and ST Co., Ltd. (Head Office: 2-21-1 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuya Sakurai), which operates the mall & media business and BtoB business within the adastria HD Group, will launch special content on its WEB store "and ST (And Esutei)" in collaboration with the e-book distribution service "SokuYomi" (Quick Read) starting July 2, 2026 (Thu), offering a new way to discover manga. As part of this new initiative, popular staff members from "STAFF BOARD (Staff Board)," where over 4,600 staff nationwide share their daily lifestyles, will sequentially introduce their carefully selected recommended manga titles along with their passionate comments. This aims to provide customers with a new entertainment experience that extends beyond fashion. In recent years, with the increasing emphasis on time performance in lifestyles, the EC market is also expected to serve as a place to discover culture and experiences that enrich daily life. Against this backdrop, "and ST" is collaborating with "SokuYomi," an e-book distribution service that offers a rich selection and high-quality reading experience. This collaboration aims to transform "and ST" from merely a place to purchase "things" into a "playground" that expands daily excitement through encounters with staff and diverse styles of "people." By combining the extensive manga assets of "SokuYomi" with "and ST's" lifestyle proposals, we aim to create a new media experience that adds "experiential value" through e-books and enhances customer engagement. ■About the Special Site "and ST Comic" Launch Date: July 2, 2026 (Thu) - Staff feature articles will be released sequentially.
