New York Times recently had a report on digital comics coming to the Wii in Japan.

According to the article, “Four of Japan’s biggest comic book or ‘manga’ publishers are coming together to bring digital versions of their magazines to Nintendo’s Wii console.”

“The companies, Kadokawa, Kodansha, Shueisha and Shogakukan, have formed a joint venture with a local software house that aims to be the first to bring digital comics to the hit console. The venture, called Librica, was formed in July and will deliver comics through the Wii Ware software channel to users. An Internet connection will be required to use the service.”
