Viz Media unveiled an exciting addition to its Viz Originals line on Wednesday—a one-shot submissions portal designed for writers in the United States. This innovative platform is set to produce concise, original one-shot stories, with the invaluable guidance of Hisashi Sasaki, the former editor-in-chief of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
Viz Media will digitally publish the selected one-shots, and the potential for these successful submissions extends far beyond mere publication.

This impressive collection also features classic manga titles. With over 10,000 chapters from both Shogakukan and Shueisha titles, Viz Manga beckons manga enthusiasts.
