By June of this year, Kodansha's all manga magazines will get simultaneous digital release with print editions, Asahi Shimbun reported today. It includes the publisher's flagship manga magazine Weekly Shonen Magazine, whose circulation in Japan is 1.32 million. The change will start with Weekly Young Magazine (circulation: 670,000) on January 5, Monthly Shonen Magazine (660,000) on 6, then Weekly Shonen Magazine on 7. The price for the digital editions has not been confirmed.
