KOMODO LAUNCHES EXCLUSIVE MANGA ON NIUHI
May 29, 2025- Today marks the release of KOMODO’s very first original Manga, MOON CIDERS, exclusively available now via NIUHI, the next-gen manga platform from KOMODO where you can discover, purchase, sell, and translate high-quality indie manga and comics from around the world.
Anyone with a NIUHI account (no purchase necessary) can check it out for FREE, now! Please visit https://newmanganow.com
Story:
Humanity had extended its peaceful way of life from Earth to the Moon, until one day a colossal creature they began calling “it” appeared.
When “it” began preying on humans, a mysterious warrior descended from the stars. Known only as Moon Cider, this enigmatic figure stands between hope and annihilation.
Featuring breathtaking, dynamic artwork and a gripping narrative that challenges readers to question the truth of Justice, MOON CIDERS, the first fully original title from NIUHI, was created by award-winning Japanese manga artist TALI, hailing from Shikoku, Japan.
The title was developed in collaboration with TALI, a manga artist duo from Kagawa, Japan, consisting of Takafumi (writer) and Ginko (artist). They debuted in Gangan in 2009 and won the Grand Prize at the Square Enix Manga Awards. In 2012, they made their serialization debut with 6 no Trigger in Shogakukan’s Gessan and have been active as serialized manga artists since then. Their notable works include Do Humans at the End of the World Need Civilization? and Katagiri-san, the Last-Minute Blocker.
Don’t miss TALI’s live drawing of MOON CIDERS characters - only at the NIUHI booth at this weekend’s popular indie manga and art event COMITIA in Tokyo. For those interested in COMITIA, NIUHI has a new blog that includes posts with tips and tricks for attendees. You can read more here: https://newmanganow.com/blog.
The release is part of an action packed May from KOMODO with a host of Manga, creator and customer contests, and trade show exhibits.
