Anime fans know that most of the hottest shows out now are adapted from manga (and for those unaware, well, now you know). Instead of waiting for the latest episode to drop every week, now you can get ahead of the show and read the latest updates of all your faves with Crunchyroll Manga, the newest digital manga reading platform.
From Kaiju No. 8 and Jujutsu Kaisen to Spy x Family and One Piece, all your favorite shows on Crunchyroll are now available in manga form in one convenient app. Available on both iOS and Android, the app won’t have any ads, so you can get right into the next chapter. A web version will launch on October 15, and all versions will feature titles from leading manga publishers like AlphaPolis, COMPASS, Square Enix, VIZ Media, Yen Press, and more. The app will also host titles not exclusive to Crunchyroll, like Bleach, Delicious in Dungeon, and My Happy Marriage. And if you’re in the mood for something different, the app will offer personalized recommendations to help readers discover the newest additions to their reading lists.
Crunchyroll Manga is currently available as an add-on for those with Premium Crunchyroll accounts. Crunchyroll Ultimate Fan subscribers (the plan costs $15.99 per month)Â can enjoy the app for free, with the added perks of streaming on up to 6 different devices, offline viewing and reading, a 15% discount on select merchandise and subscriber exclusives, and access to the Game Vault. Crunchyroll Fans and Mega Fans can add the app to their plans for a fee (an additional $4 for the Fan tier and $3.50 for the Mega Fan tier). Once added, all tiers can enjoy the ad-free, unlimited reading experience on mobile devices, tablets, and on the web version.
With all the options available and the promise of an ad-free experience, Crunchyroll Manga is an ideal spot for both long-time manga readers and newcomers who love anime and may be interested in exploring the medium. For those still on the fence about giving the app a try, check out the official announcement teaser below:
Fans attending New York Comic Con (NYCC) this weekend can find out more about Crunchyroll Manga at the Crunchyroll booth (No. 1643), while those unable to attend can learn more now at crunchyroll.com/premium/manga. Once NYCC wraps up, expect to find us locked on the couch, checking out the latest titles with our coziest blankets.
