      OK, in that case I don’t think stuff from my post will be a problem - especially considering titles you mentioned (thanks for that btw, I’ll have more things to check out myself).

      I forgot to ask but what phone system are we talking about? I use Mihon with this extension file (basically, content sources), but it’s Android only.

      Most of the things I read aren’t licensed in English but the official apps I know about are:

      • Manga Plus
      • Viz
      • Shonen Jump (already mentioned)

      Can’t say too much about them unfortunately, as my main combo consists of Mihon + physical copies.

          I’ve seen a question about iOS apps some time ago and if I remember correctly there’s no great choice beyond the official apps. The poster asking last time ended up using Mangadex website as PWA (“installing” site as an app from the browser menu). Depending on where you are this could be an option, though I think Apple decided to screw with that functionality in EU recently.

            I’m actually in the USA, but I prefer to read and support the creators myself, or the library and/or bookstore in my opinion.

            Are you referring to just manga websites where you read manga on your computer instead?

              For licensed series, physical copies or official app will obviously be the most fair option to support the authors and I absolutely I agree it should be used when possible.

              Otherwise, websites yes - specifically Mangadex since it’s the most popular website of this kind. I suggested the PWA route (i.e. using “add to home screen” option in mobile browser) since that can be a simpler or preferred solution for some.
