SINGAPORE, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Bilibili Comics is proud to announce a partnership with Anime-Planet, providing free chapters of manga and webtoons to Anime-Planet’s online reading portal. In addition, Bilibili Comics has added Anime-Planet’s community ratings to their pages as part of a new third-party scoring feature.

In the future, users can directly have trials of comics in Anime-Planet, and rate their favorite comics. At the same time, this rating will also become an important reference and indicator for Bilibili Comic’s evaluation system.”

Kim Cameron, Anime-Planet’s founder, said: “We are thrilled to have this opportunity to partner with Bilibili Comics. Bilibili Comics offers so many high-quality manga and webtoons that we know our community will love, and we’re excited that users can make their voices heard in the ratings.
