Sony had a lot of entertainment news to share during its CES 2025 press conference, especially when it came to movies and shows based on PlayStation properties. The company is also expanding its anime streaming service, Crunchyroll, with a new manga app. The standalone Crunchyroll Manga app is coming to iOS and Android later this year. It'll debut in the US and Canada. It will only be available in English at first and support for more languages will arrive down the line. You'll need to pay extra to use the app, however, as it's slated to be a premium add-on for Crunchyroll. The service hasn't divulged which titles you'll be able to read in the app it will announce details about that and publisher involvement at a later date. Web browser support is coming at some point as well. Word of the Crunchyroll Manga app comes soon after Sony was in talks to buy Kadokawa, the parent company of Elden Ring developer FromSoftware and (more pertinently in this case) a major publisher of anime and manga. The companies instead agreed for Sony to take a larger stake in Kadokawa and become its biggest shareholder. As such, it would be quite a surprise if Kadokawa's library of manga was somehow not featured in the upcoming app.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/a-new-crunchyroll-manga-mobile-app-arrives-later-this-year-155234860.html?src=rss

Wellness brand Moonbird launched a kids version of its stress-relief breathwork device at CES 2025 and it is so cute. Moonbuddy is like a little calming companion the roughly egg-shaped device is outfitted in a silicone animal costume and offers tactile guidance for breathing exercises. Its designed to help kids slow things down for a few minutes so they can feel grounded and ultimately more relaxed. Unlike the adult version, theres no accompanying app, so the activity is entirely screen-free. Moonbuddy is activated by a button on the back, and there are four different breathing modes that range from 6 breaths per minute to 10.5 breaths per minute. Once youve selected an exercise, the devices squishy belly will begin to expand and contract slowly to match the desired breathing rhythm. Moonbuddy looks and feels like a toy thats meant to be cradled in your hands. The company showed it off with bird and bear versions of the removable sleeve, and its hard to choose which is the cuter between the two. But youll have to, because only one sleeve comes with the $89 device and they arent currently sold as separate accessories. Id love to see that option down the line, especially since the team says its working on other animal designs that could someday join the mix. Cheyenne MacDonald for Engadget That aside, adults arent the only ones who experience stress and anxiety kids go through it too, and breathwork can be really helpful for easing those feelings and their potential consequences, like troubled sleep. But getting a kid to sit down and focus on slow, controlled breathing isnt always an easy thing to do. Moonbuddy could be a great, albeit pricey, tool to have on hand in that regard, making the exercises much more approachable. I may or may not be seriously considering buying one for myself.
