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

Hoopla

Hoopla boasts one of the most extensive and diverse free manga collections online. All you need is a free library card! Their impressive catalog includes complete series like Kentaro Miura's groundbreaking Berserk and Hajime Isayama's impactful Attack on Titan, alongside beloved classics such as Fairy Tail and Lone Wolf and Cub, and newer favorites like Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. Discover multiple volumes, entire series, and hidden gems waiting to become your new obsessions. Best of all? Instant access—no holds or waiting times!

Libby

While Hoopla shines as a free manga haven, don't overlook Libby. This app offers a wide selection of free ebooks, including a significant manga collection. The available titles depend 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. While some publishers like Viz and Kodansha only offer the first volume for free on their own sites, Libby often provides complete series. Keep in mind that availability might be limited, similar to a physical library, but you can always place a hold and receive automatic notifications when a copy becomes available.

Viz

Viz, a major English-language manga publisher, offers generous free previews (20-60 pages) of many titles on its website. Explore 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 entirely free, their Viz Manga App provides extensive access for a small monthly fee with a free trial. Their website also features many first chapters of popular shonen titles (My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, One Punch Man, etc.) and shoujo titles (Maison Ikkoku, Skip・Beat!, Fushigi Yuugi), making it an excellent starting point for manga exploration.

Shonen Jump

Another Viz offering, the Shonen Jump App provides free access to chapters, with a low-cost subscription option for full access. Enjoy free chapters of popular titles like One Piece, Dragon Ball Super, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Kaiju No. 8, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Unlike many free options, this often includes the latest chapters, making it ideal for staying current with your favorite series.

Kodansha

Kodansha, a renowned manga publisher, offers free first volumes or chapters of many titles (Sailor Moon, Attack on Titan, Cardcaptor Sakura, Akira, Vinland Saga, Blue Lock, etc.) with a free Kodansha Reader account. Their Limited Spotlight Series provides rotating access to further volumes. They also have a K MANGA app, though it has a limited free chapter per day and a point system for further reading.

MANGA Plus by Shueisha

Brought to you by Shueisha, Japan's largest publisher, the MANGA Plus app offers free chapters from popular Weekly Shonen Jump titles (Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family, Choujin X, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, etc.). While full series and simulcast releases require a subscription, it's a great way to sample new series before committing.

Amazon

While Amazon's free manga selection may not include major hits, it offers some free Kindle versions and publisher previews. It's also a great place to find discounted manga collections.
