Shonen Jump Manga & Comics Customer Service

I love this app and spend hours upon hours every day reading from the broad selection of manga. The only downside is that while bingeing, I always have to hit read next and wait for the screen to flip. If the producers of this app could make it so that you could binge more easily without as long of a, or no, pause. Whenever I have to go to the next chapter I have to press “read next” which makes sense but the screen always glitches and flips which makes it so that I have to wait longer to keep reading. My other problem with this app is fact that there isn’t a screen lock so that whatever your screen angle is at, you can maintain one angle. I often read while laying down and like to put my screen to the side but am constantly hafting to put my screen back into a different position and when you use the phones “Lock Screen” feature, it positions the screen in portrait (horizontal) position and I prefer landscape (lateral) position. If in the menu pop up that appears when you click the screen once the was a little lock button where you could lock the screen regardless of what position your actual device was in, then that would make late night reading much more convenient for a side layer like myself. Like I said earlier, this is a great app and I love the low subscription price, but I would really like it if you could consider my suggestions.

1. I am a somewhat fast reader, and I read manga for hours and hours on end, but there is a limited amount of chapters that you can read every day. Yesterday, I downloaded the app and immediately started reading One Piece, and I read for a solid 4-5 hours straight, (yes I know, I don’t touch grass) and then I tried to go to the next chapter, and then a notification came up and said something along the lines of this: “ you have reached the limit of 100 chapters, this will will reset later, check back here in about 15 hours.” So that was pretty disappointing. So if you guys are going to do that, at least make a Shonen Jump plus subscription that costs slightly more where the amount of chapters per day you can read is unlimited, or a significant amount more. 2. I read on my IPhone mostly, so I need to turn it horizontal, and whenever I finish a chapter, it takes a solid 5-10 seconds just to get to the next chapter, because I need to turn my phone vertically to press the “read” button, then turn it again back to horizontal, and then wait 5 seconds for it to load. This isn't a big problem, its just inconvenient for mobile users. So maybe whenever the chapter ends, the screen could stay horizontal, so it is slightly more convenient. 3. You have to read by chapters for some reason, why cant I read the entire volume instead? it takes would save so much time for the readers, and the 2nd problem wouldn't even be as big of an inconvenience, but no, we have to pay $6.00 just for one volume, just for one series, (One Piece for example) would cost over 600 dollars. Why cant it be free to read by volume? It just doesn’t make much sense to me That being said, I still think this app is still really good overall. But it had some minor inconveniences that could be better.

Best deal in manga! For a small monthly fee you get access to thousands of chapters legally, and support authors directly! Highly recommended! While service is great, the app itself could use some improvements to the reading experience, specially around weekly chapters. At the end of a chapter, it would be ideal to show the queue instead of random recs. Also, adding a close book to that prompt would save you extra taps. Right now if you want to read weekly chapters from different series, you’ll inevitably swipe beyond the last page, dismiss the recs prompt, tap the page to show the navigation bar, tap to close, then tap the chapter you want to read. This might be fine if you’re reading a volume of manga, but gets old quickly when you’re reading 10+ series every week. The magazine cover is shown cropped. Why can’t I tap that preview banner to see the full cover? We’ve lost that since the switch from the magazine format. Why can’t I access author’s comments in the app (on the side, would be great if you added RSS to your blog, had to make a custom feed myself). On iPad, the continue reading row shows 5 series, but tapping see all shows only 4, which is disappointing use of the larger display. Another suggestion I have is to allow tapping the margins to flip pages, which mirrors other reading apps and e-readers. These are all just suggestions to improve the app experience from a hardcore reader and fan, and none are showstoppers. For anyone still reading, I highly recommend the service, which has been reliable and never failed me before.

I only recently started watching anime in 2022, so I came across of new recent shows that still needed a few years to be finished. Lots of the shows I watched were Shonen Jump adaptations like Jujutsu Kaisen, Tokyo Ghoul, Spy x Family, and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. I was bombarded by manga readers giving little hints towards the anime-onlys and I didn’t want to get spoiled myself, so why not just read the manga? The problem was, I couldn’t find a good app to have the correct selection of manga I wanted. However, this app made my life so much easier. It had all the manga I wanted to read and even for the monthly pay, which is only like $2.99, it’s so worth it. Reading it is super easy, there’s no ads, and a huge amount of manga to choose from. Some stories I’ve never even heard of I ended up reading it. I like how this app is super straight-forward. You can either buy the volume or just binge read the chapters. It also gives you recommendations and fan-favorites. Another thing I really like is how it has the dates of the newly-released chapters, and I don’t have to log it every time I read a new chapter. This has become a real life-saver for me and I will continue reading!

$2 a month for a huge archive of shonen is too good a deal to pass up. They have all my favorites and I can even catch up on chapters as they’re released. The reading experience is pretty solid too, with zoom and jumping between pages. That said, there are some annoying aspects of the app I’d like to see worked on. For example, when “streaming” a series (reading without downloading) I’ve had trouble returning to the manga I was when I restart the app. There’s nothing on the home page to return to where I left off, and even on the browse / library pages my progress is totally untracked, so I have to remember what chapter I was on. There are also a number of bugs and crashes. I’ve been getting black screens as I read that force me to restart, as well as some blank pages that I’m not sure are intentional, and chapters have begun to act as if I’ve already read them—so I start off on the last page when I open them. I managed to briefly scroll to page -1 today, which crashed the whole app. Funny stuff! That said, I can live with the kinks, and hope they continue to improve a great core product.

