The titles will appear in comiXology’s Manga Fixed Format, which is a dedicated right-to-left full-page traditional manga reading experience.
The full list of titles available immediately includes: Bakuman (all volumes), Bleach (all volumes and same day as print), Blue Exorcist, Claymore, Death Note, Dragon Ball Full Color (Saiyajin), Dragon Ball/ Dragon Ball Z, Hikaru No Go, Knights of the Zodiac, Nana, Naruto, One Piece, One-Punch Man, Rosario + Vampire, Rosario + Vampire Season II, Rurouni Kenshin, Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration, Shaman King, Tenjo Tenge, and The Prince of Tennis.
This is the first major announcement of a new distribution relationship for comiXology since Amazon announced its acquisition of the company in April (see "The Retailer Side of ComiXology Acquisition").
