Attack On Titan Publisher Kodasha Debuts On ComiXology

Not to be outdone by Viz Media and Weekly Shonen Jump, manga publisher Kondasha Comics is making its ComiXology debut with Attack on Titan.

Attack on Titan makes up four of the 350 Kondasha titles appearing on ComiXology today. These include the original Attack on Titan, prequel Attack on Titan: Before the Fall, Levi and Erwin origin story Attack on Titan: No Regrets, and comedic reimagining Attack on Titan: Junior High.

Other titles include Noragami: Stray God, Sankarea, Missions of Love, and Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches.

“It’s wonderful to bring our deep manga library to comiXology and their passionate audience,” said Alvin Lu, General Manager of Kodansha Advanced Media, the Kodansha subsidiary in charge of its digital distribution. “We’re thrilled to provide a significant boost to comiXology’s manga selection with some of the most-talked-about new manga series, such as Noragami, The Seven Deadly Sins, and of course Attack on Titan.”

This debut should bring the already phenomenally popular Attack on Titan series to a whole new audience, along with other titles from the storied manga publisher.

“Kodansha is a publisher that comiXology fans have been clamoring to read on our platform,” said David Steinberger, comiXology’s co-founder and CEO. “I’m a huge fan of Attack on Titan and can’t wait to gift the first volume to friends and family and have them experience this great series on our platform for the first time!”
