'''Comico''' is a [webtoon](/source/webtoon) portal based in Japan that is part of [NHN Japan Corporation](/source/NHN_Japan_Corporation). NHN Japan first launched its webtoon platform Comico in Japan in 2013.[{{cite web|url=http://thebridge.jp/en/2013/11/comico|title=NComico provides free, mobile-friendly manga|date=November 5, 2013|publisher=The Bridge|accessdate=January 22, 2018}}] It was then followed by a launch in Taiwan in 2014{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} and then in Thailand and South Korea in 2016 followed by Indonesia (defunct[{{Cite web|date=September 1, 2019|title=[BREAKING NEWS] Comico Indonesia Tutup Layanannya Akhir Bulan Ini|url=https://mediaformasi.com/2019/09/comico-indonesia-tutup/|access-date=July 12, 2021|website=Media Formasi|language=id}}] since September 30, 2019) and Spanish language (defunct since 2019) in 2017.[{{cite web |url=http://www.comico.net/webtoon/index |title=Comico |website=www.comico.net |access-date=January 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171020144108/http://www.comico.net/webtoon/index |archive-date=October 20, 2017 |url-status=dead}}][{{Cite web|url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2166359/full/|title = 『comico』英語圏で初リリース、世界累計3500万DL突破 北米でも年々高まる漫画需要}}] and in July 2020 launched its English-language service under the name '''Pocket Comics'''.[{{Cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-07-07/comico-launches-pocket-comics-app-in-english-with-41-manga-manhwa/.161542|title = Comico Launches 'Pocket Comics' App in English with 41 Manga, Manhwa}}] Comico has also stated that it will relaunch its Spanish service with the "Pocket Comics" brand later in the future.[{{cite web | url=http://www.nhn-comico.com/news/index.nhn?m=read&docid=10853625 | title=NHN comico株式会社 }}] In 2017, [Nielsen Media Research](/source/Nielsen_Media_Research) found it to be the second largest website for digital comics in Japan based on the number of users.[{{cite web|first=Richard|last=Smith|date=September 20, 2017|url=https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/nothing-comical-about-japan-s-manga-moving-online-1.630224|title=Nothing comical about Japan's manga moving online|publisher=[The National](/source/The_National_(Abu_Dhabi))|access-date=February 16, 2018}}] The Taiwanese version of "Comico" was rebranded to the "Pocket Comics" branding soon after the launch. On January 24, 2022, NHN Japan launched a French-language service for Pocket Comics.[{{cite web | url=http://www.nhn-comico.com/news/index.nhn?m=read&docid=10876190 | title=NHN comico株式会社 }}] That same year, a German-language service was launched.
