GivenShueisha’s recent push for vertical scrolling webtoonsto meet demand, the fact thatSuicide Squad Isekaiis coming to their Jump TOON platform as well as LINE MANGA is an indication of strong opportunity to draw readers. However, with these platforms being Japan-only, international readers, including fans in North America who love mainline DC content, could feel like they’re missing out.
