Works out to £16.50pa. Quite awesome.

Very impressive effort, but surely they know that almost no-one will read it with a two week delay when people would rather steal the scans before Jump even officially comes out.

That would be really quite cool. As long as it's not region locked to the US anyway.

Hope this means that physical copies will have catchups too to catch up to the physical Japanese releases, as well as the digital speedups for the mentioned series

It doesnt look like it will be coming anywhere outside of USA/CAN though

Good idea, pity I'm not up to date with any of those manga so I won't be buying it.

Aha, it did feel like the US Shonen Jump was on its last legs so hopefully this will be a worthy replacement. Not interesting to me but my other half will definitely be subscribing if it's not region locked. He's already now excitedly talking about buying a dedicated iPad just to read One Piece faster >_>
