MANGA Plus By SHUEISHA Customer Service

Okay, I don’t mind the large, no, MASSIVE chapter gaps. We can just read them elsewhere. For the titles that I do read here, I’ve noticed that I haven’t been getting the notifications. I also can’t say I’m a fan of the “First Time Read” concept, it’s kind of dumb that we don’t have the option to go back and reread. You could have something similar to Webtoon’s DailyPass. Instead of the 14-day availability, we could watch an ad at the start to “unlock” the chapter as well as the ad that you already have at the end of each chapter. Then we could watch an ad for each time we reread that chapter or just permanently “unlock” the chapter after watching x number of ads. An additional way of doing this would be similar to the point system on Zedge: watch ads -> claim points -> stockpile however many points the chapter you want to read costs -> permanently(?) unlock the chapter. This would also be appreciated for the titles that have a relatively large gap between chapters.

I gave this app a mid rating because they choose to drop almost all of their new chapters on 2 days, Sundays & Wednesdays, but couldn’t handle the traffic. It was frustrating for a month or two, but it’s been a significant amount of time since I’ve had to wait until Monday to read the Sunday drops, due to the apps inability to work. They also added a new interface a couple months ago that makes it way easier to find new releases. If I could change two things, which are minor, it would be to have the app take you to the series page when you click on it, instead of opening the most recent chapter. It can cause some confusion when you’re diving into a currently running series, in terms of keeping up with which chapters you actually read and did not read. And lastly, instead of keeping a small, minuscule amount of exclusives on SJ, just add One Punch Man & Dark Gathering. And the bangers y’all are hiding behind the Viz app paywall. Snowball Earth, Cosmos, Magical Girl, Dandelion, Mao, Tokyo Fears Rapsody, all of em; just put them on Manga Plus, already. Other than those tiny critiques, this is the best manga app on the market, I recommend it to everyone.

This app has great potential to being one of the best manga reading app but the problem with the app is that the only available manga is that of the ones you mainly find in Shonen Jump. Also there are a few manga with a huge gap of chapters missing making hard to truly get into the manga. So a way for this app to reach its full potential would to start adding a lot more manga from different publishers/ distributors so there could be a larger variety of manga which would draw more people into using the app. Also for the mangas that are missing a large chunk of their chapters should have them slowly become available so people could really get invested in the manga. Until then I will only recommend this app to people who are reading pacific manga and if all the chapters are available for the manga as well.

Yeah so a couple months ago they made it so that pretty much everything is free, upon first read, then you have to buy. This applies to 90% of everything on the app, and everything else is going through “re-releases” where you can read old stuff week to week as if it were coming out fresh, which is interesting in of itself if you don’t mind not binging already existing material. Point is the old reviews are obsolete now, you can read everything for free one time only, but one time is enough for you to experience the story, Which is a really smart way to actually encourage people to buy volumes/buy subscription since Why would you buy a volume of something you don’t know you like, but if you know you like it, then you’re more likely to buy it to support it and have a physical copy of it.

This app is so amazing with its UI and Comment Section that gives a greater sense of community as well as the price. This app constantly feels like it’s getting better as well as add features for everyone to enjoy. Unlike other Manga apps this one feels like you’re part of a community the same thing that Crunchyroll had before they removed it, here’s to hoping these guys never remove it! They have all the manga you could ever want and at its price. I do wish there was a yearly option but I understand that’s just how the manga industry works seen as how no manga app to my knowledge has ever had a yearly option. A great app simple as that. 10/10 Updating my review to add the fact that the new UI is simply amazing it’s so perfect I can’t even begin to describe it truly a 10/10

I really love this app, but they keep putting the “get the MAX version to read this chapter” thing, but what if we don’t have the money? This is one of my favorite apps, but it’s beginning to go downhill, this has almost every manga you can search, but it’s going to become like crunchy-roll it will be a great app, but your probably going to have to pay later in the future, I understand they are trying to make money, but this is getting sad to see one of my favorite apps trying to charge me, but if you don’t mind being charged, or having to find specific mangas, then this is one of the best ones I’ve found so far.

