Crunchyroll Manga App Launches with One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and More

Crunchyroll is stepping into new territory this October with the launch of its own manga app. Starting October 9, Crunchyroll Manga will roll out on iOS and Android in the United States and Canada, giving fans another way to dive deeper into their favorite stories.

Unlike the streaming app, this will be a separate app built by Link-U Group, a company in Japan already known for developing digital manga services. From the start, it promises a pretty stacked lineup: One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Dress-Up Darling, The Summer Hikaru Died, Delicious in Dungeon, Lycoris Recoil, and even Daemons of the Shadow Realm are just a few of the launch titles. Publishers on board include heavy hitters like VIZ Media, Yen Press, Square Enix, and AlphaPolis. Shueisha and J-Novel Club will also be added later.

So what’s the catch? It’s tied to your Crunchyroll subscription. If you’re an Ultimate Fan subscriber ($15.99/month), the manga library comes at no extra cost. For everyone else, it’s an add-on:

  • Fan + Manga – $11.99/month (U.S.) / $15.49 (CAD)
  • Mega Fan + Manga – $15.49/month (U.S.) / $17.49 (CAD)

No matter which tier, the app will be ad-free, allow chapter downloads for offline reading, and give you both light and dark mode. You’ll also be able to keep a personalized reading list—so no more juggling multiple tabs to track your favorites.

The web reader will come slightly later, launching October 15. For those headed to New York Comic-Con, Crunchyroll is putting the new manga platform on full display at Booth #1643, complete with demos and panels.

My take? This feels like Crunchyroll finally catching up to what manga fans have wanted for years: a legal, centralized app with a wide selection of titles. Sure, the subscription model might make some hesitate (especially if you’re already paying for other manga apps), but if the library expands steadily, this could become a serious hub for both casual readers and diehards. It’s also funny that anime fans have begged Crunchyroll for better subtitles and servers for years, and instead, we’re getting… manga. Not complaining, just pointing it out.
