Shueisha Launches MANGA MILLION: 400 Manga Series, Free in 100+ Languages, for Its 100th Anniversary

Article

For its 100th anniversary, Shueisha didn't just look back — it opened its entire catalog to the world, for free.

What MANGA MILLION Actually Offers

Launched August 6, 2026, MANGA MILLION provides roughly 400 manga series — a combined one million pages — translated into more than 100 languages, with no registration required. The lineup spans Shueisha's biggest franchises: ONE PIECE (translated into 107 languages alone), NARUTO, BLEACH, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kingdom, OSHI NO KO, SPY×FAMILY, and Chainsaw Man, plus over 150 shojo and josei titles including NANA and Kimi ni Todoke.

Real Professional Translation, at Scale

Every translation is handled by professional translators — not machine translation — and roughly 300 of the included titles are receiving their first official English translation ever through this project. The service is confirmed to run through the end of December 2027, giving fans a genuinely extended window to explore it.

What To Know

For international fans who've only ever accessed Shueisha's biggest titles through unofficial scanlations, MANGA MILLION offering genuinely professional, official translations of ~300 titles for the first time — in 100+ languages, with zero cost or sign-up barrier — is a fundamentally different kind of access than has existed before.

A major legacy publisher choosing to mark its 100th anniversary with a global, multilingual, free-access initiative — rather than a Japan-only commemorative event — reflects how central international readership has become to how Japan's manga industry now measures its own cultural legacy, not just a domestic milestone.

What Fans Are Saying

• "300 titles getting their first-ever official English translation is enormous."
• "Free, no sign-up, professional translation — this is genuinely unprecedented access."
• "Shueisha turning their 100th anniversary into a gift for the whole global fanbase is a great move."
