Viz’s ‘Weekly Shonen Jump’ Now on Comixology, Kindle
Manga publisher Viz Media is teaming with Comixology and its parent company, Amazon, to debut Weekly Shonen Jump, its weekly digital manga magazine, on both the digital comics marketplace and the Kindle store platform.
Weekly Shonen Jump is an English language digital manga anthology published each week simultaneously with the original print edition in Japan. The digital magazine gives North American, European, South African and Australian manga fans what they want—the most popular manga being read in Japan on the same day its available to Japanese readers.
Weekly Shonen Jump offers chapters from some of Viz Media’s most popular, bestselling series including Bleach, Food Wars! And One Piece. The new deal will make Shone Jump Weekly manga excerpts available to consumers using Fire Tablets and Kindle e-readers as well as iOS and Android devices.
Andy Nakatani, editor in chief of Weekly Shonen Jump, said, “We’re excited to expand the readership of this magazine to Comixology and Kindle audience.
