Manga Plus Adds Shintaro Tengan's MikotoHako Series to Its Catalog
Manga Plus has added the manga titled MikotoHako by Shintaro Tengan to its official catalog. According to Anime News Network's report dated August 3, 2026, the series began publication on Shonen Jump+ and simultaneously met Manga Plus readers. The announcement stated, “Shintaro Tengan's series is published simultaneously on Shonen Jump+.”
Shueisha's digital manga app Manga Plus has been known since 2019 for delivering Japanese publications simultaneously to all corners of the world. This joint system with Shonen Jump+ in Japan has allowed series such as Dandadan, Kaiju No. 8, and Oshi no Ko to be read in English and Spanish on the same day as their initial release in Japan, without waiting for translation. MikotoHako has also become one of the latest titles offered to readers through this simulpub model.
This series by Shintaro Tengan stands out as part of Manga Plus's recent strategy to support new talent. The platform not only brings major productions but also works published by young creators on digital platforms to international readers instantly. In this way, Tengan also gained the chance to reach his followers both in Japan and abroad at the same time.
Although no detailed introduction has been made about the plot of MikotoHako yet, such additions carry an important announcement for manga fans. Because each new simulpub series added to the Manga Plus catalog shows that Japan's digital manga initiative continues to gain visibility on a global scale. In the coming weeks, new chapters of MikotoHako are also expected to be added to Manga Plus simultaneously, and the story is expected to enter the radar of a wider readership.
