Akita Shoten's digital manga hubs, Champion Cross and Young Champion Web, have reached a significant milestone by exceeding 2 million cumulative registered members. To commemorate this achievement, a large-scale peel-off advertising campaign has launched at Shinjuku Station in Tokyo and Namba Station in Osaka. Fans can collect exclusive smartphone stickers featuring 100 iconic manga scenes, including two ultra-rare secret variants, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each sticker is designed with a QR code on the reverse side, allowing users to instantly access the specific manga chapter depicted in the art. This celebration isn't limited to transit hubs; bookstores across Japan are also participating by giving away stickers with any Akita Shoten purchase. This milestone underscores the massive growth of digital manga platforms and the creative ways publishers are engaging with their community in the post-print era.
