[GUIDE] HOW TO GET LEGALLY AND BUY D.GRAY-MAN NEW CHAPTER (30/01/2026)
Hello everyone,
With the new D.Gray-man chapter release yesterday, I received a lot of questions on how to buy the chapter to read it legally.
Buying the chapter is the best way to support Hoshino Katsura and D.Gray-man. You may not know, but in Japan, a popular manga can get axed if the sales are too low, so it's absolutely essential to buy the magazine.
You get the chapter at the exact time of its release. No need to wait for the raws to come out!
You support directly the author and the series
It only costs around 700¥, so less than 4€! And it's only once every three months!
So, how to buy it ?
I personally use an app called "Bookwalker", made by KADOKAWA, a famous editor in Japan. They have an app and a website.
1)Download the "Bookwalker" app on PlayStore/Apple store
You can also go to their global website (In English!) :
BOOK☆WALKER is KADOKAWA 's official eBook store & app for Manga/Light Novel fans. Check out for free and exclusive eBooks, as well as specia
Their global website and application is in English, so it is very easy to navigate through.
2)Create an account
You can use your Google or Facebook account to get in, or create your own Bookwalker account.
(I am using the JP version but the global version is in English)
Enter your informations, and now, you have an account! Everything is in English, it should be easy.
I strongly advice you to also enter your paiement informations right away, you'll understand why later.
3) Look for SQ.RISE (the D.Gray-man magazine)
⚠️Here is the tricky part.⚠️
The chapter won't come out if you just tap "D.Gray-man" on the research bar. You have to look for "SQ.RISE", the magazine in which D.Gray-man is published.
SQ. RISE is only available on the Japanese version. Yeah, I know. It's stupid. BUT, you have access to the JP version with your global Bookwalker account. It just means the site will be in Japanese
Here the link for the Japanese version :
In the research bar, look for "SQ. RISE".
Then, you'll arrive to this page :
When you click on the magazine, you'll have all the recent issues appearing. Just click on the one you want (the latest one is on the left!)
4) Buy the magazine
Click on the "今すぐ購入" (buy now), on the left. The right option is "put it in the cart", if you wanna keep on shopping more.
Beware, if you click before the release time, you'll get this screen :
"予約する" means "to pre order". If you click on that screen, the magazine will download automatically the moment it releases.
5) Payment
Time to pay! Click on the middle option "全額登録したクレジットカードで今すぐ購入" (pay everything with credit card)
As you'll have noticed, you're on the JP version of the website, so everything is in Japanese. That is why I strongly advise you enter your credit card informations on your English account so you don’t have to do it in Japanese when you buy the magazine.
And now you have bought the magazine!
6) Reading time!
Click on "Read now" (読む) to read it from the internet page or "Read in the app" (アプリで読む) to read it on the application !
Now, you'll have the magazine!
When you open the magazine, on the second page, you'll have the summary, so you know on which page is D.Gray-man new chapter!
For instance, on this picture, D.Gray-man is page 453.
And that's all!
I know it might sound a bit complex, but I really encourage you to buy magazine. It is the best way to support D.Gray-man so it can continue.
