Japan -based anti-piracy group Authorized Books of Japan (ABJ) ran a newspaper advertising campaign in the United States , Italy , Spain , and France .

Its launch on July 17 was declared “ Manga Day” and its purpose was to raise awareness of manga piracy.

ABJ reports that a total of 1,332 pirate sites were offering pirated manga in May 2024 .

ABJ reports a 25% drop in piracy figures from 2022 to 2023 .

The exact reason for the significant reduction in 2023 over the figures reported in 2022 is unknown.

When the tide will conclusively turn is unknown, but the nature and scale of the effort suggests that it’s no longer the impossible mission it once appeared.
