, debuting in the U.S. and Canada. Designed to complement Crunchyroll memberships, the app will be offered as a premium add-on, with web browser integration also planned for the future.
In the announcement, Purini noted that research shows that nearly 70% of anime fans read digital manga at least once a month.
Offering a vast array of stories across diverse genres, Crunchyroll Manga will feature both iconic titles and current fan favorites. Manga on Crunchyroll Manga will debut in English with the goal of increasing language options as the app expands similarly to Crunchyroll’s streaming service.