Just to clarify, this app is not intended to allow one to read all of a series (with some exceptions) all for free. The purpose of this app is provide a legal platform for new Jump chapters to be free and available worldwide in English/Spanish simultaneously with the Japanese release. Previously, only certain English-speaking countries had access through Viz’s Shonen Jump digital magazine subscription. Now, however, the latest 3 chapters (and newer series have moved to latest 6 chapters) are free to read simultaneously the same time chapters release in Japan. If you’re looking to read an entire Jump series such as My Hero Academia or Black Clover, this is not the app you’re looking for. The Shonen Jump and/or Viz app may be worth checking out (if it’s available in your country), as they offer a $2 subscription so you can read all backlog chapters. If those apps aren’t available from your country, then unfortunately you have less options, such as importing the English paperback volumes (some online stores such as Book Depository or Blackwells have worldwide free shipping), VPNs, or the unfortunate necessity to pirate. If that is you, then I implore you to email/support ticket Viz to offer their subscription in more countries, and to ask MangaPlus/Shueisha to create a payment option in the app to be able to purchase chapters or have a subscription similar to Viz. As for the MangaPlus app itself, I have a couple requests, such as stitching double spreads together when reading on iPad vertically, as well as a way to log into an account across multiple devices. The addition of series that are on Viz but not here such as My Hero Academia Vigilantes and One Punch Man would be appreciated as well.

First let me start by saying thank you, you’ve done amazing work by bringing the great mangas we all love to read to us on our phones. I love the interface and settings you have available for everyone to use and switch around to accommodate the person using. The one down fall is the loading of each page, thought it was a internet/wifi issue at first but no it’s the app. I don’t know if this can be fixed but if so then your app would be flawless! Thanks for a great app! God bless you and all of your employees!

Honestly, I’ve had a hard time finding a good manga reading app since manga rock had permanently shut down. I used a couple but they had their flaws that turned me off to them really fast. It felt like nothing was going to compare, until I found this app. While I don’t believe it’s currently at the same level Manga Rock was, it really has the potential to be as good, if not better. It’s selection is great as far as quality, a lot of big name series available to read, but it’s still lacking in overall content availability. I hope it gains popularity and starts adding more for people to choose from.

This app immediately beat my expectations! I have been wanting to find a cheap way of reading the Demon Slayer manga FOREVER. So, I finally did something smart. I asked ChatGPT, “Give me a link to where I can read Demon Slayer mangas free full online” and in response it showed me this app. When I got it; it said free but I couldn’t read the mangas I wanted without buying a subscription… but the subscriptions are SO CHEAP and still AMAZING BENEFITS. Because of this amazing app I got to read EVERY DEMON SLAYER MANGA! AND IT WAS AMAZING QUALITY! I fully recommend this app to anyone who is fine with paying ONLY 4.99$ a month for an extremely benefitting subscription.

This app is a really great place to read your favorite mangas but I just wish that there weren’t ginormous gaps between chapters in certain mangas. Other than that the layout is nice and once you click on a manga you want to read it gives you directions on what page to turn to next or which panel to read first and I think that is really great for new manga readers who need help adjusting to the right to left reading of japanese literature. In all the app is great but again the chapters gaps can be very infuriating at times.

So up until a couple months ago, the app was functioned to serve the first three chapters of a manga to introduce, and the last/recent three chapters for people caught up. The app offered nothing but those six chapters every story, no in between chapters. That has CHANGED, most of the bad reviews tackled that topic. Now this app offers EVERY CHAPTER FOR FREE! This excludes non-serialized chapters and is only offered for english translation. YOU CAN ONLY READ A FREE CHAPTER ONCE, please keep that in mind 🫡 good app deserves better ratings for sure.

