Overview

Manga Planet is a convenient and straightforward online service for officially licensed digital Japanese manga.

There are three ways to access Manga Planet’s library of Japanese manga:

• Read Free: Free previews of selected chapters
• Individual Purchases: Reading with points
• Manga Planet Pass: a cost-effective, value-added way to enjoy what Manga Planet has to offer

Available options for a title depend on the contract with the publisher. For example, some titles are covered by the Manga Planet Pass, but they can also be purchased or rented individually. Meanwhile, other titles may be exclusively accessible via individual purchase.

Read Free

We allow users to preview titles in our library by making the first chapter — or even beyond, for selected titles — available for free. Through free previews, you can get a feel of not only what a title is like, but also whether Manga Planet’s line-up is for you.
(Please note that, depending on the contract with the publisher, previews may be unavailable for some titles.)

Individual Purchases (Read with Points)

The individual-purchase model is recommended for users looking only for specific titles. For a reasonable price, you can digitally rent chapters or volumes for a specific period of time, or digitally purchase to access them for an unrestricted period of time.

Manga Planet Pass

The Manga Planet Pass gives you access to a vast selection* of manga for a fixed price. Choose from five different plans according to your budget and lifestyle: 1 Week, 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, and 12 Months. We recommend the Manga Planet Pass for those who read a lot of manga, as it offers good value for money.

*The Manga Planet Pass does not cover all titles in our catalogue.

A Legal Online Manga Service

All content on Manga Planet is officially licensed in agreement with publishers and artists. Thus, reading manga on Manga Planet, as opposed to reading scanlations and pirated manga, compensates creators and publishers, which in turn contributes to bringing more official releases of manga outside Japan.

Read on Any Device

Readers can access Manga Planet on any web browser via computers, smartphones, or tablets without needing to download an app. Additionally, the manga in our catalog is not reviewed or influenced by third parties such as Google and Apple, so we are able to select and release titles freely.

Read Official English Releases Straight from Japan

Manga Planet releases many titles that can be found exclusively on our service. While the term “self-published” often makes people think of fan-made and/or amateur works, this is not necessarily the case in Japan. There’s so much original content that self-published works are a genre of their own. Thus, we also release outstanding works by independent artists who do not receive many opportunities to have their works officially translated.
