The current list of titles is:
– A Town Where You Live

Users with a Crunchyroll Premium Account will be able to read new chapters as well as catalogue chapters, whereas free users will only be able to read newly released chapters during the week they are released. This service will be available on both laptop/desktops, as well as Crunchyroll’s iOS and Android apps.
