Akaneshinsha’s Opera manga magazine is moving to digital publication after releasing its 100th and final print issue on October 30, 2026. The editorial team announced the change on its official X account, confirming that the first digital-only issue is planned for spring 2027.
The commemorative issue celebrates the magazine’s history with contributions from 40 former creators, who revisit their characters and imagine their futures. A special exhibition marking the milestone will also take place in Tokyo from December 26, 2026, to January 24, 2027.
Launched in December 2005, Opera has published notable manga including Asumiko Nakamura’s Classmates and Syundei’s Go for It, Nakamura!.
The magazine’s digital transition will allow it to continue publishing beyond its final physical edition.
