The Best Free Manga Sites and Apps in 2025

Author : Noah Mar 17,2025

IGN loves manga! The sheer volume of comics released annually from Japan's vibrant industry—with some series spanning decades—can make staying current a challenge (and an expensive one at that). Fortunately, there are fantastic, easily accessible resources for reading manga *for free*. From iconic 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 a list to help you enjoy your favorite manga while saving money.

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

Hoopla

Hoopla

We're starting with Hoopla, boasting one of the most diverse and extensive free manga collections online. Access requires 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 hits such as *Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service*. This expansive library includes multiple volumes, complete series, and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. If you're choosing just one app, Hoopla is a top contender. Best of all: instant access—no holds or waiting times!

Libby

Libby

While Hoopla is a well-known free manga resource, don't overlook Libby. This app is a leading destination for free ebooks, and manga is a significant part of its collection. Availability varies by library system, but the Los Angeles Public Library, for example, offers titles like *One Piece*, *Naruto*, *Spy x Family*, *Vampire Hunter D*, *My Hero Academia*, and *Demon Slayer*. Many series are available in full, unlike some publishers who only offer free first volumes. Note that Libby operates like a physical library; availability may be limited. However, you can place holds and receive automatic notifications when a title becomes available.

Viz

Viz

Viz, a major publisher of English-language manga, offers a substantial portion of its catalog online. Most series provide generous free previews (20-60 pages per volume), including classics like Rumiko Takahashi's *Ranma 1/2*, modern hits such as Tatsuki Fujimoto's *Chainsaw Man*, and cult favorites like Taiyō Matsumoto's *Tekkonkinkreet*. While not free, the Viz Manga App provides extensive content for a small monthly fee with a free trial. The Viz website offers numerous first chapters from popular shonen titles (*My Hero Academia*, *Demon Slayer*, *One Punch Man*, etc.) and shoujo titles (*Maison Ikkoku*, *Skip・Beat!*, *Fushigi Yûgi*, etc.). It's a user-friendly platform, perfect for manga newcomers.

Shonen Jump

Shonen Jump

Another Viz offering, the Shonen Jump App provides free chapters without requiring a paid subscription (a low-cost subscription option is available). This app offers digital access to many *Weekly Shonen Jump* titles, including *One Piece*, *Dragon Ball Super*, *Boruto: Naruto Next Generations*, *Kaiju No. 8*, and *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*. Unlike other free options, it often includes the latest chapters of popular series, making it ideal for staying up-to-date.

Kodansha

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*, through a free Kodansha Reader account. Their Limited Spotlight Series provides rotating access to additional volumes. They also have the K MANGA app (though reviews are mixed due to limitations on free chapters and a point system).

MANGA Plus by Shueisha

MANGA Plus

For shonen fans, the MANGA Plus app (from Shueisha, Japan's largest publisher) offers free chapters from many popular *Weekly Shonen Jump* titles, including *Chainsaw Man*, *Spy × Family*, *Choujin X*, and *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*. While full series and simulcast releases require payment, the free selection provides excellent opportunities to sample new series.

Amazon

Amazon

While Amazon's free manga selection may lack major hits, it offers some free Kindle titles and free previews from publishers like Kodansha and TokyoPop. Kindle Unlimited subscribers have significantly more options.
