Shueisha Announces 'Digital-First' Strategy — The End of Physical Books?
Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese
Shueisha announced today that it will gradually shift to a digital-first strategy:
1. New serializations will be published first on the JUMP+ digital platform.
2. The physical Weekly Shounen JUMP will have fewer pages.
3. Launch a new digital subscription service.
4. Some works will be released digitally only.
For physical-book fans, this is really bad news. Although digitalization is the trend, holding a physical JUMP is a feeling that the digital version can never replace. What do you think?
