Yoshitoshi ABe Releases Doujinshi Online

Acclaimed manga artist and character designer Yoshitoshi ABe has formally released his 2006 doujinshi (self-published comic) Pochiyama at the Pharmacy (Yakkyoku no Pochiyama-san) on the iTunes App Store in 20 countries, including the United States and Canada. The iPod & iPhone compatible 53 page manga story retails at $4.99 and offers multiple selectable language displays.

It remains to be seen if this will be a singular, exceptional situation, or if other Japanese manga artists and publishers will follow suit with online distribution of manga with multiple, selectable translations.