I love this! The only problem I have with it is for some manga it doesn’t have all chapters so it’s Like u have to be there before to read it.. but there’s only like 10 of those out of thousands <3 some time ago I uninstalled it because I stopped reading manga and got busy with school and I installed it again and went to my favorites and was surprised to see it all save! It SAVES xx! I honestly love it so much and recommend if u are somebody that lives romance comedy fantasy books <3 9/10 recommended 100%

Loving the app thus far! It’s a great way to read the latest chapters of your favorite Shonen Jump series, and I love the layout of the app and the fact you can leave comments for each chapter! One criticism I have is that the spread pages are broken up, compared to the VIZ Media and Shonen Jump apps, where I can turn my phone horizontally to see the entire spread, in full HD quality, and don’t have to scroll to see it split into pages, which is what I have to do with this app. Otherwise, it’s an excellent product! Thanks Shueisha!

I’ve been trying to find an app to read my favorite mangas like My Hero, Substitute classroom, Death Note, and much more. It’s easy and clear to read the pictures are just amazing the only thing I’m not a big fan of is that I have to turn the pages left if there was a switch to change it to where you can flip the pages right that would be amazing. But overall amazing app definitely recommend to book worms like me 😁

I have been loving reading the jujutsu kaizen manga I love anime and reading is good so I am so happy I found this app so I can read the manga I would recommend if you want to read the manga this is probably the best manga app I’ve tried I have also been trying some other apps to try to get the manga but most of the time it doesn’t let me read the manga but this app does, You should get this app if your looking for a manga reading app

But there is a problem I gotta say this is one of the best manga reading apps, I found this app when my friend recommended manga plus for reading manga so I downloaded the app and went inside to read Boruto but about 40 chapters was not available sooooo that's a problem and not only boruto but many other mangas as well.., I don't expect u people to read this but i am still just saying and if u do read this plsssss do something about this plsss!

The app works amazing! I think the app is well build, however it lacks the most important thing… manga ! There’s not many options to choose from. Until this moment it just have 124 titles to read from, and most of them are shonen. This could be a great app if the add more tittles. And they also add the option to download the chapters, that would be a great update. Far from that, I think this could be the best manga app I’ve seen before.

Okay so I have tried so many apps to get to be able to read my hero Academia but they all say “ Hey become a membee to actually read the the rest of the manga” but the only problem is that when a picture shows up for action you have to slide just to see the double page picture. Overall this is a great app but I would give it a 5 star if they would fix that issue, Thanks!

For people who want to actually read manga for free this app got you! It keeps you up to date and lets you know when the new chapter out for what you’re reading! There’s so much to discover honestly always recommend this app for people. You can read the whole series for free . Only downside if you want to reread a certain series then you might have to pay but overall it’s such a good app

Why do like all of the manga have only three chapters published? Also why can I only find the re edition of a lot of manga they said they have. For example I got this app specifically for Tōkyō Ghoul and I only found the re edition and it only had like three chapters. I just would really like to see some more chapters and also I really wanna read sword art online and I didn’t see it so that would be a cool addition. All in all I like the layout but it could use some work.

This app is great for reading the Kaijuu no.8 manga! It was my last resort when all other pirating websites were too sketchy or broken to use and this app works perfectly fine! The only downside is you’d have to pay in order to re-read a manga chapter as once you read a chapter, you can’t ever go back to it unless you pay.

I love this app. It's a really good one & I like the idea behind the set up may be in need of an update however. Since IOS 14 it only gives me a black screen whenever I open the app. Not sure what the problem is but I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple times. Still a good app nonetheless, but hopefully this problem can get fixed.

So for anyone saying they can’t read all the chapters you need a subscription to Shonen jump 1.99/month. With that you can read 100 chapters a day on either the viz or Shonen jump app. In regards to the app itself I enjoy what it has to offer and I hope it will avoid region locking comics. The only thing I want is more comics and it would be neat if there was a fan translation option so that people could voluntarily translate the comics into other languages.

Ok ok can you please put all the chapters in Boruto then I will put it at five stars

MangaPlus is the gold standard: high quality scans right from the publisher, cheap subscription, huge range of Jump titles from outside of Shonen Jump too. Just astonishingly good. My only major con: not very friendly for use on multiple devices as subscription is tied to apple ID rather than email.

