Orange Inc., an AI localization company established in April 2021, announced on Tuesday that its emaqi e-bookstore service is introducing a substantial wave of new content. The update includes the addition of five major manga titles published by Viz Media to the "emaqi Premium" monthly subscription service. These high-profile additions are Naruto, Kaiju No. 8, Black Torch, SPY x FAMILY, and Dr. Stone.
Simultaneously, the platform is debuting eight new exclusive manga titles this month, five of which will be accessible via the emaqi Premium subscription. The first exclusive release arrives on November 3 with How Did We Even Do It?! by Keigo Hayasaka. This 18+ series explores the challenges of a long-term couple facing a sexless relationship after seven years together.
Further releases follow later in the month, including I'd Rather Die Than Call You Cute! by Mashimi Mori and Kirin by Shōhei Harumoto, both launching on November 6. The former is a high school comedy centered on a "Miss Heroine" contest, while the latter is described as a high-octane family saga focused on motorcycles. On November 13, Higanjima: Isle of Vampires by Kōji Matsumoto will be available; this 18+ survival horror follows a college student summoned to a remote island where vampires dwell to find his missing brother.
The final wave of exclusives begins on November 20 with Bachi-Bachi BURST by Takahiro Satō, a sumo wrestling epic, and Cigarette and Cherry by Daishiro Kawakami, a romantic comedy involving a college student and a cigarette-smoking senior. Both titles are designated for emaqi Premium subscribers. The month concludes on November 24 with The Witch of Schluss (18+) by Mizue Odawara, a fantasy romance about a witch and a demon guard, followed by How the Banished Duke's Daughter, Vilhelmiina, Found Her Happiness: The Strongest Commoner Sparks a Revolution on November 27. This final title features an original story by Gyo Tadano and manga by 4U.
Orange Inc. has been expanding its operations recently, establishing U.S. headquarters in March 2024 after raising $1.8 million in July 2023. The company launched the app version of emaqi in May 2025, with the Premium monthly subscription service following on July 1.
