Duel Masters RX Manga Moves to Digital Platform: Continuing on Weekly Coro Coro Comic Online
The Duel Masters RX manga is making a significant change in its publication strategy by transitioning to the Weekly Coro Coro Comic online magazine. The series, which debuted on March 13, 2026, and was initially presented as a physical magazine supplement, will now be available through Shogakukan's free digital platform. This move aims to help the series reach a wider audience more quickly and adapt to current manga trends.
The Duel Masters legend has held an unshakable place in the manga world since 1999 with adventures penned by Shigenobu Matsumoto. Born from the collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Takara Tomy, this massive franchise initially focused on the Magic: The Gathering game before creating its own unique card game and becoming a phenomenon. Duel Masters RX (also known as Reverse Cross), as the freshest link in this deep-rooted history, appears as a direct sequel to the previous series, Duel Masters Win.
The story of the series features a major crossover that will excite fans. The current protagonist, Win Kirifuda, enters the manga world to join forces with the legendary original lead, Shobu Kirifuda. This nostalgic meeting aims to bring both old and new generations of fans together on common ground. With the transition to the digital platform, access to the chapters of this epic encounter will become much easier, and readers will be able to witness new adventures every week.
The magazine's move toward digitalization reflects the general trend in today's manga industry. Weekly Coro Coro Comic Online aims to increase the series' popularity by offering readers free access and more frequent updates. Especially considering the digital reading habits of the young audience, this is seen as a strategic move. Fans will now be able to follow this new era, bearing the signature of Shigenobu Matsumoto, on the online platform every week.
