Crunchyroll to launch new manga app in 2025
Crunchyroll will give its premium members a new way to read manga.
Revealed at yesterday’s CES 2025 press conference, Crunchyroll Manga is slated to launch later this year on iOS and Android devices in the U.S. and Canada. The service will be a premium add-on. Manga will launch on the app in English, but it’ll feature more languages in the future. Web browser integration will be revealed in the future.
Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll said this about the new app:
“Crunchyroll Manga will be a premiere online manga app that carries catalogs from renowned publishers, offering fans unparalleled access to the visionary works that inspire the anime we love. As we strengthen partnerships in this exciting new venture, we aim to add even more value to the Crunchyroll membership, complementing our vast anime library, Crunchyroll Game Vault, and extensive selection of products in the Crunchyroll Store.
Research shows that nearly 70% of anime fans read digital manga at least once a month, highlighting the immense demand for this medium. Crunchyroll Manga will not only meet this growing interest but also fuel the continued global popularity of anime and manga alike.”
