Manga Sites

BOOK WALKER (ANDROID, IOS, PC, MAC, BROWSER)

Book Walker is a global ebook store for manga and light novels. It’s kind of like Amazon except it only sells those two things, which makes casual browsing easier.

SHONEN JUMP (ANDROID, IOS, BROWSER)

Weekly Shonen Jump is one of the biggest manga anthology magazines in Japan. Series like Haikyu! and My Hero Academia are serialized in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump. VIZ publishes the English-language counterpart, which releases manga chapters of series the same day they’re made available in Japan. Old-time manga fans may remember the days of being years behind the Japanese release, so it’s great that today’s manga readers don’t have to experience that (for some series, at least). Shonen Jump also allows you to read select chapters for free via their website in your browser.

CRUNCHYROLL (ANDROID, IOS, BROWSER)

Most people know Crunchyroll as the anime streaming site. What’s lesser known is a premium membership—which allows you to watch new anime episodes an hour after they broadcast in Japan—includes access to a decent selection of manga titles.

BEST READERS FOR NON-MANGA ASIAN COMICS

LINE WEBTOON (ANDROID, IOS, BROWSER)

Remember when I said above that no site will let you read hundreds of manga titles for free legally? I wasn’t being entirely accurate. While it’s true no site will let you read hundreds of manga titles in their entirely for free, there is one site that lets you read hundreds of webtoons for free: LINE.
