This way, you can stay up-to-date with your favorite manga series without breaking the bank.

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

Hoopla

We kick off our list with Hoopla, boasting 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, dive into a world of manga, including the complete series of Kentaro Miura's groundbreaking *Berserk* and Hajime Isayama's revolutionary *Attack on Titan*. Enjoy classics like *Fairy Tail*, *Lone Wolf and Cub*, and newer gems like *Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service*. Hoopla's extensive library includes multiple volume ones, full series, and hidden treasures that might become your new favorites. If you're looking to commit to one app for free manga, Hoopla is unbeatable, especially since there are no holds or waiting times—all books are instantly available.

Libby

While Hoopla is renowned for its free comics, don't overlook Libby. This app is a leading destination for free digital books, and its expansive library includes a wealth of manga. The selection depends on your local library system, but for example, the Los Angeles Public Library offers 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, Libby provides access to many complete series. Keep in mind that Libby operates like a physical library, with limited copies available. If a title you want isn't available, you can place a hold and be notified when it's ready for you to borrow.

Viz

As the largest publisher of English-language manga, Viz offers a substantial portion of its catalog for free on its website. Most series feature generous previews, ranging from 20 to 60 pages per volume. You can delve into 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 not free, the Viz Manga App provides an extensive selection of titles for just $2 a month, with a 7-day free trial for new users. If you prefer reading in your browser, the Viz website offers first chapters of popular shonen titles like *My Hero Academia*, *Demon Slayer*, *One Punch Man*, *The Legend of Zelda*, *Assassination Classroom*, *Choujin X*, and more, as well as shoujo titles like *Maison Ikkoku*, *Skip・Beat!*, and *Fushigi Yūgi*. The site is user-friendly, making it an excellent starting point for manga newcomers.

Shonen Jump

Another offering from Viz, the Shonen Jump App provides access to free chapters without requiring a paid subscription. If you decide to subscribe, it's only $3 a month, one of the most affordable options available. This app offers 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 many more. Unlike many other free platforms, Shonen Jump often includes the latest chapters of popular series, making it ideal for staying current with your favorites.

Kodansha

Kodansha, a stalwart manga publisher, has released numerous legendary titles, including 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 titles, as well as recent hits like *Vinland Saga* and *Blue Lock*. Kodansha's Limited Spotlight Series offers rotating access to deeper volumes; for instance, at the time of writing, the first three volumes of Kamome Shirahama's beautifully illustrated *Witch Hat Atelier* are available for a limited time. The publisher also launched the K MANGA app, which, despite mixed reviews due to its one-free-chapter-per-day limit and complex point system, provides another mobile reading option.

MANGA Plus by Shueisha

For fans of Shonen comics or anime, the MANGA Plus app by Shueisha, Japan's largest publisher, is an excellent starting point. This app allows you to read chapters from many top Weekly Shonen Jump titles for free, 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 offers a great way to sample new potential favorites before committing to a subscription.

Amazon

Although Amazon's free offerings may not include the biggest hits, you can still find some intriguing freebies in their Kindle versions. At the time of writing, these 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 offer tasters of their comics. If you have a Kindle Unlimited account, your free manga choices expand significantly, with more well-known series available. Amazon is also one of the best places to buy manga in 2025, often offering discounts on boxed sets that make purchasing worthwhile.