When I first started reading manga, I despised purchasing the manga. However once I started reading again a few months ago, I’ve loved it. I’d purchase the physical copies, but that became to expensive. This app made it so cheap and accessible for beginners like myself. The UI is easy to navigate and for 1.99$ a month, you get such a wide variety of good series! I’m super happy about my purchase and will more than likely continue after my free trial ends! The one problem I do have is that when searching for manga to read, it becomes misleading when searching on the browser website versus the app. On the website, it will show manga that you can read chapter by chapter and ones that only showcase the volumes. It becomes confusing when you find something on the browser, then find out you can’t read it on the app and you would need to purchase the volume separately. I understand it is a database for all their series, but I would like to favorite all my series in the app not just the chapter by chapter ones. But other than that, it is very convenient. 👍🏼

This is an amazing app with a library of incredible manga, and the $2 a month is an amazing deal. The only reason it didn’t achieve a five star rating from me was the lack of bookmarks making it a hassle to keep track of currently publishing manga and/or keeping track of what chapter you left off before closing the app. It would be great to have a favorites list where you can mark the mangas that you are following as well as a bookmark feature that allows you to tap the mangas name and it automatically puts you in the chapter and page you where reading. Also lately the chapters for MHA, Black Clover and other Friday published works are being published Sunday, this is a big problem because you guys are Shonen therefore why are pirated sites beating you to a punch in publishing speed? I have been spoiled of several chapters of MHA and Black Clover because of this. Other than these two big problems there’re several minor glitches of missing pages or pages not loading even if you are connected to strong internet meaning its a server info problem. If these issues are fixed i have no doubt in my mind that i will revise my 4star rating to a rightful 5star rating.

I’m a heavy reader and can go through a series quite quick. What I would love is if the app could keep track of the pages I'm on for various manga. cause some series when I go to the next chapter I'm already on the last page and scrolling through 600 chapters just to get to one 18 page chapter it is pretty long and sometimes mid scrool the app will crash, kick me out, then forget what page I'm on leaving me with scrolling another 5 mins to chapter 20 out of 670 then in between chapters I’m given ads to buy a physical copy of the manga.I’m already paying for online service why would I buy a physical copy? I mean I can understand trying to sell the PBs but honestly. it is a nuisance I say again I’m already paying for online service. You are transitioning to online service a majority of your PB sales will drop its inevitable. I will say PBs will sell themselves with out constantly reminding your premium subscribers that they exist. Not saying every reader will strictly be online but in my opinion if I see a good series online a truly moving serialization I move heaven and earth for a PB in mint just to have on my shelf. End of rant

I recently subscriped to monthly SJ a few days ago, so I want to provide updates on things that would dramatically improve the quality of the app. - Bookmark feature: Unless you finish a chapter and know where you stopped reading, you constantly have to run through old chapters to see if you have read them or not. - Volume Cover Artwork: This is a small thing, but it would be cool to see the different volume covers when you switch from the end of one chapter to the beginning of another - More titles: The primary reason I purchased the subscription was to catch up on Tokyo Ghoul after being piqued by the anime series. While I am reading other series in the meantime, I hope more titles get added somewhere down the road. - Popular Manga section: Similar to different streaming services, it would be cool if SJ could create a section of different titles for people who are unsure of what they want to read, and possibly separate them by genre as well.

For only $2 a month, you couldn't ask for a better service. The only issues I really have with it is that you only get to read/interact with 100 back log chapters a day. I really wouldn't mind paying a bit more if it meant that I could read and download what ever I want for as long as I have a membership. Also what's the deal with haveing to buy volumes? It would be convenient to have them grouped like that instead of by chapters. I can read a lot of manga in a short time, so haveing to click the next chapter button is anoying. So ether splitting them by volume or doing away with the next chapter button would be a God send, as well as vertical scrolling. I know I had a lot of complaints, but I really do love this service, before now it was an investment to spend $15-20 on manga volumes. With how fast I read them I'd have to buy multiple volumes at a time, leading to me spending upwards of $70 on new manga. This has saved me so much money and is well worth the $2 a month. So if you're on the fence, you can't go wrong with this. - WHERE ARE THE 18+ MANGA??!!? Get throes added.

This is a good app, the main reason I downloaded it is because the main licensed mangas like Naruto, One Piece, My Hero Academia, and One Punch Man are mangas you can’t read on an app like manga rock but isn’t worth the hassle to read on an online website. But with the 2$ subscription, you can read all these mangas( only the mangas under Shonen jump) but only up to 100 chapters a day. I get not being able to download a certain amount, but the fact that I’m paying for the subscription and I can only read 100 chapters a day seemed like a rip off: like they are trying to make sure you don’t speed through all the mangas and subscribe when in reality I just wanna binge all these mangas over and over again. So hopefully this changes but it’s almost pointless to have the free membership for this app, and then paying for it means that out of the about 50/60 titles that are provided by shonen jump: you can only read and download 100 chapters a day. I would say try to the free trial and see for yourself, but for me as long as there is a read limit I wouldn’t pay for the membership no matter how cheap it is.

I found this app when I was looking to get more into KNY demon slayer. I watched all the sub and, for the first time ever, watched all the dub available to me but it wasn’t enough. KNY was the first time I’ve ever read manga (I loved the series that much) and when I was finished I had fallen in love and I was ecstatic to find some of my all time favorite anime’s original manga all on this app. Of course it’s only Shonen series but with DBZ, Naruto, One Piece and so many more it’s definitely worth the $2 a month. My one and only complaint is a few of the manga can only be purchased by volume instead of read for free chapter to chapter (I’m looking at you HxH) but when you have an app like this it’s hard to feel upset over something like that. Not to mention each volume is only $7 so I can’t REALLY complain. I’d give this app 5/5 stars each and every time if you’re a manga fan you will adore it and if you’re only into anime I implore you to dive a little deeper. I did and I will never look back !