I understand some people are angry that they locked some titles behind a “paywall” but how else is everyone gonna make a living? It’s a very reasonable price considering standard and deluxe and since I enjoy manga a lot I didn’t hesitate to get deluxe. I like how it barely uses any cellular data but it would also be nice if there was an offline feature to download manga so you can read with no internet/data. I know adding a feature like this would increase the amount it is to pay for deluxe, but I see no problem in this for it would be amazing to read manga offline. Overall, I see no major flaws with this app and find it really great that shuesha (forgive me if I spelled shuesha wrong) found such a great way to read manga legally. Thank you for your continued love and work especially on the give back to the creator ad thing.

Can we add yaoi (boy X boy) to the collection PLS!😊

This is so cool. I dont have to spend 10,000 on manga anymore

I’m sooooo glad it lets you read past chapters without charging you I needed to catch up to One Piece and that feature came in clutch Forever grateful 5 stars

Personally I just read whatever’s being serialized and updated (not rly into finished series) so the app works great for me. Should have a page refresh option though as sometimes pages don’t load.

So I was tirelessly searching for a manga app that had old/new, completed/uncompleted manga. Manga plus has so much (not everything but a really large portion of the stuff I wanted to read. I got the sub because I wanted to read completed and have no ads. Honestly for how much manga I’m reading, no ads, and the accessibility to read almost anywhere. Worth the 7$ CAD that I pay. Not even mad. People give plus a hard time but they are doing a good service and they do it while supporting creators. If u don’t want to pay the sub and don’t like the app go read on the stupid websites all over the internet that’s covered in ads.

I can read one piece for free and it’s high quality

It’s very good but I wish this app had the volumes on it although it’s a small thing I really want to read volumes instead of chapters

👍

A perfect reading app for me 😀

I love this app rly amazing ty

Really enjoying the free service. First 3 chapters of every series are free to read as much as you like. Same goes for the 3 most recent chapters. Many series also allow one free reading of all chapters, but they are locked after one viewing so be careful where you click. Ads are minimal and not intrusive all which I really like.

You can read all the mangas for free

Love it! Would be even better if we could know which chapters we already read.

I have an active MANGA Plus MAX Deluxe subscription, but Jujutsu Kaisen only shows Chapters 1–50 in the app, and only the first 3 chapters on the website. I expected all 271 chapters.

This app is purrrrrrrrfect I love it so much even though you need a subscription of 1 dollar per month (I forgot the actual price) But it’s well made! When you leave the app and when you re open It you have to close the app then re open it and you can’t put a bookmark but it does it for you but a part from that it’s pretty good 👍 I suggest this app to manga readers! And a friend even suggested this app to me! Subscribe to me on youtoube -LLAMMA-KING

I really want to love the Manga Plus app. It boasts an impressive library of manga that I'm eager to dive into, and I've even committed to a paid subscription to support the creators and access all the content. However, my experience on my iPad Pro has been consistently frustrating, to the point where I'm seriously considering canceling my subscription. The biggest issue by far is the excruciatingly slow loading times. Whether it's the very first page or a subsequent one, I'm frequently met with a black screen and forced to wait long periods before the manga page finally loads. This breaks the immersion and makes reading a chore rather than a pleasure. For a premium service on a powerful device like the iPad Pro, this performance is simply unacceptable. It's a shame, as the content itself is fantastic. But if I can't reliably and smoothly read the manga I'm paying for, the value proposition quickly diminishes. I sincerely hope the developers address these performance issues soon, as it's currently holding back what could otherwise be a truly excellent manga reading experience.

