■ Collaborative illustration used for key visual of "Drifters" x "War Child - The Legend of Oda Saburo Nobunaga"
To commemorate this collaboration, a collaboration illustration between "Drifters" (published in Manga DX+) and "Ikusa no Ko - Oda Saburo Nobunaga Den" (published in Manga Hotto) has been released.

Comment from Masahiro Ohno (Shonen Gahosha)
Both "Manga DX+" and "Manga Hot" have many male readers in their 20s to 50s, and their lineup mainly features content aimed at young adults, so we hope that by collaborating between the two apps, even people who have never read manga through an app before will be able to experience the appeal of manga apps.
Although this is a collaboration between manga apps, we think that there are many works by authors that our readers have not read on each app. Both apps have many wonderful works, so we are hopeful that this collaboration will create a good chemical reaction between the two apps.
We hope that this collaboration will provide readers with a place and opportunity to discover what interesting works there are when they visit the "Manga DX+" and "Manga Hot" apps.
Comment from Ken Hanada (Coremix)
We are very excited to collaborate with "Manga DX+", which has many users who are into seinen manga, and are targeting users who are not familiar with "Manga Hotto", which we operate. We also think that readers will enjoy the collaboration between works that feature Oda Nobunaga, a great man who is popular among all generations, which are developed in both apps. If it is a project that makes users who go beyond the boundaries of publishers and break preconceived notions like Oda Nobunaga's free market feel like "Is it okay to do something like this?", we will have fun, and we think that both authors and readers will be pleased.
"Manga DX+" and "Manga Hotto" have a high affinity in terms of readership and works, so we would be happy if readers could actively go back and forth between the two apps and experience the charm of the apps. Furthermore, we would like to develop collaborations with "Manga DX+" in various formats in the future so that we can deliver projects that readers can enjoy, so we hope you will look forward to it.
