The end of the manga app
A few days ago Crunchyroll announced that it’s going to shut down their manga app on December 11, 2023. This goes for both the web and mobile platforms. The streaming service didn’t provide any particular information about the reasons behind such a decision. The official Crunchyroll message says that it’s made “in continuous effort to provide fans with the best experiences surrounding their favorite series”.
Crunchyroll also followed with some more news, and announced that users can experience the world of manga by visiting the Crunchyroll Store. It offers more than 17,000 works of various genres, and includes the biggest series there are, such as Jujutsu Kaisen or Chainsaw Man.
Is there going to be another app?
The streaming service doesn’t stop there, and reassures fans that this is not the end of their journey together. Crunchyroll states that they are working on providing more content and products to the fans. This might mean that a new app or somewhat of a replacement for the old one is coming, but we can’t be sure since there hasn’t been any further details.
The news was met with little feedback from the fans. Some were even surprised by the fact that the manga app existed in the first place. A number of readers admit to have never been using Crunchyroll for reading manga, and preferring other services.
Crunchyroll stating that they are trying to provide the best experience for anime fans has attracted some of the fans’ attention. They found this sentence funny, since the service provides less value now. However, such a claim was met with disagreement. Crunchyroll is trying its best; they’ve kept the prices the same and have doubled the amount of content available on their website, which shows that they do indeed want fans to enjoy their experience more.
Fans also suggest that there was a choice between cutting down the manga part of Crunchyroll and increasing its monthly fee, and the streaming service decided to go with the first option. Which is the more satisfying outcome for the fans.
