MANGA Plus Launches New Feature That Will Let Fans Support Creators Directly

Summary MANGA Plus introduces ad-watch feature for fans to support creators directly.

Readers can now watch ads to support their favorite mangaka.

The feature is available to all users between June 3 to June 31.

Shonen Jump's popular manga app MANGA Plus is now giving fans a chance to support their favorite creators through a new limited-time event. Among Shueisha's many platforms, Manga Plus is quickly climbing the ranks, and its latest feature now allows readers to directly support their favorite manga artists from anywhere in the world.

In celebration of 30 million app downloads, MANGA Plus is launching a new limited-time feature that allows readers to watch ads to support the creators behind their favorite manga series by watching ads on the app. Readers can choose to watch up to ten ads a day under a series of their choice and a portion of the ad revenue will go straight to the creator of the series.

This new feature will be available between June 3 to June 31, 2024, and is open to all users of the app including MANGA Plus Max subscribers. That said, the campaign specifies that the option to watch ads does not apply to all series offered on the app and some exclusions will apply.

Shueisha has never been shy when experimenting with new features, campaigns, and events, which makes Manga Plus' latest feature quite unsurprising in that regard. MANGA Plus also recently experimented with launching an online forum and though that feature was not made permanent after the event ended, there is a high likelihood that this new ad feature could be here to stay.

MANGA Plus has marketed its newest feature as an opportunity for readers to directly support the livelihoods of the creators they love, including the editors and the staff behind bringing these series to life. The campaign acknowledges that it is the support of dedicated readers that makes it possible for creators to continue crafting new stories and presents this event as a chance to empower readers even further.

As manga continues to be globalized, apps like MANGA Plus which offer simultaneous releases and multiple translations will continue to grow in popularity. As such, limited-time events such as this one are an excellent chance for readers from around the world to express their gratitude and support in a small easy way with just a few taps on a screen, especially if it isn't possible to buy a physical copy of the manga they love.
