Crunchyroll Manga Is Now Available in India
One of the most important updates for Indian anime and manga fans is the international expansion of Crunchyroll Manga.
Crunchyroll has announced that its manga service is expanding to India, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
This means Indian fans can now access Crunchyroll’s official digital manga service as part of the company’s expanding anime and manga ecosystem.
The expansion is particularly significant because many Indian anime fans turn to manga after finishing an anime season and want to continue the story from its source material.
With Crunchyroll Manga now expanding into India, official digital manga access is becoming more accessible to Indian readers.
More information about the available manga titles and the complete India-specific service experience is expected to become clearer as the rollout continues.
For Indian anime fans, however, this is already a significant step forward.
Kagurabachi Anime Casts Yuichi Nakamura as Soshiro Azami
The upcoming Kagurabachi anime has announced another major voice-casting update.
Popular voice actor Yuichi Nakamura has been cast as Soshiro Azami.
A character visual and dedicated trailer were also released alongside the casting announcement.
Yuichi Nakamura is one of the most recognizable voice actors in the anime industry, making his addition another major point of interest for Kagurabachi fans.
The manga has already built a strong following, and anticipation surrounding its anime adaptation continues to grow.
With more cast and production details expected to be revealed, Kagurabachi remains one of the upcoming anime adaptations worth watching closely.

Fortnite Anime Collaboration Rumors: One Piece, Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man
There is also some speculation surrounding a possible Fortnite anime collaboration, but fans should treat this information carefully.
Fortnite’s official X account interacted with a fan-generated post that referenced One Piece, Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man.
The interaction led to speculation that Fortnite could potentially be planning collaborations with one or more of these major anime franchises.
However, Fortnite has not officially announced these collaborations.
Therefore, this should currently be considered unconfirmed speculation rather than confirmed anime news.
If Epic Games eventually announces an official collaboration, it could become a major crossover event for both anime and gaming fans.
For now, though, there is no official confirmation.
Final Thoughts
This week’s anime news brings a mix of romance, action, manga and upcoming movie projects.
The Moon on a Rainy Night has finally revealed its first trailer and main cast, while Walking Home with You has secured an April 2027 premiere.
Meanwhile, GROTESQQQUE continues to showcase its unusual visual style with a new trailer.
For Indian fans, the biggest development is arguably Crunchyroll Manga’s expansion into India, which could make official digital manga more accessible to the country’s growing anime community.
And finally, Kagurabachi has added Yuichi Nakamura to its cast as Soshiro Azami, giving fans another reason to keep an eye on the upcoming adaptation.
As always, Fortnite’s potential anime collaborations should be treated as rumors until an official announcement is made.