I reviewed this app when I first downloaded it over a year ago. I still love this app and I am glad it exists in this space. Paying the $1.99 is a no brainer and I love that I can give that money back to the creators that create my favorite stories. The feedback and features I asked for then have still not been added but that’s okay. I will say what would make this app more intuitive and easy to use is to have a library for the manga I am reading and for me to save that series so I can stay up to date on the chapters. But overall I love this app and appreciate all the time and effort being put into it. Edit : After close to two years of using this app I must say I still love it! What’s even better is the main feature I wanted which I mentioned above “the library to just go to my favorite manga” is finally a feature!!!! Thank you to the devs working on the app and I just changed the rating from 4 stars now to 5 stars

This app is good and I would give it a five star review but the deals are good as well it’s like one dollar a month and I could say it’s a better deal than Webnovel but the thing is as watching anime is a trend there are more people younger than being a teen and you know the more younger you are the more your Limited to things like you would have to ask your parents just to purchase one chapter so a member subscription would be just too much so maybe instead of always have a to do a subscription we would just have to log on or sign up I think it would help the customers. And with the searching things I downloaded this app to find Orahan The anime since since there’s no season two I tried to find it on the manga to see it nicely finished but the thing is I feel like it should like have a A genre search engine like maybe you could have one you could just press on me and then I could show you the anime manga then you could press what genre of the anime like romance or action so I think it would help the customers find the manga they want.

I will admit I did hesitate at first ti get it when I saw that you has to pay for it. But then all of my worried went away when I realized how cheep it was to pay for. (Only 2.99 a month I believe). Which is actually pretty good. I will admit the options here are pretty amazing, if you are willing to pay of course. I mean, you dint have to pay, but you will get less option and only get to read three free chapters of each manga. Which isn’t much if you think about it, but it is so worth it to see the options. They also give a description of each manga which helps for people who are trying to find different manga to read. I personally do love the app, since I don’t have other apps to see the anime. It is helpful to know that I can indeed read my favorite anime’s. I just got this app like maybe three days ago and I really do enjoy rewarding the options that are given. So if I were you I would totally get this app because it really is pretty good to have. :)

After being a supporter and subscriber since the app first launched I have only one major flaw that bugs me and would be a great place to start in making the app easier to use. No matter what device I’m using, when I’m done reading a chapter the “menu” is hard to open, especially when I want it to open so I can close the manga. The button is essentially a “down arrow” image and does 1 of 2 things. #1 it’s hard to click the menu open so you can timely hit the “down arrow” and close the manga before the menu disappears on you. #2 when you do get the menu open the “down arrow” won’t register you clicked it and you have to fight to get the menu open again… other than that the app is still great and quality of manga is awesome! I do hope you can fix this issue as I would love to be able to not have to close out the app and re open just to click a new manga or chapter.

I have had this app for about a month and I really wanted to do a review since it was pretty good. The fact that you can read so much for free is amazing for people who don’t want to pay for a subscription, but even then it’s like only two dollars for like all the manga you could ever want from Shonen that is. The 100 chapter limit is not really that bad that bad cause you like never reach that point, unless you decide that’s all your gonna do that day. The main reason I had gotten this app was to finish the part of Bleach that was not animated and I was not disappointed, but after finishing Hunter x Hunter and learning there were four volumes that were not animated I wanted to read them. Unfortunately you had to buy them if you wanted to read them even with a subscription. In conclusion I think that this app is great and has lots to offer for free and the subscription is something you won’t regret also, cause the idea of like having a whole library in your pocket is kinda cool.

2 dollars a month for hours and hours of manga is an insane deal, especially given the apps legendary lineup. While it’s missing certain shonen jump classics like Slam Dunk and Bobobo (I assume from licensing) you can also read other popular manga published by other Shueisha magazines (one punch man, Tokyo ghoul) and can even access light novels of certain series. Being able to read the newest manga in shonen jump is another huge game changer that really makes you feel like you’re experiencing new chapters and series with Japanese readers. The app is amazing but I would love if they added some extra features. For ongoing series it would be super convenient to have the option to get a notification when the newest series come on. It would also be nice to have the ability to bookmark series you’re interested in or series you’re reading. Something like that would let people visualize the manga they’ve read or tried. This app bangs

Personally I love this app! I read a lot of shonen manga, so this helps me to find the stuff I want to read! I don't have money to get the premium thing or whatever it's called but there's still a good selection of manga to choose from. However, I do kind of wish it was all free with adds and paying customers got no adds, I think this would be a great addition! But even if they don't change the app to do that that's ok! Also, (Don't quote me on this) I think you can buy individual volumes and chapters so if you wanted to read say, all the manga of DIU of JoJo's and you didn't want to pay for the premium thing I think you would be able to do that, so that's cool! But even though I can't pay, I can read a little bit of a series i think I might like and then buy the manga later! So get this app it's good! 👌 (P.S. some recommendations for shonen manga would be 'Jojo's Bizzare Adventure' and 'My Hero Academia') But anyway byeeee~~~~

I can remember back in middle school (around 14-15 years ago) always begging my mom to buy me Shonen Jump magazine at the grocery store whenever we went. At first, I just wanted the Yu-Gi-Oh cards in the back, but as I learned to read the comics from right to left, I realized what incredible stories I was reading. One Piece, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh, Hikaru No Go. I looked forward to these stories every time we went to the grocery store. I would carry every grocery bag, ONE TRIP, just to get my hands on this magazine. After a time I stopped reading, got into sports, went to high school, then college, and recently had learned that Shonen Jump magazine had been discontinued. There was a small void in my heart where the joyful childhood memory of Shonen Jump had lived. My buddy told me there was an App that held the catalogue and you could read most chapters for $1.99 a month. Here we are, a few months later and I’ve re-become addicted to reading some of the best manga the west has access to. I feel like a “young man” again. Thank you Shonen Jump! Actual feedback: (Anyways, please add a category to see all Manga in alphabetical on the app, and a category to see all finished manga as well, I love the new stories but sometimes I just want to binge a whole finished series in a weekend. I did this with Demon Slayer last week and now I feel compelled to write a 5 star review.)