Like many others, I think the most recent update was a poor decision or at least rolled out at a poor time. most people are struggling right now financially, and paying for subscriptions isn’t really feasible (I know that’s how it is for me). I thought manga plus had a decent set up previously, and I had no issues with the app, but lost some time to be able to read. so I re-downloaded it, unsure of where I was last left on some series I was reading but now I honestly can’t tell. with the subscription lock icons, I can’t tell which chapter i’m on to even see if it’s worth paying for the subscription or not.. which honestly I probably can’t do right now. it’s hard because I want the mangaka and the people that make these translations possible to be paid for their work obviously, I just think it should have been implemented from the start and that’s where people are upset. something that was once accessible now isn’t, and I do think that unfortunately many will turn to scanlations once again. I wish I had a solution here, but I don’t.

After making the Updates page needlessly complicated and adding a “Hot” page that I’m not even sure who benefits from or who asked for it, the changes to the Browse page in your recent update is the most egregious one. Gone is the page I usually used the most, as it gave me a clear view of all currently ongoing series, divided by sub-publisher (SJ, SJ+ and others) and it has been replaced by this useless, noisy page full of random lists that add no value to your app. I just want a quick and consistent way to check everything at a quick glance. I had it. It worked great. Now it’s gone and it’s pretty annoying. Please, at the very list, give us the option of opening a full series from the Updates page instead of just the latest chapter if you still intend to continue with your useless lists and polls.

The app updated recently, and got a new visual overhaul. The pricing structure changed a little bit too, but I’m honestly fine with it. They offer you a few different ways to be able to purchase a subscription and read the manga that you would like to read honestly, the whole thing is fine. But the visual overhaul is a little unsettling. Everything used to be sorted by the date, and you would always be able to see the series title, and what day it came out on. That way you could easily tell if something had just gotten an update. now it’s fairly tricky to tell what day something came out, so it can be a little tricky to know if you’re looking at today’s updates or yesterdays updates. Overall, it’s a fine system, but it could really use some polishing.

This is not a review of the content in the app, purely the app itself. The system they have in place where when you finish something for the first time it locks it forever is quite annoying, but excusable if it weren't for the fact that its EXTREMELY laggy. Once, i was reading a series and i was really into it but when i got to a chapter all the pages were blank, so I waited for it load. It never loaded and instead kicked me out of the app by itself I wouldn't mind this too much, but with said system in place when i got back in the app the chapter was locked and I would've had to download another app and pay to read it "Again". So, in conclusion, the app was very disappointing and if I could read manga in another place i would.

User Interface is worse after the recent update. In the updates page, they only show a picture of the series cover and the chapter title. So if you don’t know the series cover, you can accidentally read the wrong manga and use up your free chapter. Doesn’t help that the covers are smaller now and aren’t seperated by update day(at least as far as I can tell) aside from the “New” label. When you try to read a chapter, it opens a prompt to select the language. Which is annoying. Why can’t I just set it all to one language in the settings? I doubt many users are constantly reading two or more different language translations The spoiler warning when you open the comments is nice though. Appreciate the effort. Mostly pointless if you’re caught up every week though since comments are accessed at the end of the chapter

The new design with the calendar view is functional on mobile, but on iPad you can only see the days of the week and the first manga listed. This makes navigation incredibly difficult and cumbersome. Please introduce some actual proper scaling / responsive design to tablet size. Not sure why this navigation change was made at all, since it introduces more unnecessary taps on all platforms and it is chronologically confusing to see the past days listed to the right of the current day depending on the day of the week. Additionally, I’d like to raise up a bug that has existed on tablet for a while, when in landscape view with two pages shown, if you navigate/multitask away and come back the right page will be slightly smaller and out of alignment, making double-page spreads look bad. Thanks for your time.

This app is fine if you want to read shonen manga for free, once, and only a set amount of the earliest and latest chapters available in the app; the rest are locked with no way of accessing (no subscription or points system). I would use it to preview something without paying and then use other means to read the whole series. Otherwise, if you can, paying for the Shonen Jump subscription on the Shonen Jump app is better. Also, this app’s notifications are non-existent. I have all settings for this thing to notify me when new chapters of my favorites are available, but I get nothing. I don’t even get any other app notifications, the whole thing just doesn’t work. Inconvenient.

