We've been sent news from Japanese publishing giant Shueisha about their latest ambitious manga project. Manga Million is a new manga platform with titles available in 100 languages. with almost 400 titles and 1 million pages, It currently offers access to all this manga for free, legally, worldwide without registration. Currently this appears to be a limited time offer to get the manga out there. We're not sure if in the future you'll have to pay for access.
Titles include One Piece, Spy x Family, Chainsaw Man, Dr. Stone, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, My Hero Academia, Death Note and many, many more. It also includes the odd one shot like Look Back.
The titles are put up as tasters, so you can get a feel for if you like the title or not. Most of the manga published on Manga Million is available in English via VIZ Media, which is co-owned by Shueisha.
Manga Million likes to remind us that it didn't use AI when translating the titles it offers, however it has rightly drawn criticism as none of the translators are credited for their work.

"Japanese manga has flourished through the passionate artistry of countless manga creators and the unwavering support of readers, growing into a cultural phenomenon embraced across borders around the world.

"The project began with a simple question: what if we marked Shueisha's 100th anniversary by translating one million pages of manga into 100 languages? As we developed the concept, we also saw it as a way to address the language barriers that still prevent many readers around the world from accessing manga. We hope that MANGA MILLION, an unprecedented translation initiative spanning 100 languages and one million pages, will spark new discoveries and connections between readers and Japanese manga."
