Crunchyroll Manga Service To Remove Kodansha Titles

It looks like things just got harder for all you Kodansha lovers. If you have been keeping up with the publisher’s titles on Crunchyroll, you need to brace yourself. After all, Kodansha just confirmed it is ending its partnership with Crunchyroll Manga.

So, if you have been holding out with Attack on Titan, you better binge the manga series ASAP.

According to new reports, Crunchyroll informed users on Friday that Kodansha’s manga titles will be taken down from its manga service beginning in this month. All titles which have ended serialization will be taken down from Crunchyroll on February 28. From that point forward, fans can still purchase the titles as eBooks on Crunchyroll Manga or through sellers like Amazon.

The titles affected by the February 2018 deadline can be found below:

• A Silent Voice
  A Town Where You Live
  As the Gods Will: The Second Series
  Coppelion
  Fort of Apocalypse
  Inuyashiki
  Maga Tsuki
  My Wife is Wagatsuma-san
  Mysterious Girlfriend X
  Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth – Side:P3
  Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth – Side:P4
  Princess Jellyfish
  Unlimited Fafnir
  Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches

Crunchyroll announced it will no longer offer most of Kodansha’s on-going titles starting March 1. You can find that list of titles below as well:

• Ajin
  The Heroic Legend of Arslan
  Attack on Titan
  Fuuka
  GTO: Paradise Lost
  Kiss Him, Not Me
  Space Brothers
  The Seven Deadly Sins
  Sweetness and Lightning
  UQ HOLDER!

So far, it seems there is only one Kodansha title that will not be affected by this shift. Fairy Tail will still be available on Crunchyroll Manga as all 30 volumes will be available on the service starting March 1. The series wrapped last year once creator Hiro Mashima published its final chapter, and Kodansha released its final manga volume not too long ago.