It’s ok but it doesn’t truly give you the option to sign in. I just simply put my name and a photo. But I had trouble with it on my iPad. I got the subscription on my phone but my iPad I had to delete then reinstall and click restore purchase but it doesn’t show my name. And it doesn’t have a “current reading” spot or something that has you saved where you left off. I have to go to the manga and it shows all chapters and then click what chapter i was on. There needs to be a feature to where you exit it saves in that chapter and once you come back you click the manga photo and it takes you to that chapter or below it has the chapter last on.

Always slow, occasional odd panels due to properly load pages in app. It is okay for an official free manga reading app. But it needs a lot of work aside from this. They need to allow for actual accounts to be made in order to have true cross platform compatibility. I like to read on my Boox but I have to look for everything manually because there’s no account to keep track of all of my reading progress between my iPhone and tablet. I feel like having that option would get them more people who also switch between devices to subscribe, if in-app subscriptions were tied to accounts, then cross platform compatibility would be even better. Please consider this.

The developers of the app have tried many changes over the years to improve the UI, but it’s never been good. 1. You can never tell what manga in your library have new chapters, forcing you to look at them and scroll to the bottom. 2. The new highlights page is a bloated mess, it’s so difficult to look through especially as it only shows one day’s updates at a time. 3. Changing languages you need to press a little button in the corner rather than the big prominant button at the bottom 4. It doesn’t save age or language preferences 5. Each opened chapter is it’s own “window”, meaning you’ll need to close several to truly exit. 6. The app won’t save your position in a chapter. 7. If you turn off your device and come back later it won’t allow you to reload, you have to exit the chapter then go back in. Also the app has gotten so slow at loading chapters lately that I have to leave it open for a few minutes to avoid blank pages (it often doesn’t load the last page.) All of these issues should be updated to male the app usuable

The app is great all around and works pretty good load time are usually pretty fast even when on bad internet but there is one major problem for me and it isn’t the free ticket system that’s fine I have no problem with paying to get access to read a chapter again but the issue I have is that some titles don’t have links to go and pay for the subscription so if you some how end up out of a chapter and leave it or close the app your completely out of luck I hope this reaches some one who cares to fix it cause it has cause me problems in a couple of times

New UI has made what was already a pretty user unfriendly UI into something that has some good but mainly bad. I like that the new updates to series can be separated by date, but on days like Sundays or others where a lot of series get updates its possible for many of them to get buried by the UI’s inability to show all the new updated titles on the home screen, some of the less viewed titles are cut off. And a new annoying bug is that the last panels of manga that are a single page don’t show up unless in vertical mode rotation instead of horizontal which is the way i read manga

I downloaded this app a little while ago, before that big update, and back then it was a really good app. I got to read things on my to-read list with relative ease. My friends who used the app didn’t really like how if you didn’t read a chapter in time it would be gone basically for ever, but I thought that it was good that people didn’t have infinite gratification with there manga. But then the update I mentioned earlier happened, the update made almost every thing only accessible by buying premium which I’m not gonna do, if I wanted to pay to read manga I would just go to the bookstore and buy it myself. I’m only gonna redownload it if it goes back to not having a premium version.

I want to preface this by saying I’ve never written a review for any app on my 15 years of using a phone. But this update has affected me to a large extent. Manga Plus was in my daily routine, check the new releases, read the reeditions, catch up on old manga. Now, half of those options are completely obsolete if I don’t pay. The app still has great use but compared to where it was even a day ago, Its like comparing One Piece to Family Guy. I hope that they at LEAST bring back reeditions or the ability to fully read serialized manga. Otherwise, how can new readers even get into the genre?

I don’t know if this is a widespread issue across the industry or not but the scans are pretty low-res. for context i’m on an iphone 16 plus, which is a so a pretty big phone but still. if i zoom in for details at all things get blurry real fast, so i can’t imagine what it’s like on an ipad. it’s honestly really disappointing. otherwise the free tier is pretty great. even though you can’t re-read chapters, having access to everything is worth it and the only ads you see are pictures that come at the end of chapters and you can quickly breeze past them which is fantastic!