If you’re just trying to catch up on one of your favorite JUMP series this app is fine. The membership cost is perfect for what they offer. I only really wanted to catch up on My Hero, Black Clover, and Dragonball Super when I downloaded the app. There’s was also incentive to actually support my beloved series through a legit app. The only issues I have with this app is the poor selection. You’re telling me I can read some manga I’ve never heard about before, but I can’t read Yu Yu Hakusho in its entirety? What if I wanted to read all of the JoJo manga? Can’t do that either. If feel as if there’s a membership waiting to be introduced later down the line with much more content. JUMP could profit much more with this app if they tried to add much more to read. I’m sure Berserk isn’t possible given the licenses, but I’m sure Gintama would work perfectly. There are other apps what offer more for free.

First of all, if you keep up with many manga series currently running in Shonen Jump or published by viz, this app is worth a download even without the $1.99 paid subscription because the newest chapter of your favorite manga is released for free (with official translation) on this app every week! However, the value that is gained through the Shonen Jump $1.99 subscription almost makes it feel like stealing. You get access to every chapter of nearly every series SJ has to offer. Plus you can download and save up 100 chapters on your phone to be read offline. My only critique would be that certain series have gaps in the chapters available currently, but I can also see that these chapters are filled in at a fairly regular interval so I just have to be patient. All in all I like using this app, and I’ve found a lot of value in being a subscriber since the service’s release.

This app is great especially with there new features with simulcast and free chapters. I personally joined there subscription service which is pretty good for only $2 I can download the manga chapters but it Max’s at 100 chapters total of all the mangas. They have a great selection but there are a few missing. My only dilemma is that there’s now way to add manga you want to read to some sort of list and there’s no obvious sign of what chapters you’ve already read so you can find yourself checking around some chapters to try and figure out where you left off something as simple as graying out the chapters you’ve read or were reading would help a lot. Also the app can crash sometimes if I close my phone then unlock and try to keep reading which leads to the problem I mentioned earlier of trying to remember where your left off

I want to start by saying that the Shonen Jump sub is a fantastic service for the price and the iPhone app is clearly the best way to use the service. I love how readable pages are (especially single pages on portrait mode) and how overall usable the app is going between pages and chapters and I really love how good the app is at tracking my overall progress. There is a very noticeable issue though: the newer iPhones have the Dynamic Island on top of the screen, and the app doesn’t stop it from overlapping over pages, covering parts of the page. This is especially bad when trying to zoom in on double pages in horizontal mode, which is needed to read double-page spreads in manga like One Piece. I also know that the Manga Plus app doesn’t have this problem. This is a big problem that gets in the way of my reading Jump and I’d greatly appreciate this being fixed ASAP!

Being able to catch up on the backlog of one piece and Naruto for this cheap is a great value and a perfect way to experience the series without resorting to piracy or spending hundreds on the paperbacks. However, there are multiple shortcomings in this app: * I’ve had multiple instances where I lost my ability to read the digital vault issues until I closed and restarted the app. * selecting the read next chapter option on the last page of a chapter, the next chapter will load at the last page, forcing me to scroll back to the first page before I start reading * the app doesn’t remember the last chapter you read unless you’ve downloaded it, so if you come back after a bit and forget which chapter you were on, you have to guess which one to read next

This is great for fans of shonen jump anime to catch up on what happens after they finish the anime and continue it in the manga 1.99 for 10,000+ manga is a steal only issue is it’s hard to find the manga you are looking for there’s no genres section if you wanna read a specific genre that’s why I’ve given it 4 stars please add a way to find specific manga of a certain genre easier overall I love this app it’s great for anime and manga fans who love the genre of shonen. Add that one little thing I requested and this app is great I give it 4 out of 5 stars for the great deal price and lots of content. Also if you can’t even afford 2 dollars of manga monthly then you need a job I seen some people complaining about having to pay but that’s just how manga works the editors and shonen team need money to fund these artists and add their manga in shonen jump so help out and pay the fee it’s worth it trust me.

For starters, on value alone the $1.99 price tag is insanely reasonable and an incredibly high value for your money. A new manga fan couldn’t even hope to go through the catalogue in the foreseeable future. The vault is massive and amazing. Sure definitely missing some mainstays (HxH, Tokyo Ghoul, JoJo, etc) but what is there is comprehensive and somewhat overwhelming. Secondly the fact that all current manga chapters are free is an absolutely incredible ploy to keep the piracy crowd away from illegal sites. It’s honestly incredible that this was even able to be pulled off. Western comic book companies need to take notes. Print is dead (at least in its serialized format). People are still willing to buy trade paperbacks or in mangas case “volumes”, but the idea of shelling out 2-4 bucks an issue is in the past and the past is dead. DC and Marvel are gonna need to start playing catch up.

