As the winter chill settles in, emaqi, Orange Inc.’s digital manga storefront, unwraps an exciting collection of new releases and holiday recommendations that promise to keep readers cozy and entertained. The platform’s latest update brings a compelling mix of genres, from historical epics to heartwarming slice-of-life stories, alongside an irresistible holiday promotion for newcomers to the world of digital manga.
The headline promotion catching everyone’s attention runs until December 19, 2024, offering an impressive 80% discount for first-time buyers on select titles. This welcome campaign makes it easier than ever for curious readers to dive into the world of manga, with clear eligibility requirements and easy-to-spot badges marking participating titles.
Leading the new releases is “Dívčí válka: Maidens’ War,” a gripping 18+ historical epic by Kouichi Ohnishi. Set in 1420 Bohemia, this unflinching narrative follows 12-year-old Šárka as she navigates the tumultuous period of the Hussite Wars. Based on actual events, the story offers a unique perspective on one of Europe’s most significant religious conflicts through the eyes of its young protagonist.
Complementing the historical drama is “S friends,” an 18+ romantic drama by Yoriko Minato that explores mature relationships and second chances. The story follows Shoko, a single mother whose reunion with her first love at a class reunion leads to complicated emotions and challenging decisions about love and physical connection.
For the holiday season, emaqi has curated a special selection of titles that capture the spirit of warmth and connection. “Parallel Leap Syndrome” offers a whimsical take on romance across parallel universes, perfect for readers who enjoy contemplating the “what-ifs” of love. The charming “Neko oji” brings humor to the workplace through an unlikely premise: a salaryman reincarnated as a kitten, creating an unexpectedly touching story about connection and adaptation.
“Can I take your photo?” presents a touching journey of self-discovery, following an introverted high school student named Mito as she finds her voice through photography. Meanwhile, “Somari and the Guardian of the Forest” explores the touching bond between a human child and a forest guardian in a world where humans face extinction, offering a poignant reflection on family and connection.
Rounding out the holiday recommendations is “Flower Demon Door of the Sakaimeya,” a supernatural tale that bridges the human and yokai worlds. This series perfectly embodies the season’s spirit of unity and understanding, as it chronicles the efforts to help supernatural beings peacefully coexist with humans.
Each title in this winter collection has been carefully selected to offer something special for manga enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Whether readers are seeking historical drama, romantic intrigue, supernatural adventure, or heartwarming slice-of-life stories, emaqi’s holiday lineup provides a diverse range of options to explore, all enhanced by the generous welcome campaign for first-time buyers.
For those interested in exploring these titles and more, all selections are available through emaqi’s digital storefront, where readers can easily identify eligible titles for the 80% discount through special badges and detailed campaign information. The promotion cannot be combined with other discounts, but the significant savings on original retail prices make this an ideal time for new readers to begin their manga journey.
