Libby
While Hoopla shines as a free manga haven, Libby shouldn't be overlooked. This app offers a wide selection of free ebooks, including a substantial manga library. The available titles vary depending on your local library system, but many offer popular series like *One Piece*, *Naruto*, *Spy x Family*, *Vampire Hunter D*, *My Hero Academia*, and *Demon Slayer*. Note that availability might be limited, similar to 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) of many titles on its website. This includes classics like *Ranma 1/2*, modern hits like *Chainsaw Man*, and cult favorites like *Tekkonkinkreet*. While not entirely free, the Viz Manga App provides a vast catalog for a small monthly fee with a free trial. Their website also features the first chapters of numerous popular shonen and shoujo series.
Shonen Jump
Another Viz offering, the Shonen Jump app provides free access to chapters from *Weekly Shonen Jump* titles, including *One Piece*, *Dragon Ball Super*, *Boruto*, *Kaiju No. 8*, and *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*. Unlike many free services, this often includes the latest chapters, making it ideal for staying up-to-date on your favorites.
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. They also feature a "Limited Spotlight Series" with rotating access to additional volumes. Their K MANGA app offers another reading option, though it has a daily chapter limit and a points system.
MANGA Plus by Shueisha
From Shueisha, Japan's largest publisher, the MANGA Plus app provides 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 might not include major hits, it features some lesser-known titles and free previews from various publishers. If you have Kindle Unlimited, your options significantly expand.