This app is great when it works! It has a huge catalogue that gets updated daily and it has a decent reader but the reader keeps giving me issues! Right in the middle of chapters it will not load some pages and the issue gets worse if you use the app for a while! I also don’t like that there’s no sign in option that’s a little odd. I hope that they’re able to resolve these issues soon because this app is really good when it works! Especially if you’re trying to take a break from doomscrolling on social media this is a good alternative!

How is it that every update, you say you made some changes for the better, but is it better really when you click on chapter that you can’t view it again I mean come on would if I didn’t mean to click that chapter then when I want to read it I can’t read it again, if you really want to make changes on the app for the better make it so we can view it anytime we want, like seriously if you’re going to make Changes on the app for the better actually make it for the better if you want people to continue coming to your app that is!!! 😡

I downloaded this app because I wanted to read the demon slayer manga I got to episode 3 and then... EPISODE 204?! It says all of the episodes in between weren’t available,if that’s true, why even bother, I was so depressed and sad over this because I’m a big fan of this manga, and I really believed that I would be able to read the manga, but as it turns out I can’t, and now I have to find some other way of reading it. I’m so disappointed that I don’t even have words, I searched for a while and I really wanted to read the manga and understand the franchise more, because I’m watching the show, and I have to wait until the April of 2021 to see season two, but there’s so many things I’ll never get to see.

The only benefit to this app is the clean translations and pages. Most manga you're tryna read you'll only see the first 3 chapters and last 3 chapters, if you wanna see the in between you have to pay and 9/10 even if you pay the app won't have those chapters. Download the app, read the most current ones and any other ones you want to read, look up the name and just search through another app or online website. BUT never pay for this app, you're literally throwing away money

I love One Piece, so I decided to read the manga to catch up on the series, as I have not read the anime much at all. So upon starting to read chapter 4, I realized that it said free only for the first time. At first, I didn’t really care at all. But when I accidentally hit the button to get off of reading chapter 5, I completely lost my mind. And even worse, when I deleted and reinstalled the app, it saved my progress, a bug in some apps which need to be PERMANENTLY fixed! If you make the entire manga series free, then I will finally be satisfied. If not, then I will sue you for life. You don’t want that to happen, don’t you.

This used to be the best mobile app as an American to read manga in English, like I so love to do. I paid for the subscription and was happy with the breadth of releases that we got, the UI, and the smooth reading experience. They pushed some UI overhauls, which I don’t mind, but now the reader is an extremely frustrating experience. Incredibly long load times for every single page (have fun looking at a black screen while you wait) and for even simple chapter thumbnails. I’ve cancelled my subscription. I will miss this one.

If you are a person looking for a good app to read manga do not get this app. If I could star lower I would. There are more popular manga like demon slayer or my hero academia on this app that go up to chapter 3 (or lower) and then skip to 206 or 368 and it makes me incredibly angry. I got this about 5 months ago but deleted it when I saw it does this, I thought they might have updated it so that it doesn’t do that anymore but I come back and guess what? It does this. I dislike how it does this and I have read other reviews saying how it does this. This app makes me extremely disappointed.

I marginally appreciated that they’ve made reading manga releases slightly more official- the execution of this app is pathetic. The biggest issue with the simplest fix is that Manga Plus utterly murders your reading experience. They are murderers. Every time you’ve turned to an epic double-page spread that shocked you and made your jaw-drop? Not happening. These developers lack the common sense to string double-pages together so that the art makes sense and is as powerful as it’s original medium. If you read the One Piece unofficial release: imagine that double-page scene with the 9 Red Scabbards marching... download this app just to see the injustice they did to that scene and then uninstall with me.

