So far, Nintendo’s WiiWare service has been a bit of a mixed bag. It’s somewhere between the established and pretty great Xbox Live Marketplace and Sony’s still infant PS3 service.

Well Japan is taking a different angle, bringing comics to Nintendo’s machine. Sun Denshi plans to release a new, original manga via WiiWare and hopes to expand to anime and various other forms of similar entertainment.

While there hasn’t been any pricing announcement yet, they had better make it worth people’s money to discourage them from, you know, actually going out and buying comics.
