Comic App Izneo Is Finally Out On Nintendo Switch

Last year, the Nintendo Switch’s first ever comic/manga reading app, Izneo, was announced for an October 2018 release.

For reasons unknown, we’ve never heard much about Izneo even as 2018 closed. Either way, Izneo has quietly launched on the Nintendo Switch eShop in the west, so you can download the app for free and start reading some comics.
