Most people have a phone or tablet of some kind, right? These are major reasons to read some manga in my opinion! I like to read manga in the comfort of bed or read manga less comfortably in public. What I want is more accessible manga. Let’s move on to sharing some great English manga apps!
There are some apps here that also host Korean, Chinese, and Western comics besides manga, but that’s not the focus here. I will discuss these in more depth, along with the differences that exist between them, later on.
soooo. Let’s check out some of the official English manga apps! Keep in mind that this is not all of them. I’m covering English Manga apps in North America that are still active. I will not talk about non-english or unofficial applications. Until then, I’ve broken this down into a file A series that discusses publishers and distributors in more specific and accurate detail. Stay tuned!
Azuki

Azuki is a manga digital distributor and publisher. It’s a service provided by former Crunchyroll folks. The choice here is rather huge! they have More than 200 comics. there Tons of manga Here, it’s actually mostly manga, but there are weird Korean or Western stories hiding in there. They have exclusives and fan favourites! There are exclusives Hikaru is in the light!romcoms like Turn the tables on the seatmate killer! And giant manga like The attack on the Giants And firepower.
Azuki has Premium subscription for $4.99 per month! Not a bad price at all! Especially since there is a huge variety of species. The Premium version allows you to read any chapter you want as soon as it’s released, with no ads!
Bookwalker
location Apps: iOS – google apps
Bookwalker is Kadokawa’s #1 manga/light novel app/website! I personally use it tons. only you Buy your digital books And Read it on the website or app. The app also allows you to download your books. It is even possible and easy Replace the Japanese version of the store And buy manga and LNs directly from Japan (in Japanese)! this Works even with your English language account!

Comic
location – Twitter – Facebook – Instagram Apps: iOS – google apps
Comikey has a lot of comics of Korean and Japanese origin. So if you like both styles of comics, this is a great service. There are more than 300 comics available. Comikey even has distribution rights Square Enix like manga The girl I love forgot her glasses.
Comikey has a file Excellent system Where are you Pay money to get “Keys”. you shSe these keys to buy chapters. Its many chains First few chapters for freeand then the cost of all future classes 2 or 3 keys usually. The keys themselves are purchased in packages. the The cheapest key pack costs $3.99 for 40 keys. this more than 10 chapters, According to class costs. This is technically Cheaper than the typical manga size! the The most expensive package is $34.99 For 400 keys (over 100 chapters) and 40 free keys that expire after 5 days. Don’t worry just Xtra keys expire.
Comedy science
location – Twitter – Instagram Apps: iOS – google apps
ComiXology is an animation service owned by Amazon. Manga isn’t the service’s main draw, because it’s more of a generic bargain comics type. This does not mean that they do not have a lot of manga. Because they have a lot of manga. ComiXology has it More than 2400 manga at her service. There are such classics Battle Angel Alita And popular series like Demon Slayer And Vinland Saga. It’s not a manga, but they also have a lot of them Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Caricature. So, this fulfills my quota of western comics along with the manga selection.
I will say, it took me a bit to understand the service. I thought I could only view certain manga volumes as I hoped after purchasing Unlimited. However, because amazon integration, It will take you to purchase pages for digital volumes. Be warned The title you wish to read must contain the “ComiXology Unlimited” logo.. Comics picture quality looks good, though I’ve heard comics purchased via Kindle are in lower resolution, so keep that in mind as well.
ComiXology Unlimited is Premium subscription Offer available. You can only read anything about the service $5.99 per month. It’s competitively priced and offers more than just manga!
From what I can tell, the Kindle Unlimited subscription is included with this subscription also. I was able to read Quintessential Quintuplets Vol. 1 via the Kindle app for free due to the two ComiXology subsidiaries.
I do not like you The application must be used for reading. Whenever I add a book to my library, I send it to the Kindle/ComiXology app. I was able to find and use a browser viewer for that. It’s on the book’s Amazon page. Just add it to your library for free (free due to the unlimited sub) and then you should see a green button. This should allow you to read manga on your browser. I think the website, and to a lesser extent the app, are somewhat intimidating to navigate in search of a newcomer. They are on the complicated side.
Crunchyroll manga
location – Twitter Apps: iOS – google apps
Yes! Crunchyroll also deals in manga, not just the anime! Their selection is not entirely huge, though The app and website are not a pleasure to look at or to navigateI think it is Simulpubs and new releases are very hard to keep track of. Currently, as of this writing, the simulpub section sidebar is showing that a new chapter of Kaina of the Great Ice Sea Coming March 1, 2023.
As far as subscriptions go, you need a Premium Crunchyroll subscription to access some chapters. that It costs $7.99 minimum.
let’s be honest, Crunchyroll Manga is an expired, deflated cherry on top of a luscious anime ice cream sundae.
