On June 3rd in Japan, MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA, a prominent manga platform, is thrilled to announce that it has surpassed 28,000,000 app downloads as of May 2024. This milestone comes just over five years since the service’s launch.
To celebrate this significant achievement, MANGA Plus is introducing a new limited-time feature that allows users to support their favorite manga creators by watching ads. This feature is available in all nine languages supported on the app and can be accessed by users worldwide.
MangaPlus Introduces New Feature: Watch Ads to Support Manga Creators
Starting from June 3rd, 12 pm (JST), or 3 am (GMT), users will have the option to watch an advertisement after reading a chapter on the MANGA Plus app.
A portion of the ad revenue generated will be directly distributed to the respective manga creators. This initiative aims to highlight and support the manga creators who pour their hearts and souls into their work.
It also provides overseas readers with a direct way to show their support and bridges the gap between them and the manga creators. This initiative is possible because MANGA Plus is a service run directly by the editorial team in Japan.
How It Works:
- Read a Chapter: Read a chapter on the MANGA Plus app as usual.
- Watch an Ad: At the end of the chapter, there will be a prompt to watch an ad.
- Support Creators: A portion of the ad revenue goes directly to the manga creator.
- Continue Reading: Read more from the same creator, or find a new title and manga creator to support.
