Crunchyroll MANGA

Last week, I heard about Crunchyroll deciding to add manga to their website. How? Well Crunchyroll has partnered with Kodansha! I was soooooo excited but I really kinda... forgot (oops...) with all the Halloween festivities happening, but thanks to Twitter - I found out that it opened today!

It's not much there, but I'm sure that in the coming future they will add much, much more to their archive. Who am I kidding, though? They have enough there for you! Titles include: Attack on Titan, Space Brother's, FairyTail, Mysterious Girlfriend X, Fort of Apocalypse, and more. Some of these are from currently airing anime's or anime's that just ended a season like Attack on Titan, so you can get your fix until the next season airs!

For Free Users - only the newest chapters will be available; ads will be there.
Premium Users - Recent Chapters, ad free, Back Catalog for each manga - Chapter 1 to the most recent chapter.

The best part - WE WILL BE GETTING THESE CHAPTERS THE SAME DAY AS JAPAN!

If you're like me... this is great. You get manga the same day as Japan, you get to support the company's, and you get quality translations.

I can't stress enough how a shitty translation by fans can sometimes completely ruin my experience, because I have to go on another site and try to find a better version & by then, I'm slightly annoyed. (I mean, you get used to it, but you know...)

The only downfall I see of this is, many manga sites run by fan translators may get shut down because... that's basically pirating. Most sites are going by the "Fair Use Clause". I hope it doesn't happen anywhere in the near future because Crunchyroll only has 12 titles up. I only really read 3 of these titles so... yea.

Here are the titles if you are interested!