They try to get you to add it with the premise that you can read your favorite manga for free. What they don’t tell you is that you get to read basically 3 chapters and then the rest of the manga is unavailable. No one wants to read almost nothing of a manga it’s just a marketing ploy to get people to go buy it in the store after they hook them in a the app and unfairly tease them with it. I deleted the app because it’s basically useless and a lot of people are gonna go find illegal ways to read to make up for this failure of an app. Sorry but don’t tease your audience and expect them to stay with you

The User Experience has dramatically tanked with the new update, you no longer see comments without going into a deeper window, you have to select a language (even though I have my default set) for EVERY chapter you want to read, they no have all updates in a running list rather than showing which updates came out today or yesterday etc (which made it super easy to browse). Love the content and the reader for the manga, but the surrounding app is really terrible.

Fine by me with this subscription thingy, but you made the app UX extremely annoying to use. I don’t need every single popup message on every part I click. the choose language pop up is invasive, even after choosing the language already. how about making it english by default and change in the settings? the comments “spoiler warning” is unnecessary. it’s the reader’s responsibility to not get spoiled. And putting Nisekoi behind a paywall after almost finishing it hurt me 🥲

Because of Manga Plus’s new policy, I cannot read the manga that I downloaded the app to read without a subscription because it was recently finished. I figured I would try it out to see if it was worth it. It is not. Loading errors and issues repeatedly, poor image quality with heavy pixellation and noise despite setting the image quality to ‘high’, unreadable smaller text, and issues with Shueisha’s translations. I did not appreciate the “subtle” self-advertising by inserting their name as “Shoowaysha” into any referenced publisher within the manga I was reading. There were numerous typos and sentences that didn’t make sense, untranslated parts, and inconsistent and inaccurate localizations. I would hope that any licensed or “official” translation would strive to represent the original text as closely as possible, without errors or incessant irrelevant references. Just read the manga online elsewhere. There are a ridiculous amount of missing quality of life features too. Why can I not quickly resume the manga I was reading? I have to go to my favourited mangas, and then scroll down to the in-progress chapter. If I leave the app even briefly to respond to messages in another app or Google something, it’ll send me back to the first page of the chapter as well.

I’ve been reading on manga plus for a while now and it has been great👍👍👍. But recently with the new update they restricted titles that you could normally read for free for an infinite amount of times but now they restricted it behind a paywall😭. And they increased the price of the subscriptions.

I get the point of the comments to join people together as a community but it’s being used to discuss things other than the content of the manga and I would like this to change. The reporting feature doesn’t seem to do anything. I like the new support mangaka with ads feature and I hope it stays.

There are no popular mangas in the app don’t waste your money for subscription.

I went to open this and it telling me to update the app. I tapped on the pop up. Being on ios it didn’t open the app store but open my safari and sent me to google play… please app devs fix this.

In 2025 we didn’t have to pay to read the manga’s we like but we could on read each chapter once. I don’t know why you guys changed that but if you guys can please put it back to how it used to be. I can no longer read the manga I like because of this change

The app is great overall but for some reason recently the Favorites page no longer showing the update badge when a new chapter is out and so I have to keep checking each title to see when a new release happens. Please bring this back or fix it.

I like it but I can’t read jjk

Happened just today, app keeps crashing when I boot it up.

New version no longer compatible with my device😩 just when I was about to finish the one piece.

There’s nothing that has a lot of blood exept some and that romance stuff

Nice, but bad cause we can’t read all the chapter they only have the 3 first chapter and 3 last chapters

This version close every time

It’s good but the app isn’t opening for me anymore and I can’t find any help services in english, so unless this issue miraculously goes away i’ll be using a different app; sad

After update to iOS14, the app no long work, all I got is a black out page

Ever since IOS14 it’s been a black screen on launch.

App shows black screen on launch

I found this app hoping to be able to read some manga since the anime is paused or just finished the season. I opened the app and find that you can only read the first 3 chapters of the manga, and the 3 most recent chapters. extremely disappointed

I heard all the reviews say that it’s good but when I actually get in the app to read there’s no chapters in Between considering its a manga reading app shouldn’t there be all the chapters? I can’t read from beginning because THERE ARE NO FULL CHAPTERS it’s just jumping chapters and that really annoys me so much so please fix it

Where’s the search bar?

What’s the point in having a series with only the first 3 and last 3 chapters available...
