Luckily, there are many fantastic and 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 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 boasts one of the largest and most diverse free manga collections online. All you need is a free library card! Their impressive selection includes complete works like Kentaro Miura's *Berserk* and Hajime Isayama's *Attack on Titan*, alongside classics such as *Fairy Tail*, *Lone Wolf and Cub*, and newer hits like *Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service*. With multiple volumes, entire series, and hidden gems, Hoopla offers instant access—no holds or waiting times!

Libby

While Hoopla is a well-known resource, don't overlook Libby. This app offers a vast selection of free digital books, including a substantial 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*. Keep in mind that availability might be limited, similar to a physical library, but you can place holds for future access.

Viz

Viz, a major publisher of English-language manga, offers generous free previews (20-60 pages) of many titles on its website. These previews include 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, the Viz Manga app provides a wider selection for a small monthly fee with a free trial. Their website also features free first chapters of numerous shonen and shoujo titles.

Shonen Jump

Another Viz offering, the Shonen Jump app provides free access to chapters, with a low-cost subscription for full access. This app features the latest chapters of popular manga 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 current 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*, through a free Kodansha Reader account. Their Limited Spotlight Series provides rotating access to additional volumes. They also have a dedicated app, K MANGA, although it has a daily chapter limit and 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 x Family*, *Choujin X*, and *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*. While full series access often requires a paid subscription, it's a great way to sample new series.

Amazon

While Amazon's free manga selection may not include major hits, it offers some free Kindle titles and previews from publishers like Kodansha and TokyoPop. Kindle Unlimited subscribers have access to a much larger selection.
