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

Hoopla

Hoopla boasts one of the most diverse and extensive free manga collections online. All you need is a free library card! Their selection is astounding, including 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*. Discover complete series, multi-volume works, and hidden gems—all instantly available with no holds or waiting periods. For a comprehensive, readily accessible free manga app, Hoopla is unparalleled.

Libby

While Hoopla shines as a free manga destination, don't overlook Libby. This app offers a vast library of free digital books, including a significant manga collection. 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*. While some publishers only offer the first volume for free on their own sites, Libby often provides complete series. Note that availability may be limited, like a physical library, but you can place holds for future access.

Viz

Viz, a major English-language manga publisher, offers generous free previews (20-60 pages per volume) on its website. These previews include 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 entirely free, their Viz Manga App provides a vast catalog for a small monthly fee with a free trial. Their website is also easy to navigate, featuring first chapters of many popular shonen and shoujo titles.

Shonen Jump

Another Viz offering, the Shonen Jump App provides free chapters without requiring a paid subscription (though a low-cost subscription unlocks much more). This app features the latest chapters of popular manga, unlike many free services that only offer initial chapters or volumes. It's perfect for staying current on your favorite series like *One Piece*, *Dragon Ball Super*, *Boruto*, *Kaiju No. 8*, and *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*.

Kodansha

Kodansha, a renowned manga publisher, offers free first volumes or chapters of many titles via a free Kodansha Reader account. This includes classics like *Sailor Moon*, *Attack on Titan*, *Cardcaptor Sakura*, and *Akira*, as well as newer hits like *Vinland Saga* and *Blue Lock*. They also feature a rotating selection of free volumes in their Limited Spotlight Series. Their K MANGA app offers another option, although it has a daily chapter limit and a point system for additional reading.

MANGA Plus by Shueisha

Shueisha's MANGA Plus app is a great resource for shonen manga fans. It offers free chapters from many popular Weekly Shonen Jump titles, including *Chainsaw Man*, *Spy x 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 sample new series.

Amazon

While Amazon's free manga selection may not include major hits, it offers some interesting free Kindle titles and previews from publishers like Kodansha and TokyoPop. If you have Kindle Unlimited, your options expand significantly.
