In recent years, digital comics subscription services have transformed the reading landscape, providing avid readers with economical access to diverse titles. Notably, platforms like Marvel Unlimited and DC Universe Infinite have led the charge for superhero comic enthusiasts. Now, manga fans will have a new avenue to explore with the upcoming launch of Crunchyroll Manga.
Crunchyroll Manga represents a significant premium addition to the Crunchyroll streaming service. This dedicated platform will host a plethora of titles from renowned publishers, including AlphaPolis, COMPASS, Square Enix, VIZ Media, and Yen Press.

The service is underpinned by the expertise of the Japanese manga developer Link-U Group. The iOS and Android applications are set to launch in the U.S. and Canada on October 9, 2025, with the web version following on October 15, 2025.
Crunchyroll is highlighting a selection of notable manga titles that will be part of the service, which includes:
- **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**

Asa Suehira, Chief Content Officer at Crunchyroll, stated, “Anime and manga have always been two sides of the same coin, and Crunchyroll is uniquely positioned to bring them together for fans everywhere. With this launch, we’re not just creating another reading app; we’re expanding the ultimate anime lifestyle experience, uniting stories on the screen with those on the page.”
To access Crunchyroll Manga, users will need an active Crunchyroll subscription. The total monthly fee for a Crunchyroll Fan subscription will be $11.99 USD / $15.49 CAD, while a Crunchyroll Mega Fan subscription will total $15.49 USD / $17.49 CAD.
