Shonen Jump Teams With AOL’s RED Service

Viz has announced a partnership with America Online where teens on AOL’s RED service will have exclusive access to thirteen flash manga episodes of Shonen Jump’s Dragon Ball manga series.

Each Friday for the next thirteen weeks, AOL’s RED service for teens will offer an exclusive premiere of a new episode of the popular fantasy action series at 3:00pm EST. Teens on the RED service will have exclusive access to the episode for a period of 48 hours, before it becomes available to all Internet users at www.shonenjump.com. The compelling flash manga takes storylines from the pages of Akira Toriyama’s famed graphic novel series and combines unique, full color and movement provided by Macromedia flash technology.
