ComicNewtype Turns 10 with a Free Summer Reading Campaign

ComicNewtype 10th anniversary campaign banner

On July 1, 2026, KADOKAWA announced a 10th-anniversary campaign for ComicNewtype, its long-running webcomic label on KadoComi. The headline offer is a 10-day reading event that starts on July 10, 2026: every day, a different set of titles will be free to read for 24 hours, with a broader ebook discount campaign and a giveaway campaign running alongside it.

What Was Announced

The fair runs on KadoComi from July 10, 2026, 11:00 JST to July 20, 2026, 11:00 JST. The official release frames it as a way to let readers discover manga that gained extra attention through anime adaptation or broader fandom visibility. The lineup includes Girls' High School Wastage on July 10, Super Cub on July 11, Pandora in the Crimson Shell on July 12, and Metamorphose no Engawa on July 13, with other titles such as Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! and Clevatess also included in the campaign page.

KADOKAWA also said the ebook discount campaign continues until July 23, 2026, so the anniversary push is not just a short promo burst. It is a longer entry point into the label’s catalog.

Why It Matters

This kind of campaign works because it lowers the barrier between anime fandom and source material. Fans who know a title from its adaptation can sample the manga without guessing where to start, while readers who already follow ComicNewtype get a clean, curated reminder of how broad the label is.

It also says something about KADOKAWA's editorial strategy. Instead of treating the 10th anniversary as a self-congratulatory brand moment, the company is using it to move readers through a set of titles that already have clear hooks: school comedy, slice of life, fantasy, and post-anime discovery value.

Context for International Fans

ComicNewtype is described on the official page as a genre-spanning manga label on KadoComi, with updates on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 JST. That schedule matters because it shows how the platform is built around a steady reading rhythm, not only one-off events.

For overseas readers, the fair is also a practical shortcut. If you watch seasonal anime and want to explore the original manga, this is the sort of official campaign that makes the jump easier. The fair page and portal page are both in Japanese, but the titles and dates are straightforward to follow.

What Happens Next

The first 24-hour free window opens on July 10, 2026. After that, the daily rotation continues through July 20, 2026, and the ebook discount campaign stays live until July 23, 2026. If you want to use the fair efficiently, check the official campaign page on the day a title is scheduled, then move to the portal page for the broader ComicNewtype catalog.

Image
On June 20, 2026, the official Rilakkuma anime website and a San-X press release introduced a new key visual and a second promotional video for the series. The update also gave the project its latest story title, Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou , while keeping the show in its current TV and streaming rollout. What Was Announced The announcement is straightforward but important: Rilakkuma now has a second PV and a new key visual tied to the Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou story line.

Image
On June 21, 2026, the official site for Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily confirmed that the anime’s second cour will begin in October 2026. The same day, the site also introduced a new character, Asahi, voiced by Kyori Nemoto. A follow-up report on V-STORAGE repeated the announcement and added context about where the series sits inside Pierrot’s long-running magical-girl tradition. What Was Announced The official news page says Episode 12, “Song...” closed the first cour on June 21 and that the second cour is scheduled for October 2026.

It is a small update on paper, but it gives the next p...

What Was Announced The lineup is straightforward: five characters, each in the special collaboration outfit. The announced set includes Yoichi Isagi, Seishiro Nagi, Reo Mikage, Rin Itoshi, and Yo Hiori. According to the press release, the figures are about 11 cm tall. The company also notes that Blue Lock had passed 60 million copies worldwide as of June 2026, which explains why even a small-format prize revival can still attract attention. The key practical detail for collectors is that the item is framed as a prize releas...
