KOMODO Launching Exclusive Manga on Niuhi, Free Translations for Creators, and more
KOMODO is springing into action this May with a host of Manga and Comic releases, creator and customer contests, and Comitia, a popular indie manga and art event in Japan.
Leading off the activities is an offer manga and comic creators won’t be able to refuse - free professional translation of one of their works offered on NIUHI, KOMODO ’s online destination for Manga and Comics. Additionally, during the offer period, KOMODO will be running a special social media giveaway where you could win a Steam Deck!
More details for the free translation offer will be announced next week. For more information on NIUHI, visit https://newmanganow.com.
Also coming next week is KOMODO’s first original Manga - the sci-fi action series MOON CIDERS created by prolific Japanese manga artist TALI (X profile) who first splashed onto the manga scene in 2009 by winning the Grand Prize at the 14th Square Enix Manga Awards, and produced by KOMODO’s very own Sakura Shimizu, whose previous works include the popular anime Tokyo Mew Mew New (2021) and the TV drama Smells Like Green Spirit (2024). MOON CIDERS will be TALI’s first work available in languages beyond Japanese. A few chapters of the original work will be made available free of charge to anyone with a NIUHI account (no purchase necessary).
And rounding out the month, KOMODO will be showcasing NIUHI and many Manga titles available on NIUHI at the Comitia convention in Tokyo. At the NIUHI booth, you'll discover a unique reading experience featuring indie manga from Japan, Hong Kong, and beyond and more for customers. In addition, representatives from KOMODO will be on hand to meet with creators to discuss publishing on NIUHI.
