With this expansion of the platform, fans can browse and access their digital manga from VIZManga.com and through the VIZ Manga Apps for the iPad\u2122 and iPhone\u2122\/iPod\u2122 touch. With one account, registered users will be able to view their purchases across even more devices than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur digital publishing team wants manga to be available to as many fans as possible, no matter what device or digital experience people prefer,\u201d said Brian Piech, Vice President, Digital Publishing.\u00a0 \u201cMaking our extensive library of the best titles direct from Japan available on VIZManga.com is a natural extension of our current VIZ MANGA apps available on all iOS devices. One purchase can now be read across multiple devices.\u201d<\/p>\n

VIZ Media\u2019s digital manga platform allows for universal access for fans from their iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or now, VIZManga.com.
