At CES 2025, Crunchyroll announced a new manga app, "Crunchyroll Manga," marking a return to the market after shutting down a previous service last year. The app aims to be the premier destination for anime fans to read manga, offering a catalog from renowned publishers. Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini stated it's designed to enhance Crunchyroll memberships and meet the growing demand for digital manga among anime fans. While a 2025 release is planned, specifics on timing and pricing, including whether it will be a premium add-on or standalone purchase, remain unclear, sparking fan discussion and speculation.
