The Crunchyroll Manga international expansion is now live in 11 new markets outside North America, giving fans in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka access to more than 250 titles in localized English. Crunchyroll announced the expansion on Oct. 7 during the company’s first Crunchyroll Anime Future Forum in New York City, according to Crunchyroll.
The move marks the first time readers outside the United States and Canada can access the service, which launched domestically a year ago. For manga fans in these newly added regions, it means titles tied to some of Crunchyroll’s biggest anime adaptations are now just an app download away, including The Apothecary Diaries.
What Crunchyroll Announced
Crunchyroll confirmed that the Crunchyroll Manga catalog is live on iOS, Android and web in the 11 new markets, with over 250 titles translated into English. The lineup draws from publishers including Square Enix, J-Novel Club and Yen Press.
Sample titles available at launch include The Apothecary Diaries, My Dress-Up Darling, Bocchi the Rock!, Bungo Stray Dogs, Delicious in Dungeon, Lycoris Recoil, Sasaki and Miyano, Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill and Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!, Crunchyroll said.
How Fans Can Access The Catalog
Access varies by market. In most of the newly added countries, Crunchyroll Manga is offered as a premium add-on for existing Crunchyroll members or bundled into an Ultimate Fan membership in most markets. In India, the service is available only through an Ultimate Fan membership, with no add-on option. Readers in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka can choose whether to add manga on top of an existing plan.
Background On Crunchyroll Manga
Crunchyroll Manga first launched in the United States and Canada in October 2025. In the year since, the service has grown to more than 450 titles from a wider roster of publishers, including AlphaPolis, COMPASS, J-Novel Club, Kodansha, MobileBook.jp, Shueisha, Square Enix, Titan Manga, VIZ Media, Yen Press and others.
That North American library is considerably larger than the 250-plus titles currently available in the new international markets, suggesting the overseas catalog has room to grow toward parity over time.
What’s Next
Crunchyroll said a fan-favorite action IP from VIZ Media is coming to the service following the international expansion, though the company has not named the title or timing. Fans can watch Crunchyroll’s own announcements or follow coverage on other Crunchyroll ventures, such as Crunchyroll Storyworks, the company’s new initiative for anime adaptations.
Fans curious about the anime side of Crunchyroll’s expanding slate can also track what is streaming now in the Fall 2026 anime lineup, which includes several titles tied to the manga catalog Crunchyroll just brought overseas.
