Attack on Titan Manga Gets Same Day Release in Japanese and English

English fans of Attack on Titan will no longer have to wait months to read the hit manga. Kodansha Comics has announced it will begin releasing chapters of the popular manga in both Japanese and English, thanks to a new program with partners Comixology and Amazon. Fans will be able to read English chapters of Attack on Titan, beginning this week. Kodansha has also released every previous chapter on Comixology to help fans catch up with the series, including four chapters that have not been released in the United States. Previously, there was a several month delay between the Japanese and English release of the manga due to translation time.

In addition to Attack on Titan, Kodansha is also pushing same day Japanese and English copies for all their manga series. Other titles now available on Comixology includes Fairy Tail, The Seven Deadly Sins and Space Brothers. Individual chapters of the series range from $0.99-$1.99 depending on the series. It should be noted that these "chapters" are the ones found in Kodansha's weekly anthology series and differ from the manga collections typically found in comic and book stores.

Comixology also has weekly copies of Shonen Jump available, which contain chapters of comics such as Assassination Classroom, Bleach and One Piece.
