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

Hoopla

We kick off our list with Hoopla, boasting the most diverse and possibly the largest collection of free manga on the internet. To dive into this treasure trove, you'll need a library card, which you can obtain for free from your local library. Once you're set, you can explore an extensive array of manga, including the complete works of Kentaru Miura's groundbreaking *Berserk*, Hajime Isayama's revolutionary *Attack on Titan*, timeless favorites like *Fairy Tail* and *Lone Wolf and Cub*, and newer hits like *Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service*.

Hoopla's collection is vast, featuring numerous volume ones, full series, and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. If you're looking to commit to a single app for your free manga fix, Hoopla is the top choice. Plus, there's no waiting or holds; all books are available instantly.

Libby

While Hoopla is renowned for its free comics, don't overlook Libby. This app is a prime destination for free digital books, including a robust selection of manga. The availability of titles depends on your local library system, but a glance at the Los Angeles Public Library's offerings reveals gems like *One Piece*, *Naruto*, *Spy x Family*, *Vampire Hunter D*, *My Hero Academia*, *Demon Slayer*, and more.

Although publishers like Viz and Kodansha only offer the first volume for free on their sites, Libby often provides full series. Be aware that, like a physical library, the number of copies available might be limited. If your desired manga isn't available, you can place a hold and receive a notification when it's ready for you.

Viz

Viz, the largest publisher of English-language manga, has made a significant portion of its catalog available on its website. Many series offer a generous free preview, ranging from 20 to 60 pages per volume. This includes classics like Rumiko Takahashi's *Ranma 1/2*, modern 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, complete with a 7-day free trial for new users.

If you prefer reading in your browser, the Viz website offers numerous first chapters of shonen titles like *My Hero Academia*, *Demon Slayer*, *One Punch Man*, *The Legend of Zelda*, *Assassination Classroom*, *Choujin X*, and more. You can also enjoy shoujo titles like *Maison Ikkuko*, *Skip・Beat!*, and *Fushigi Yügi*. The site is easy to navigate and read, making it an excellent entry point into the world of manga.

Shonen Jump

Another offering from Viz, the Shonen Jump App, provides free access to 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 grants 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 options, Shonen Jump often includes the latest chapters of popular series, making it an ideal choice for staying current with your favorites.

Kodansha

Kodansha, a stalwart manga publisher, has released an impressive array of 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 many of these titles, along with recent hits like *Vinland Saga* and *Blue Lock*. Additionally, Kodansha's Limited Spotlight Series offers rotating access to deeper volumes. At the time of writing, the first three volumes of Kamome Shirahama's beautifully lush *Witch Hat Atelier* are available for free for a limited time.

Kodansha recently launched the K MANGA app, which has received mixed reviews due to its one-free-chapter-per-comic-per-day limit and a complex point system for further reading. However, if you prefer reading on your phone, K MANGA is another option to consider.

MANGA Plus by Shuiesha

If you're a fan of Shonen comics or anime, the MANGA Plus app by Shuiesha, Japan's largest publisher, is a fantastic starting point. This app offers free access to chapters from many of the most popular and successful *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 favorites before committing to a subscription.

Amazon

Although Amazon's free manga offerings might not include major hits, you can still discover interesting 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*. Several manga publishers, like Kodansha and TokyoPop, also offer tasters of their comics. If you have a Kindle Unlimited account, your options for free manga expand significantly, including more well-known series.

Amazon is also one of the best places to buy manga in 2025, often offering discounts on boxed sets that make purchasing worthwhile.
