Tokyo, Japan -July 19, 2018- Tokyo Otaku Mode has joined forces with online service MANGA.CLUB (operated by TORICO) to bring readers around the world an eclectic selection of officially licensed, multilingual manga.

MANGA.CLUB, which already has users in over 225 countries and territories, particularly focuses on stories that have never before been offered to an international audience. Available manga range from quirky one-shots to psychological horror to passionate BL and yuri. With 130+ titles and more coming soon, the rapidly expanding line-up gives readers access to hidden gems of the industry, including the latest in indie manga as well as true classics little-known outside Japan.