INKR Comics
location – Twitter – Instagram Apps: iOS – google apps
inkr has a large collection of Manga, Manhua, Manhwa and other comics. It’s for An impressive catalog It even contains stuff from TokyoPop and popular series like A fairy tale And Vinland Saga. There are even such series Local friend. Yaoi/BL and Yuri/GL are also available.
INKR lets you Coin purchase chapters. You can Save a percentage by buying chapters in bulk also. There too Free currency that expires And deals on coin packs. also , Free currency can only rent classes for a specified time. Coin packs cost $1.99 for 32 coins, all the way up to $99.99 for 1600 coins.
additional INKR It is also a subscription option that you can get. that it $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year. It remove ads, get coins rewards when you buy coins, more free coins and the best part is that you can Read new chapters without spending coins over a certain period of time (varies).
manga plus
location – Facebook Applications: iOS – google apps
MANGA Plus is owned by Shueisha and has connections to Shounen Jump Plus in Japan. However, the “version” of the app works like a sampler. Most of the content here contains the first 3 chapters and the most recent 3 chapters. series like dragon ball And Naruto This way, with the occasional promotion as they have more seasons. each chapter of one piece Here for free though (one touch)! Some of the manga I’ve read and loved are included in this service Hokkaido girls are absolutely adorable And Don’t blush, Sekime-san! There is also a cult hit Oshi no ko.
The catch I discussed regarding One Piece is that many of the “free” chapters have a one-time offer. For titles like this, you’ll be redirected to Shonen Jump or the affiliate service. There is no paid option or premium subscription to MANGA Plus, so you don’t have to worry about paying a dime.
manga up!
location – Twitter Apps: iOS – google apps
We answer! It is the SQUARE ENIX manga app. Many of their series are uploaded on this app on a chapter by chapter basis. There are some great titles like The girl I love forgot her glasses And dress my love. I suppose there are some smaller things like Soul eater And Fullmetal Alchemist If that floats your boat, you know. I also enjoy a lot Jahi the Great is unbeatable.
Unfortunately you Most of the offers available on the site cannot be read. You can read a chapter or two but in order to read an entire series on it Application requires. There is also a coin system for Rent does not buy seasons. There is free currency as well. Coins cost from $0.99 for 160 coins to $169.99 for 26,800 coins. This is a large range. Classes cost around 40-80 coins. So A $99 coin pack that gets you from 2 to 4 classes. Also, one of Free coins (there are two types) It replaces coins, so if you have them 20XP and a class costs 40 coins, you will spend 20XP and 20 coins. You can The value extends this way. some chapters It cannot be purchased with the main free currency UP coins. Although most classes can be purchased with them!
mangamo
location – Twitter – Instagram Apps: iOS – google apps
Mangamo is a good manga app (the site doesn’t allow you to read manga). It has a lot of manga and some western comics like Hellboy. There is a wide variety of manga available. There are such rom-coms Quintessential Quintuplets And Silent voiceClassics like Battle Angel Alitaand much more!
Mangamo is simple with its subscription. Unlimited access without ads for $4.99 per month. that simple. Nothing gets in the way of enjoying some manga and comics.
Really the only thing I’m confused about is the accounts. There does not appear to be an account system. Think your account is associated with your Apple or Google account with your sub? I sure hope it’s not for every device! More on that later this month.
VIZ / Shonen Jump
location – Twitter Apps: Phys (iOS) – Viz (Google Play) – SJ (iOS) – SJ (Google Play)
Let’s be real for a second. If you are an anime or manga fan, you know about Shonen Jump. I suppose it is a brand that is known everywhere all over the world. To be fair, Western Shonen Jump has things the original Japanese magazine just doesn’t Blue Exorcist And One punch man. but, dragon ballAnd NarutoAnd My hero academy Known all over the world. There is even a series of Japanese Shonen Jump Plus app on our service such as X spy family. Viz also owns non-Battle Shonen series such as Fly Me to the Moon. Viz and Shonen Jump also have the most recent and very popular series Chainsaw man. You really can’t go wrong with choosing Viz’s because they have a wide variety despite the big Shonen batch. Oh yeah, they also post a Pokemon And The Legend of Zelda Mango.
the Subscription On offer here costs $2.99 per month It gives you access to up to 100 chapters per day From “Shonen Jump Vault”. this Not all Viz manga included But it’s a huge group. The subscription is linked to your account and Works on both the Viz app and the Shonen Jump app. Which is great, because I feel like using the Viz app is better because you can buy digital volumes of manga that aren’t in the Shonen Jump lineup to read.
