The Best Free Manga Sites and Apps in 2025

IGN loves manga! But with the sheer volume of incredible Japanese comics released each year—some running for decades—staying current can be a challenge (and expensive!). Luckily, there are fantastic, easily accessible places to read manga *for free*. From beloved classics like *Battle Angel Alita* to modern blockbusters like *Attack on Titan*, and the latest chapters of series such as *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* and *Demon Slayer*, we've compiled the best resources to keep up with your favorites while saving money.

Don't miss our guide to free comics online for even more options!

Hoopla

Hoopla boasts the most diverse and extensive free manga collection online. You'll need a library card (free from your local library), but once you're in, you'll find a treasure trove of titles. Highlights include the complete *Berserk* by Kentaro Miura, Hajime Isayama's groundbreaking *Attack on Titan*, classics like *Fairy Tail* and *Lone Wolf and Cub*, and newer gems like *Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service*. The collection features full series, multi-volume works, and hidden masterpieces waiting to be discovered. No holds or waiting times—everything is instantly available!

Libby

While Hoopla is a well-known free manga resource, don't overlook Libby. This app offers a vast selection of free ebooks, including a significant manga library. The available titles vary depending on your local library system, but many libraries offer popular series like *One Piece*, *Naruto*, *Spy x Family*, *Vampire Hunter D*, *My Hero Academia*, and *Demon Slayer*. Note that, like a physical library, availability may be limited. You can place holds on unavailable titles and receive automatic notifications when they become available.

Viz

Viz, a major English-language manga publisher, offers generous free previews (20-60 pages per volume) on its website. 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 offers a vast selection for $2 per month (with a 7-day free trial). The website also provides free first chapters of many shonen titles (*My Hero Academia*, *Demon Slayer*, *One Punch Man*, etc.) and shoujo titles (*Maison Ikkuko*, *Skip・Beat!*, *Fushigi Yûgi*, etc.).

Shonen Jump

Another Viz offering, the Shonen Jump app provides free chapters without a paid subscription (though a $3 monthly subscription unlocks full access). It features the latest chapters of popular series like *One Piece*, *Dragon Ball Super*, *Boruto: Naruto Next Generations*, *Kaiju No. 8*, and *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*. Unlike many free services, it often includes the newest chapters, making it ideal for staying up-to-date.

Kodansha

Kodansha, a renowned manga publisher, offers free first volumes or chapters of many titles, including *Sailor Moon*, *Attack on Titan*, *Cardcaptor Sakura*, and *Akira*, via a free Kodansha Reader account. Their Limited Spotlight Series provides rotating access to additional volumes. Their K MANGA app offers a free chapter per comic daily but uses a point system for further reading.

MANGA Plus by Shueisha

From Shueisha, Japan's largest publisher, the MANGA Plus app offers free chapters from popular Weekly Shonen Jump titles like *Chainsaw Man*, *Spy × Family*, *Choujin X*, and *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*. While full series and simulcast releases require a paid subscription, the free selection provides excellent opportunities to discover new favorites.

Amazon

While Amazon's free manga selection lacks major titles, it offers some free Kindle versions and publisher previews. Amazon also frequently offers discounts on manga boxed sets.