The Shonen Jump app is a spectacular way to read manga, be it catching up with, revisiting, or discovering manga! The subscription service itself is certainly worth it; at $1.99 a month, who wouldn’t want to get in on this? You get to support the manga and read the manga you love! My suggestion for the app itself would be this. It can be a hassle to search for the manga that readers want to follow, and if the app offered a sort of “Favorite this Manga” or a “Bookmark” option for easy access to the manga readers want to follow, that would really help. Overall, this is a great way to read manga! As iterated earlier, you can support manga and read whatever you want. And while the app is young, I can see that the app is going to be something special. Catch up, revisit, and discover manga with the Shonen Jump app!

I wasn’t much of a manga reader, always preferred just watching the anime adaptations but this app has turned me into actually preferring to read the manga than watch the anime. It is fantastic and convenient if not a bit buggy when flipping between apps or closing to write a text and then coming back. I always have to close the app and then start it up again but that is just a small small small inconvenience for this fantastic app. Another issue comes when you check out a new manga but decide not to continue reading it. It will forever be in your continue reading list despite not opening the manga for months. This deters me from trying out new manga because I know that once I start one it will always be stuck on my opening page asking me to continue reading it.

Dollar for dollar, this is the best deal in comics. Great content. Great value. SUPPORT MANGA ARTISTS. I love this service. That being said, there are some problems with the rollout of the new version. It will flash a loading screen and then just a black screen until I reboot the app. If I try to back out from the black screen, it won’t load any chapters. The app would also greatly benefit from a bookmark feature. If they are encouraging me to read through One Piece or Naruto, which are hundreds of chapters long, they need something to help me remember where I left off. Also, a favorites function would help out a lot as well. So that way I can subscribe to my favorite manga and get notifications when they update. I’m confident they will come out with features that will make this app even better. This new version of the service just came out, so I expect more tweaks and upgrades in the new year.

As a 6th and 7th Grader (going into middle school in a few months) I absolutely adore this app. The fact that Shonen Jump owns so many mangas it’s honestly like having a public library of manga on my PHONE. It couldn’t be any better. I personally only really read in my free time and being able to switch and read as much as possible for $3.99 A MONTH. It also makes the new chapters free! With how many different mangas I read and not having to go to the library or buy it physically is a dream. I DEEPLY recommend this app for people who normally read manga or don’t want a massive manga collection. The onnnnnly teenie tiny downside is how you read by chapters and not mangas. The book itself you have to buy. They are significantly cheaper than buying it physically but you can track what manga you’re on.

I am a firm, and I mean FIRM, fan of manga. So are a lot of my friends. However, I know this will sound somewhat stupid, but I don’t believe you should have to have a subscription to enjoy the things you love. Maybe the site could try a technique like that of Webtoon. Make some chapters available for anyone to read after they’ve been out for a certain amount of time, like a week or two. Because, me personally, I hate skipping chapters. It doesn’t really make sense to me to have the newest chapters available to read and not the old ones. That just causes a lot of confusion for people like me. I’m also saying this because I have not yet been able to set up an Apple Pay account or something like that. Thank you for reading and considering this review.

I’m not really one for ebooks. I really enjoy physical books! However it’s not super cheap or easy to get physical manga where I live so this is really nice! They have free chapters every once in awhile, you can buy volumes for a decent price, and I believe there’s also a subscription service you can try! I’ve been reading dr. stone because I love it (senku is the best boi!) and I also started reading Astroboys. I don’t have much to say on the mechanics of the app, and I’m sure anyone looking for manga has heard of Shonen before anyway, they’re quite reputable. I’m sure you’ll find something you like try it out! You can read the mangas of you’re favorite anime and find ones you haven’t heard of before! The ones I’ve read were in English, so I’m not sure if they have the original Japanese version or other languages or not.

The interface is amazingly clean and easy to use. They let you read up to chapter three and most recent chapters of every manga on the app for completely free. The subscription fee is only $1.99 a month which is incredibly cheap for the amount of content you get. For the $1.99 a month you spend you can read literally any series and any chapter n the site including the most recent chapters released! Volumes cost more than double that for a single volume, but for $1.99 a month you can read 100’s to thousands of volumes. It almost seems unfair for them to give us all of that for such a small cost. My favorite app in the App Store I’d give it 10 stars if I could. P.S. The app DOES tell you what chapter you left off on when you select a manga. Those reviews are either old or they didn’t notice?

I usually don’t write reviews for apps, but I feel like it might be worth it to write one for this app. I’ve been reading manga and Shonen Jump since 2005 when I was a kid. I’ve LOVED it. When I heard the announcement about the new WSJ subscription service, I was excited and subscribed right away. However, there are some improvements that could be added to the app itself. For instance, could there be a way to show what chapters you’ve already read? Every time I step away from the app, I forget what chapter I left off on and have to search around to figure it out. Also, if there was a way to make a favorites list for easy access for members, that would be cool too. If WSJ could add features like that, this would definitely be a 5 star app, but until then, it’s a decent 4 star from me.

I always wanted to get into reading manga but the overhead of buying books scared me. As an anime fan I knew I would love them but didn’t know if I had the funds or the space. With the low cost subscription I have been able to read forward into my favorite anime’s (jujitsu, one punch, neverland) and discover new favorites (chainsawman is my new favorite and I can’t wait to see it animated)! The only request I have is either for a more expensive subscription tier so that I can either access more chapters per day or even pay a small fee (like $1) for more chapters for the day. I get that it ensures a longer subscription time and may fight against piracy but I want to binge! Thank you for the consideration and continue to make this an amazing experience

I’ve had this app for almost two years now and haven’t done a review until now because I’m lazy. Anyway, if you like reading One Piece, My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter (sometimes), One-Punch Man, and more great serials the day they come out in Japan, it’s best that you get this. These issues are super affordable individually (just one buck, cheaper than a McDonald’s order), and there’s a bigger deal when you buy annually. Don’t be like the bad group of people that deliberately STEAL from the manga authors on Thursdays and complain that they don’t want to pay for something they can read for free on malware sites. The truth is, paying for these issues is the only way to show support for your favorite manga. The developers did a great job making a high-quality app that should not be overlooked by any shonen manga enthusiast.

