Manga Arabia, a subsidiary of the Saudi Research and Media Group, announced on Tuesday that it will publish a selection of Korean webtoons in Arabic.

The Saudi Arabia company has partnered with Korean Kidari Studio and V-Bros, and will make the work available in its Manga Arabia Youth edition.

The selected webtoons include “Medical Return,” “Plants Human” and “A Compendium of Ghosts.”

The Manga Arabia apps for children and youth have 12 million users in more than 195 countries and over 220 distribution points in the Arab world.

Manga Arabia has expanded globally with its Tokyo-based company, Manga International.

Earlier this month, the firm signed a strategic partnership with Coamix, a renowned Japanese manga publisher.

This pact grants Manga Arabia licensing rights to translate and publish some of the most popular Japanese manga titles in Arabic.
