Shueisha, the leading publisher in Japan, is about to launch DEAIBOOKSan AI-based comic recommendation service, is scheduled to launch on April 25, 2024.
With the theme “Encounter Good Manga in Life”, DEAIBOOKS aims to provide users with personalized manga recommendations tailored to their interests. This is achieved with the support of Aihara Pitari, an AI-powered librarian-in-training who engages in conversation with users to better understand their interests and concerns.
The character designs for Aihara Pitari were done by the manga illustrator Oshi No Ko Mengo Yokoyari, with the character's voice provided by Miku Ito.
DEAIBOOKS will feature over 5,000 manga titles, from new releases to classics, all available in digital format from Shueisha.
Additionally, the service will continuously update its library with new releases every month.
To celebrate the launch of DEAIBOOKS, Shueisha announced a special campaign in which Aihara Pitari will make introductory calls to lucky participants on the service's launch day. To be eligible for the call, users simply need to retweet the specified post on Shueisha Manga's official Twitter account before April 24.
