At IGN, our passion for manga is undeniable, but keeping up with the vast output of the Japanese industry can be both challenging and costly.

Dive into these resources to stay updated on your favorite series without breaking the bank!

Don't forget to explore our guide to free comics online for even more reading options.

Hoopla

Kicking off our list is Hoopla, which boasts the most diverse and likely the largest collection of free manga on the internet. Accessing the app requires a library card, which you can obtain for free from your local library. Once you're set up, a world of manga awaits you. From the complete saga of Kentaro Miura's *Berserk* to Hajime Isayama's groundbreaking *Attack on Titan*, as well as beloved classics like *Fairy Tail*, *Lone Wolf and Cub*, and newer gems like *Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service*, Hoopla has it all. The platform offers multiple volume ones, full series, and hidden treasures that could become your next obsession. If you're looking to commit to a single app for your free manga reading, Hoopla is unbeatable. Plus, there are no holds or waiting times—every book is available instantly.

Libby

While Hoopla is renowned for its comics, don't overlook Libby. This app is a top destination for free digital books, including a vast selection of manga, depending on your local library's offerings. For instance, the Los Angeles Public Library provides titles like *One Piece*, *Naruto*, *Spy x Family*, *Vampire Hunter D*, *My Hero Academia*, and *Demon Slayer*, among others. While publishers like Viz and Kodansha offer only the first volume for free on their sites, many series are available in full on Libby. Keep in mind, however, that Libby operates similarly to a physical library, with a limited number of copies available. If a title isn't immediately available, you can place a hold and receive a notification when it's ready for you to borrow.

Viz

Viz, the largest publisher of English-language manga, offers a substantial portion of its catalog on its website. Most series provide a generous free preview, ranging from 20 to 60 pages per volume. This includes classics like Rumiko Takahashi's *Ranma 1/2*, contemporary hits like Tatsuki Fujimoto's *Chainsaw Man*, and cult favorites like Taiyō Matsumoto's *Tekkonkinkreet*. While the Viz Manga App requires a $2 monthly subscription, it comes with a 7-day free trial for new users. For those who prefer reading in their browser, the Viz website offers free access to the first chapters of numerous shonen titles such as *My Hero Academia*, *Demon Slayer*, *One Punch Man*, *The Legend of Zelda*, *Assassination Classroom*, *Choujin X*, and many more, as well as shoujo titles like *Maison Ikkoku*, *Skip・Beat!*, and *Fushigi Yûgi*. The website's user-friendly interface makes it an excellent starting point for manga newcomers.

Shonen Jump

Another gem from Viz, the Shonen Jump App offers free chapters without a paid subscription. If you decide to subscribe, it's only $3 a month, making it one of the most affordable options available. The app provides digital access to a wide range of Weekly Shonen Jump titles, including *One Piece*, *Dragon Ball Super*, *Boruto: Naruto Next Generations*, *Kaiju No. 8*, *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*, and more. Unlike many other free platforms, Shonen Jump often includes the latest chapters of popular series, allowing you to stay current with your favorites.

Kodansha

Kodansha, a stalwart in the manga publishing world, has released numerous legendary titles, such as Naoko Takeuchi's *Sailor Moon*, Hajime Isayama's *Attack on Titan*, CLAMP's *Cardcaptor Sakura*, and Katsuhiro Otomo's *Akira*. By signing up for a free Kodansha Reader account, you can access free first volumes or chapters of these and other titles, including recent hits like *Vinland Saga* and *Blue Lock*. Additionally, Kodansha's Limited Spotlight Series offers rotating access to deeper volumes. Currently, the first three volumes of Kamome Shirahama's beautifully illustrated *Witch Hat Atelier* are available for free for a limited time. The publisher also launched the K MANGA app, which offers one free chapter per comic per day and a points-based system for further reading, providing another option for mobile readers.

MANGA Plus by Shueisha

If you're a fan of Shonen comics or anime, the MANGA Plus app from Shueisha, Japan's largest publisher, is an excellent starting point. This app offers free access to chapters from many top Weekly Shonen Jump titles, including Tatsuki Fujimoto's *Chainsaw Man*, Tatsuya Endo's *Spy x Family*, Sui Ishida's *Choujin X*, and Hiroki Araki's *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*. While full series and simulcast releases require payment, the free selection provides a great way to sample new series before committing to a subscription.

Amazon

Although Amazon's free offerings might not include the biggest hits, you can still find some interesting free manga in their Kindle versions. Currently available titles include *The Destroyer Fell in Love with Me: Chapter 1*, *DON'T COUNT YOUR TANUKIS #1*, *Lockdown Zone: Level X: Chapter 1*, and *God Complex #1*. Additionally, publishers like Kodansha and TokyoPop often provide sample chapters. If you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, your access to free manga expands significantly, including more well-known series. Amazon is also a great place to purchase manga in 2025, often offering discounts on boxed sets that make buying worthwhile.
