Exciting news for manga enthusiasts! Crunchyroll has officially announced the launch of its brand-new premium add-on, Crunchyroll Manga. Set to debut on October 9th for iOS and Android devices across the United States and Canada, this new service aims to revolutionize how you read manga by making hundreds of titles from leading publishers more accessible than ever before.
Prepare for an immersive, ad-free reading experience featuring blockbuster hits from major publishers like AlphaPolis, COMPASS, Square Enix, VIZ Media, and Yen Press. Even more partners, including Shueisha and J-Novel Club, are slated to join soon. The launch lineup is impressive, boasting fan favorites such as *One Piece*, *Jujutsu Kaisen*, *Daemons of the Shadow Realm*, *My Dress-Up Darling*, *The Summer Hikaru Died*, *Lycoris Recoil*, *Delicious in Dungeon*, *Sasaki and Miyano*, *Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy*, *Maiden of the Dragon: Falling for the Demon’s Lies*, and many others, covering a vast array of genres.
It’s important to note that the Crunchyroll Manga app will operate independently of the main Crunchyroll streaming service. This dedicated app is powered by Link-U Group, a renowned digital manga service developer based in Japan, ensuring a top-tier reading experience.
For existing Crunchyroll Ultimate Fan subscribers, the Manga service will be included at no additional charge. Initially, the app will launch on iOS and Android, with a web reader becoming available shortly after on October 15th. For other subscription tiers, Crunchyroll Manga can be added on with flexible pricing options:
- Crunchyroll Fan + Manga: $11.99 USD / $15.49 CAD per month (Manga add-on priced at $4.00 USD / $5.50 CAD)

Regardless of your subscription tier, all Crunchyroll Manga users will enjoy unlimited, ad-free reading across both mobile and web platforms. Key features include the convenience of downloading chapters for offline viewing, customizable light and dark mode settings, and the power to curate your personalized reading list complete with tailored recommendations.
Right from launch day, you’ll gain access to hundreds of chapters from a vast collection of titles, with new chapters continually added as the library expands. Please keep in mind that the initial lineup of titles and services may be subject to slight adjustments.
