KOMODO’s next-generation manga platform, NIUHI, is now officially available on the iPhone App Store in the United States and Japan. After testing the beta service on desktop this past year, NIUHI’s mobile app expansion debut marks a bold new chapter for the platform – bringing together indie manga, international stories, and creative communities all into one intuitive, accessible app.
Readers can now browse, purchase, and enjoy manga and comics from around the world directly from their iPhone following this launch. There are new features designed to personalize manga discovery and enjoyment for all fans.