I love Shonen jump. It doesn’t have every single manga but it has tons of variety of genres you can choose from and a lot are top tier new and old gen manga from example Naruto, Death note, and one piece then for new gen would be like Jujutsuv Kaisen, Chainsaw man, attack on titan, DandaDan, and black clover. Anyways, Shonen jump has been my life for the past 3 years and it has helped me grow into the person I am, it saved my life. All the mangas and stories and positivity. The communities I’ve been invited into type friends I’ve made.. I’ve been welcomed into a while new world and my introduction to this world is from manga. I’ve been visiting Shonen jump every Sunday for new chapter drops for the last 3-4 years and I haven’t missed a single chapter. I love Shonen jump.

So first off. I love almost everything about this app. Cost effective entertainment and a pretty wonderful selection to boot. Honestly the only thing more I really want out of this app if not simply more manga... is a Netflix style queue for everything I’m currently reading. I don’t have the time to read everything I have on my download list before it times out and disappears. Then I have to search or find it in the browse section again. Which really isn’t the biggest deal. However if I had a tab that brought me to my immediate list of favorite manga. That would have put that fifth and final star on there for me. Wonderful app for reading manga otherwise. That’s a small nitpick that I really hope gets updated at some point!

Plenty of content for anyone! Obviously has all the big name mangas, as well as obscure stuff too. Man, I remember the old days getting the physical magazines in the mail. As a kid that was like my excitement for the weekend. The biggest issue I have with the app is the 100 chapter limit. I really think there should be a second level to the membership or something. From other reviews I’ve seen it seems like some are in the same boat as me. I would easily pay 10x their current asking price to just be able to read as much whenever I like. You find yourself getting deep into a story, and then suddenly get sucked out because they arbitrarily chose 100 chapters as enough to read in a day. Honestly got this app because I was tired of searching the internet for free scans, which are usually not as high quality as this offers. Just leaves me to look again after hitting the limit.... I’d gladly give this app a 5 star if there were more options around that. It just doesn’t make sense to me that they would limit people that hard. 100 chapters isn’t really that much if you read fast, or just want to go through a manga for another read. Overall, great app. Works well and tack on the library and you have serious potential.

I love everything about it, but I hate that there’s a limit even with a membership. I’m you’re only allowed to read 100 chapters a day

Great app for reading old manga and beginning new ones. Highly recommend

This app is incredible it releases chapters faster than any other site I’ve ever seen

This app is good for only 2.79 plus tax it’s 3.15. I suggest you buy it if you want to read the mangas that they have if your in America it’s only 2$ which is good. It would have been better if they had all genres instead of just shonen but it’s Alr. I suggest you download this app it’s pretty damn decent

I love that I can support some of my favourite artist and their works, but why does there have to be a 100 chapter limit? I was reading late last night and I started reading this morning and got limit capped

Love everything including sub price BUT really wish it had genre tags and a reading list feature.

Very good for manga and cheap to.

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD BRO i swear this stupid app named emaqi is in the dust just fabulous omg

They don’t have toilet bound hanako kun😭😭😭😭

Cannot purchase a subscription and thus cannot read any manga.

This app is insane. You can read manga for hours and there’s so many different stories. I suggest that every anime fan downloads this app right now

So cheap for what you get. I love this app.

Pretty good but when say free they for most of them mean like three chapters but outside that the price is reasonable there not really any hidden fees or add ones and the downloading is good so if you got the Monday I recommend

This app is great I have found both my old favourites and some new ones to al so much cheaper then buying the paper copies 10/10 highly recommended

This app is amazing fantastic I get manga chapters so fast faster than any other website or app and to read anything u want for just 5 bucks is a great deal I’m having a great time reading manga cause of this app 10/10 it’s great I’m really enjoying the dbs manga right now I even use this app when using a number 2 and this app saves corentine

Easy to use, convenient, and a good selection and you can’t beat the price.

Seriously, no delete all downloads button? Lmao

You know one piece is the best manga/anime of all time

Apps great until I want to read any mature manga like fire punch for example. Can we not confirm age on the app to bypass this?

The best

I really like how this works and there are a ton of manga books but the thing that's annoying is that you have to pay to read most of the chapters :).

Missing some mangas like tensura(that time i got reancarnated as a slime)

So good! I wish more chapters were free tho- Still great!

Sorachi

Never had an issue. Love it

It’s safe and fun

If you enjoy reading manga this app is a one stop shop. Massive catalog of manga, many of which are offered for free. Very reasonable subscription price that gives you access to EVERYTHING. Truly a great app!

Great app, and i’m reading tokyo ghoul rn. but, there is one thing that needs to be fixed. when you use the scrollbar to navigate pages in a chapter, there is a little bubble that says “page 1, page 2 etc.” however, when you stop scrolling the bubble remains at the bottom of the screen, and doesn’t go away even when you go to the next chapter. the only way to get rid of it is to close the reading window and then reopen it, and then manually flip to the oage you left off on, which feels really janky. please fix it.

