Viz ends Digital Shonen Jump, new chapters of My Hero Academia and more to be free (Now live!)
- Thread starter Bigkrev
- Start date
Yea it really picks up once the main character starts finding other people. Since outside of the main character himself. All of the people he hangs out with for the first dozen chapters are pretty boring. Have fun reading Bakuman though! remember liking it quite a bit when it was coming out weekly. Still think the pot shots it would take at some WSJ series and editors is hysterical.
Ayy if you decide to give One Piece a whirl like you want to. Feel free to stop by the One Piece OT. We are always happy to read new comers impressions haha.
Dr. Stone has really good character art but some lacking environmental art. Though I can't emphasis how good the character art is at times. It's also got some great landscape pages that really help set the tone of the comic and will leave you seriously impressed.
For $1.99 a month I'd be crazy not to jump in. I seriously wanna binge read Dragon Ball right now.
I'm looking at the Viz Manga app on my kindle right now, and you can just use that
I updated the Shonen Jump app through Google Play and used my Google Rewards to pay for the subscription. The sub doesn't actually start until the 24th as there's a free 7 day trial.
I think Doctor Stone has great art, but you got to have a taste for the style.
Ah I assumed this would have all the stuff that Viz ever translated, but I see it's missing tons of the older stuff that is pre-digital
Are they going to go back and add those or is this it?
Would also be cool if they finished some of the series that got cancelled back then like GIntama and Zatch Bell.

either one is fine, though the viz app gives you access to more than just the shonen jump manga.
If you are on the website its having trouble keeping people signed in right now. Probably cause tons of users are signing in to check out the service. Just wait a bit and it should sort itself out soon.
Some series are missing, it is clear that they will be adding series and content over time. I dont think anyone expected everything to be available on day1.
Can i download these and read offline? I'd like to read some manga while at work on break but I don't get shit for signal in the building.
It's a jump start manga from a couple years ago that flopped pretty hard and got cancelled after a few chapters
I recommend Dr Stone, Black Clover, My Hero Academia and One Piece. Absolutely love the art from all for of those for various reasons.
Of the series with no gaps, BLack Clover, Promised Neverland, neo;lation
Of the series with gaps, Jujutsu Kaisen,
The better question is why not just put the whole series on the app? It's not like they didn't translate it.
Also the new series hell warden is pretty solid worth checking out
This is fantastic! I'll probably sub when I get back to the states. Now I just wish Shonen Jump owned D-Frag, I would pay so much to have that series forever translated on time.
So you have to download chapters individually then? You can't just download in volume chunks? If that's the case that's a bit annoying.
you can always *buy* the volume digitally at your convenience.
Wonder why the website was taken to maintenance mode. App still works. I wish I didnt have to download some series, but sometimes the online version chapter doesnt load every page.
Website was having issues for me loading pages, so maybe that's why?
I tried reading Bakuman and Black Cat on the app, but there's quite a few missing pages from the first chapters. Hopefully that'll get fixed quickly.
I'm really excited about revisiting these series. I was hoping Eyeshield 21 would be there, I haven't read it yet.

Obviously can't speak for you individually but there are still positives to the digital volumes going forward, such as off the top of my head:
-Volume versions are the final, definitive versions of chapters. The art can often be touched up on those versions. And for the English release, more time is spent on having English sound effects.
-The image quality is noticeably higher.
-Volume extras like bonus art, character descriptions, etc.
-No limit on what you can read/download in a set period. No need to keep paying a subscription.
And of course, it's just an additional way to "support" a series one likes. But again, the level to which anyone may care about any of those things obviously varies.
It's a fun, chill series.
Are they missing when your download the chapters, versus just reading the online version?
Oh, good point! It was from the online version. When I downloaded it, I got all of the pages.
Ah, that's interesting. Didn't think of the service as regional since I remember buying Kindle books from Amazon.com.
Several pages are missing in chapters 1 & 2 of One Piece. Some of the best panels in fact. Rather unfortunate, I wonder what the problem is.
As I wrote this I went back to check just in case and they were there! Server must be catching up since it's rolling out. The missing pages literally just had red text that read "Missing Image." I guess we have to give it some time.

Just got myself subbed up! Haven't read SJ for so many years... I used to pick up the magazines for a few years, until it just became too much to physically have on-hand and just bought volumes of a few series.
Time to start reading some series that are too long for me to buy volumes of/series that I want to read through once and that's it. :)

I wouldnt trust any of the people that say its because they arent weekly, when that couldnt be any further from the truth. Numerous JUMP SQ manga are listed and get simulpubbed and those are monthly, the yugiohs are also monthly, boruto is also monthly, so...
JoJo is probably later down the line when they get more stuff translated. For HxH it could be that they couldn't get the rights for Togashi's work since he owns them himself.
Yup.
Any theories on your end? You've said they may not be done adding series, but why leave one as big as HxH for later? It can't really be a frequency of release thing because, again, D.Gray-man.
Yeah, the only thing I can think of. Which will be unfortunate if so.
