UQ Holder News: Crunchyroll Says Goodbye to UQ Holder Manga

Picture
Crunchyroll announced today that several manga series they had rights to would soon be leaving their platform. Unfortunately, UQ Holder is one of the IP's to be dropped. This falls on Kodansha, who is actively changing things on the distribution end. 

This is the statement Kodansha gave on this matter:
"Due to forthcoming changes in Kodansha’ simulpub distribution program, we are suspending simulpub updates until further notice. For now, the best way to keep up with your favorite series will be by following the collected volumes. We at Kodansha are deeply sorry to those of you who have kept up-to-date through the simulpub format, and while we can’t divulge any details at the moment, we have exciting announcements to make about simulpubs in the coming months.
If you have been reading UQ Holder on Crunchyroll, please keep this in mind. It will stay live until January 31, 2023, so if you have been postponing your reading, you may want to pick it back up, though it is worth keeping in mind that the full series is not published on Crunchyroll. You can read the full article on Crunchyroll and see if any other titles that pique your interest will be leaving the platform.
