The largest publisher in Japan, Kodansha, has been involved in publishing manga for decades. The large company is associated with Walt Disney and serves as an official sponsor for Tokyo Disneyland and established Kodansha Comics in 2009, bringing its immense manga library to many other countries.

Now, that library of Kodansha titles on izeno has expanded to four hundred different titles available on the platform.
Kodansha's library of manga titles is known worldwide. From Attack on Titan to Fire Force, Battle Angel Alita, Fairy Tail, Ghost in the Shell, The Seven Deadly Sins, Space Brothers, and izeno will include these and many more in several different languages worldwide. izeno can be accessed at its website and on the izeno ap on iOS and Android devices as well as the Nintendo Switch and Android TV. However, to access the full library contents, an izeno premium subscription will be required.
Kodansha Izneo Announcement
As manga publishers have tried to continue to keep profits up with a shrinking print publishing market in Japan and worldwide, this move makes sense for Kodansha as they try to expand their online presence. The izeno, service in addition to Kodansha's vast manga library, offers comic books ranging from Transformers to G.I. Joe, to comics based on the Pathfinder RPG (titles published by IDW and Dynamite, in the U.S., respectfully). However, the service does not seem to be yet set up for U.S. subscribers as the cost is still set in Euros for English language usage.
