2025. Crunchyroll launched a new Manga App for iOS and Android



Crunchyroll Manga has revamped its reading app. It will be accessible later this year as an independent app on iOS and Android, launching in Canada and the United States. The app enhances Crunchyroll subscriptions and will be available as a premium upgrade. Web browser support is also anticipated for the future. The original Crunchyroll Manga app had existed since 2013 but was discontinued in late 2023. Before that, the app had not been refreshed in years. They also removed all of the digital manga from their platform and it seemed, at the time, that they were stepping away from manga and centering their brand on streaming anime. Prominent publishers will contribute to the new app in the manga market, but the company has not disclosed exactly who will supply its new digital manga collection. Since they predominantly focus on English titles, it will likely originate from Viz Media, Kodansha USA, Seven Seas and possibly Dark Horse.


2023. DC Universe Infinite unveils Manga Reader



In the grand cosmic scheme of digital comics, where new features generally plod along in the hope of amusing at least a few bored earthlings, DC Universe Infinite has had the audacious notion to make a splash—a big one, mind you—by unveiling a shiny new manga-reader feature. This marvel of comic-consuming technology is designed not just for ordinary, left-to-right page-flippers, but for those rare souls inclined toward the exotic right-to-left world of Japanese manga, which, as it turns out, is currently in rather high demand. Now, intrepid readers can swipe, flick, or otherwise digitally maneuver themselves through stories with all the accuracy and immersion of a seasoned Tokyo commuter. But DC isn’t stopping there; no, they’re boldly venturing into the hallowed realm of serialization, inspired by popular manga and webtoon practices. Soon, DC’s own tales will unfurl in thrilling, chapter-sized morsels that may just trigger a bit of readerly anticipation—while quietly allowing DC to test the waters, because even in comics, one can’t be too careful.


2023. K Manga browser version launched



In a move that would make any intergalactic hitchhiker proud, Kodansha has boldly expanded its K Manga app into the wide, uncharted realms of the web browser. Now, American manga fans can indulge in their favorite illustrated tales beyond the previously limited app confines. K Manga, Kodansha’s brainchild, comes packed with a staggering library of 400 titles and 60 Simulpubs, catering to every manga craving from the familiar to the freshly updated. Previously only available to app-bound Android and iOS users, K Manga’s foray into the web means manga devotees now have the freedom to flip pages wherever their internet connection wanders. To keep things delightfully complex, K Manga employs a ticket and point system, because why make anything straightforward? Each 100 points translates to a handy $1, and approximately 99 points will unlock a chapter—granting readers the privilege of paying in slightly quirky but satisfyingly logical increments.


2023. Azuki now allows to read unlimited manga for less than $5 a month



Imagine a universe—a peculiar and slightly offbeat one—where Azuki, a plucky new manga subscription service, materializes to the delight of readers everywhere. This brave little platform, armed with over 200 series like The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting, BLITZ, Gacha Girls Corps, Attack on Titan, and Fire Force, also teams up with publishers bearing delightfully whimsical names like Futabasha, Micro Magazine, ABLAZE, and Star Fruit Books. Not content to simply exist, Azuki boldly ventures into the uncharted territories of download-to-own e-books, sidling into marketplaces like BookWalker, Amazon, Apple Books, and Google Play Books. All this in a cosmos dominated by the titanic gravitational forces of Amazon’s comiXology, Shonen Jump, Viz, and the ever-present Webtoon. But Azuki, with its cheerful $4.99 subscription granting unlimited access, its professional translation teams wielding fonts and phrases with galactic precision, and a catalog diverse enough to delight even the most discerning reader, harbors an almost irrational optimism. According to its Captain Minto, these quirks and qualities just might give it the improbable momentum needed to thrive in the crowded manga multiverse.


2020. Mangamo - new unlimited subscription service for Manga



Mangamo is a new unlimited subscription service for iOS that offers a free two-month trial and after that, it costs $4.99 per month. The main draw is that all their manga is in English and they have teamed up with 11 manga publishers, aiming to release over 300 titles spanning more than 1,000 volumes in the next three months, with new chapters added daily. Mangamo provides what every fan desires: an easy and affordable way to access a large amount of new manga while supporting the publishers and creators so they can continue producing the manga you enjoy.
