Kodansha Print Club update announcement
Kodansha Print Club is a print-on-demand program Kodansha announced in October last year, where they will be bringing their fan-favorite digital-first titles to print.

Kodansha announces that all three of these titles will be available for purchase starting next week. They ask readers to check-in with their preferred manga retailer, as the availability will depend on the individual retailer.
The publisher addresses concerns and questions regarding the shipping, especially of those international readers.

We are still working to ensure that KPC titles are available to international readers through retailers outside the United States. Keep an eye out for further updates!
