Attack on Titan Manga App Launches from Kodansha Comics

The popular manga Attack on Titan now has its own iOS app, featuring chapter updates, graphic novels, and Motion Books in English, along with interviews and videos to prepare for season 2 of the anime.

Kodansha Comics announced today the release of a manga and newfeed app dedicated to its unbelievably popular property Attack on Titan, which was an unexpected hit when it debuted in 2009 and quickly became the best-selling new manga to come out of Japan in a decade.

“This app celebrates Attack on Titan as a global phenomenon,” said Alvin Lu, General Manager of Kodansha Advanced Media. “Hajime Isayama’s original vision is now a world unto itself, and the Attack on Titan manga app takes you right into the heart of it—you get caught up with the latest developments at once. And the news and feature feeds provide behind-the-scenes access to the creation of the manga and anime like no place else.”

Some of the features of this new app include:

• full catalog of all chapters and volumes of the manga, including every spinoff series
• latest manga chapters available as they come out from Japan
• free Motion Books viewable only on the app
• news feeds, including exclusive interviews and video about the Attack on Titan property, with breaking announcements leading up to the Season 2 of the anime
• bundle packs for new fans to get caught up quick

“As Attack on Titan makes its long awaited comeback in 2017,” said Ben Wolstenholme, CEO and Co-Founder of Madefire, “we’re extremely proud to partner with Kodansha Comics—one of the top manga publishers in the world—and bring their hit franchise to the Motion Book Publisher platform. It’s exciting to be a part of their digital-first strategy with the multimedia iOS app and cutting edge Motion Books, and bring this seminal work to a new generation.”
