KEY POINTS

  • Manga fans usually use online sites that offer digital versions for their reading pleasure
  • Nintendo Switch now offers a wide range of manga content
  • This is made possible by an app called Ink App

The hybrid gaming console Nintendo Switch is known for its growing list of Switch titles. Although it is popular among gamers because of its portability, it does not have a lot of apps. Interestingly, one of its few apps is now getting a massive manga content drop.

Inky Pen, the comics eReader app on Nintendo Switch, has been in the hybrid console since 2018. The app caters to comics fan with all you can read content for a monthly fee of $7.99. Inky Pen recently collaborated with Kodansha and has introduced a wide range of manga for fans to read.

The new partnership added big hitters in the manga industry. This includes “Fairy Tail,” “Battle Angel Alita,” “The Ghost In The Shell,” “Your Lie In April,” and “Attack on Titan,” to name a few. The app also offers a few comics for free, but the wide range of manga content is only available through subscription. Interested users and manga fans could download the Ink App at the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch.
