Crunchyroll Store Stops Selling Physical Manga and Light Novels

Fans who used the Crunchyroll store to pick up their favorite physical manga, manhwa, and light novels are in for a surprise. As of August 18, the store has completely removed its entire catalog of printed reading material. This update includes the removal of all danmei titles as well.

This shift means the retailer is moving away from books entirely. Instead, the shop is redirecting its focus toward exclusive merchandise and various collectibles for anime fans. It is a big change for anyone who enjoyed the convenience of grabbing their favorite series alongside other anime gear.

While this might be disappointing for those who liked keeping their collection in one place, the store will continue to operate with its new focus on figures and apparel. We will have to see how this change impacts where fans choose to buy their physical copies in the future.
