Get ready for more manga with the all-new VIZ Manga App, available now for iOS and Android devices. While Shonen Jump has a dedicated app for the series released in the magazine, VIZ Manga hosts different titles. From horror to romance and everything in between, VIZ Manga includes the best of the best from the publisher. The app will also get simulpub releases from the hottest manga series each week.
From the VIZ Manga FAQ:
VIZ Manga is a digital manga service where you can read free chapters of the latest series simulpub with Japan, and subscribe to access the VIZ Manga digital library of over 10,000 chapters.

New chapters of selected VIZ Manga series like Komi Can’t Communicate, Zom 100: The Bucket List of the Dead, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, and many others are released the same day as Japan and available to read for free! You can also check out concluded series by reading the first chapters for free. New series are added regularly!

VIZ Manga App Vs. Shonen Jump
Currently, a VIZ Manga App subscription retails at $1.99 per month and is only available in Canada and the United States. (The app comes with a 7-day free trial.) In comparison, the Shonen Jump subscription retails at $2.99 per month and is available in more countries. (Currently, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, the Philippines, Singapore, and India can access Shonen Jump.) This also means Shonen Jump chapters can only be read on the Shonen Jump app now. However, readers can still purchase full volumes of Shonen Jump titles on the VIZ Manga App.
For those that want to binge read the works of Junji Ito and Rumiko Takahashi, you can do so now! Stay tuned for more manga and anime news here on Miso.
