Where can I read and request manga?

My mission with my tumblr is to help you find official resources to consume manga; doing it these ways will help the mangaka who work to bring you content and it encourages English publishers to bring over more series.

Check under the cut for legal websites, apps and retailers with detailed information. At the bottom you'll find surveys and ways to contact publishers with requests.

You can use regular retailers to buy digital and print: Amazon/Kindle, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, Bookwalker, Google Play, Apple Books, Nook

There are apps available for buying volumes, chapters, using ticket systems to access free content, or with subscriptions.

Mangamo - $4.99/mo for 200+ titles; titles available for purchases with in-app library

Viz manga - $1.99/mo; titles available to purchase with in-app library (carries titles from Viz, but not their SJ series)

Shonen Jump - $2.99/mo; titles available to purchase with in-app library (carries specifically SJ titles, which are often popular shounen)

Comikey - uses a key system; ability to read for free with ads and patience

Kmanga - app maintained by Kodansha; chapters are often available to read for free through a ticket system and able to purchase

Kodansha - a website where you can create a free reading account. They offer 3 free chapters on all their manga, occasionally feature several free volumes, and run sales on their content somewhat regularly.

MangaPlus - $1.99 or $4.99 for a subscription; will allow a free read of their simulpub series.

MangaPlaza - 7 day free trial; $6.99/mo; [info incoming, seems to have more mature licenses]

INKR - 3 ways to access content; free, coins & 'Extra Membership'. Extra can cost $4.99/mo or $44.99/year and gives you access to content, extra savings and "free ink" that can be traded for their coin system. (Used to be Manga Rock and that was a fun read from them)

MangaPlanet - $1.99/week -> $47.99/year depending on which tier you pay for.

MangaUP - 1 month free trial, $4.99/mo; you can browse their 'vault' to see if things you like are included

Irodori Comics - hosts 18+, specializes in doujinshi, more info incoming

Renta! - point system; 1 point = 1 cent; regular bonus points for higher purchases

ComiXology - $4.99/month; a service through amazon that allows you access to comics, manga and graphic novels. Specifically boasts {2400} manga titles.

Animeplanet - has a library of completely free comics and anime through partnerships; seems to host less manga styled comics but free is free.

Manta, Comicle, Webtoon, Tappytoon, Tapas, WebComics, Bilibili will be looked into but they host mostly webtoon style comics

Seven seas has a (mostly) monthly survey that is linked on their homepage at all times. {They will pull from any publisher, including digital only simulpubs}

If you have a bookwalker account, I found a Google doc that you fill out requests and they send them to publishers.

To send suggestions to Viz, use this survey that is listed through their Contact Us page (you select the "Series Suggestion" and will be redirected) {they mostly pull from shogakukan and shueisha titles}

To send suggestions to Kodansha, go to their contact us page and there are 2 useful drop downs; suggest reprints and suggest series, suggest series is also useful to request a print of anything they've licensed digital only. {They pull almost exclusively from Kodansha Japan}

TokyoPop has a discord server where they look at your suggestions in the channel #licensesuggestion

If you are able, in any way, support official English releases. It shows it is a lucrative business decision to continue the manga. Nothing is worse than starting something and being unable to finish it because it stopped getting translated and published.

I will update this post as needed, enjoy your manga! ♡

Hot days may be ahead, but so are MANY new shoujo and josei releases arriving in June! ☀️📚

Lots of new and old favorites to get hyped for are getting new volumes next month!

Let me know which titles you’re most excited for! 🤗

Please note that all dates are subject to change and that almost all information (dates and covers) are directly taken from the publisher's website!

several questions from today's episode:

* it seems that the play/opera futian showed lu qianqiao is likely actually a reflection of reality - lu qianqiao forgot futian when he wiped his own memory. could futian be the boy who was also at liubo temple?

* whatever is going on with the ravens is freaky. could it be some sort of spirit bond xia xuanzi still had with ravens that is now transferred to a'sheng?

* why is qinghong keeping meishan around if he isn't a cultivator?

* will xin mei be regaining some memories if chu ying's power is weakening? funny though how those memories seem barely relevant after everything else

* who is it in the central plains who want the writings of war demons, and who is the man working with qinghong?

anyways after a big fight like in ep 25, it's not surprising the story has had to build back up again. it's a bit frustrating this has coincided with the release schedule slowing to 1 ep/day, but surprisingly i am still very into it. i am invested in almost all the characters. even though quite a few of them have turned out more callous than i ever imagined, almost all of the remaining major characters have interesting character arcs

Somehow I totally forgot about the play but omg! I knew there was some kind of connection and the way he kept telling LQQ "I want to be your friend" ....

After all the really crazy episodes where I've been crying and screaming and raging or a combo of the 3, having these last 2 be a lot slower was interesting. I'm not mad, it was all still important things for all the characters I think; it was almost nice to slow down and just have to get the information in bite sizes again but I am very frustrated with the drop to 1 EP per day! Give me more I am insanely emotionally invested in this dang it! (It won't stop me but I might start skipping days bc 1 a day doesn't seem like enough for me right now.)

MyAnimeList synopsis under the cut.

At a business meeting, 26-year-old Tsugumi Kawana faces the biggest surprise in her life: she is reunited with Itsuki Ayukawa, a former high school friend and her first love. She is elated that Ayukawa has been able to achieve his dream of becoming an architect, while she herself has secured a stable job at an interior design company. As they reminisce about the past, Tsugumi is shocked to find out Ayukawa has been disabled following an accident. Unable to walk on his own, he now has to rely on the use of a wheelchair.

Tsugumi knows that dating a disabled person is a complex matter; moreso, she does not want to ruin her friendship with Ayukawa, who refuses to be romantically involved with anyone. However, as she begins to interact with him more and learns about his condition, Tsugumi realizes her feelings for him may not have disappeared entirely.