But it can improve in its ui and give other options of scrolling, and just swipe to a new chapter without clicking all the time.

I’d give it 5 stars but it doesn’t have some manga, regardless it’s a really good and convenient app. Not crazy expensive imo but that’s different for every one of course. Would be five stars if they added ippo.

This app has no ads no sign up and no viruses like mist manga website/apps i would recommend this!

Well when I first got this app I absolutely love it but u gotta pay 4.99 a month to read all the mangas and I rlly wished that they lowered the price a bit but it’s still fun to use

Its amazing but i wish u can read more then 100 chapters per day

If it let u read past chapters like Mangaplus it would be a 5 stars, but since it doesn’t it can’t be anything more than 4

This app is very good it has lots of books to keep me reading all night long, though I do admit it costs money but its cheap and if you don’t want to buy anything then theres still free chapters that come out that you can read for free. You can also read the first 100 chapters of One Piece for FREE!!!

I loved this app and instead of paying thousands of dollars for manga, this app gives you every manga for only $5 per month I love it and I really recommend it if you like manga. Also Naruto is the best (in my opinion)

Shonen Jump has endless manga to choose from. JJK and One Piece have inspired me to be a mangaka someday…

It’s really good, I’d admit it fun to learn more anime other then Demon Slayer 😁

Add more mangas

I’ve been trying to read jjk for so long and I was trying to get the full books but they cost 459 dollars this is much better

The quality is really good and it’s as free but you need a subscription

I love this and ya

The content of this app is great, but it’s lacking so many basic UI features that hold it back. For one, if you’re reading in landscape mode at the end of the chapter it force rotates back to portrait to hit the next chapter button. After hitting the next chapter button you have to physically rotate back to portrait and then back to landscape to go back into reading it 2 pages at a time. Additionally, the next chapter button gets really annoying when you’re binging a series. Why can’t it just flow into the next chapter or auto go to the next chapter if you swipe while on the last page? It gets frustrating having to click the next chapter button especially on larger phones. Lastly, the 100 chapter limit for downloaded manga is fine, but it would be nice to have a “bulk delete” or an option to automatically remove a download after reading it. As is I have to click on each check mark and click confirm for every single chapter I want to remove to make room for new chapters. If those features aren’t available then maybe at least allowing the user to change the 7 day time period to be less time would be helpful as a sort of work around to bulk deleting downloaded manga. Additionally, the website allows for following manga but the app has no place to show which manga you follow. Why is that? Overall I think this app has potential and I will keep using it because the content is good. But the UX could be significantly better. Hence 3/5

Subscription price is reasonable. Very disappointed to be unable to read M-Rated series in app. The web version for M-Rated series is separate and feels much different to use than the app. This defeats the purpose of having a wide library in order to read all of your manga in one place. On top of that, options for browsing are quite limited, no filtering by genre or anything like that except for the few limited categories you see on the front page, so hopefully you already know what you want to read, or at least have somewhere else to find out. The interface doesn’t feel great to use, and switching between chapters feels clunky, ESPECIALLY when going to a previous chapter. Besides that, the selection of manga is pretty good and the translations/extra info on japanese words and culture relevant to the story are good, but scarce. Fan translations tend to include much more and go above and beyond, whereas here it feels like bare minimum. Phones are not an ideal screen to use this app. When reading on most normal size phones, either you can see 1 page at a time and get split images and info, or you can turn it sideways and see both pages, but be unable to read or make out any details. The zoom feature is also too dysfunctional in order to help you out here. Tablets will work better: This is an alright choice in between pirating your manga and purchasing physical copies.

If you love manga and want to support mangaka by reading officially, this app is great. It contains the best of shonen along with some other titles in Viz’s catalogue. The price is the best part as a subscription is pretty cheap. The flaws come down to the app itself. In ways it is very barebones. Granted it runs smoothly and accomplishes the bare minimum but fails to go beyond that. One of my biggest issues is the fact that the app does not sync the chapters you are on or have already read across all your devices. Meaning if you started to read a series on your phone but wanted to continue on your tablet or laptop, it would only save on your phone even if you are logged into your account on all devices. In terms of the catalogue itself, some manga are restricted to the desktop version (the viz website). These being the more mature titles. It’s a strange decision and I would prefer every series be accessible through the app, and maybe just have an age verification if that’s the problem? That’s about it. It’s good value but don’t expect much from the interfaces and such. It really just is an app that is only slightly better than your run of the mill pirated manga app. (But official). Little changes have been made since the apps debut and I would like to see far more.

I want to start this off by saying I love the new subscription service. It’s nice that I can support the creators of some of my favorite manga series; however, the app lacks a couple of vital features. The first feature missing is an indicator on where you left off in any given series. This is practically a must have in an app that contains multiple series with hundreds of chapters. The second feature missing is a “favorites” or “following” section. The only thing keeping me from having to re-search for all of the manga I want to read is whether I have it purchased or downloaded, but what if I’m not able/don’t remember to get on within seven days and download another chapter? All of my downloads will be automatically removed, and I will instantly lose track of everything I was reading. This is also a big inconvenience for those who don’t want to download anything, as they will have to search for the manga they want to read each time they open the app. Again, I love the fact that I can easily support creators for their hard work, but the features missing here are pretty much standard for other manga apps. In terms of organization, SJ’s only redeeming feature is it has a search bar...

There’s no arguing that the amount of manga on offer her for $2 a month is a great value, and goes a long way to putting the putting the “pirate” sites out of business. That said, the reader software is incredibly lacking in features that are commonplace on the other “pirate” manga readers. The biggest fault is ZERO amount of tracking as to where you have left off on a chapter/series that you’ve been reading. Every time you open the app, you have to remember where you stopped. This isn’t a huge deal if you are only reading one series at a time, but with multiples? Forget it. There should definitely be a HISTORY tab on the bottom of the main menu screen. In addition, there should be CLOUD SAVES as to which series/chapters I’ve read, so that I can seamlessly switch between reading on phone and iPad. That aside, I would love for there to be a similar service available for SEINEN manga targeted at older readers, but I know that has nothing to do with this service and this particular app. With a few reader-friendly additions to the app here, I think it could definitely be bumped up to 5 stars.

I like that the app is official and all on my phone shortly after chapters release. However, it’s lacking key features that would make this worth not just reading online. For one, there is no continuous scrolling. The current method of swiping through pages is terrible. Also, when in landscape the app shows two pages at a time instead of making the page bigger, and there’s no option to show one page at a time instead. The pages are too small in portrait and landscape only makes it smaller. And when you try to zoom in it often turns the page. Then when you do turn the page you need to zoom in again. That is another disadvantage of not having continuous scrolling. Honestly, the annoyance of reading the tiny text with clunky zooming and no continuous scrolling actually makes this app less convenient than just closing ads on a illegal cite. Barely worth the money. I will change my review when those features are added.

The new model for Shonen Jump is exactly what I’d been hoping for a company to do for years; create a affordable, convenient alternative to the shadier online manga sites. Unfortunately, while the 2 bucks a month model they’ve set up is very reasonable considering all the content available, it’s iOS apps on iPhone and iPad are both fairly buggy. First off, I had problems originally with loading pages from a new chapter, and would have to scroll through a few black pages before getting the pages to load. I’d then try downloading the pages to see if that would fix the problem. It did, but instead of loading problems, downloaded chapters would have problems with pages from previous chapters replacing the correct pages in the current chapter. And in a baffling oversight, you can’t manually delete downloaded chapters, and instead must wait until they’re automatically removed after 7 days. Viz has a great model here, but a disappointing product.

Sub price is very reasonable, even if you’re only a fan of a few Shonen, like myself. However, the app itself still needs a lot of work. When you reach the end of a chapter, the read next chapter button doesn’t work 90% of the time. Same with selecting a chapter from the chapter select page. Only fix I’ve found is to minimize or close the app and try again until it works. Also, why no keyboard support? Using the arrow keys to flip pages works on everything other e-reader app, including the open source manga readers. Not a dealer breaker, but wild to consider that this app is still missing basic features after years of updates. If you wanna read from the Shonen jump library legally without buying every volume, this is the most convenient, cost effective way to do it. The app itself will probably end up costing you extra patience though.

I’ve subscribed for just over 5 years at this point. I love the magazine, and as sad as I was to see it go having access to all of the Viz catalogue is amazing. Well, it would be, except that this app has no way to track the manga you’re reading. With hundreds in the library, every time you want to read one you have to hunt it down in your list and search for the last chapter you read (nothing like “currently reading”). Downloads are removed every seven days, without any trace, so if you recently started a new manga and can’t remember the name, tough luck. There’s no way to see what chapters you recently read or recently downloaded. It even removed the ability to track which WSJ you read most recently, like the old app did. Ultimately, it requires that you use a second app to track the manga you’re reading and what chapter you’re on, which is frustrating and pretty unacceptable when I’m paying monthly for this one already.

The content offered by this app is great - there's a wonderful selection and the cost of membership is more than worth it. The app, however, leaves a lot to be desired. It's incredibly laggy and frustrating to use, and the transition between chapters is unbearably slow. Every single new chapter takes up to a minute to load before I can even begin to swipe through the pages. It's also pretty annoying that you have to click on the chapter number to start it, not sure why it wouldn't just automatically load the next chapter as you're reading. Love the catalogue and it's very much recommended, but I would love to see the app improve because it's honestly just too frustrating to use it for too long and read entire series or multiple chapters. Would definitely use it more often if these issues were fixed.

You need to pay for almost all chapters you should have a toggle-able option that makes you watch like three ads for each premium chapter

You can pay your monthly fee and only have access to 100 chapters a day! well, what if i feel like reading more? who are you to stop me?

This app lets you read 15 pages of the last the volumes the rest you have pay to the rest of the book I don’t see the point of making an ad saying read manga for free if you are just gonna make people pay for it 🤬😤😡

Some manga, such as Hunter x Hunter, costs extra money ($9.99 per volume) which is a little sad. Also, there really should be a feature so that you can remove manga from the “continue reading” section, because any ongoing manga I start and don’t like are now there forever, mixed in with the ones I actually enjoy. It would also be much better with genre tags. But it’s a good app, and a decent price. I do enjoy it!

Only a few things are free to read. 1 chapter: 10 dollars. 1 volume:10 dollars. At least make most ACTUAL WHOLE SERIES FREE, and good ones at that. Make it so that when you pay, you can pay for the whole series at a reasonably low price. I expected better from the actual Shonen Jump app. Absolutely, utterly, disappointed. What have you been doing, woolgathering!? 0 stars if I could.

After Version 5.2 the app crashes on startup. Not cool.

It’s a great manga app! Although the downsides are I can’t read most of the chapters cause of the membership. It’s a great app but I wish they didn’t have this feature….

I just got I and I want to read demon slayer so bad but I can’t read it because I have to join the app it makes me feel so sad I love demon slayer and I can’t even read my hero academia like this isn’t funny anymore I am so mad and sad but it is ok just fix it I NEED to read demon slayer and my hero academia.-lily
