Manga Plus (stylized as MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA) is an online manga platform and smartphone app owned by Shueisha that was launched on January 28, 2019. It is available worldwide except in Japan, China, and South Korea, which already have their own services, including Shōnen Jump+, the original Japanese service. Manga Plus publishes translated versions of new chapters from currently serialized manga in Weekly Shōnen Jump, a big portion of manga from the Shōnen Jump+ app/website, and some manga from Jump Square, Weekly Young Jump, Tonari no Young Jump, and V Jump. Since the beginning of the app in 2019, all new Shōnen Jump manga in the magazine are simultaneously released in English, while since January 2023 all of the new Shōnen Jump+ manga are simultaneously released in English and since October 9, 2025, every new manga series launched in Weekly Young Jump receives a simultaneous worldwide release on Manga Plus.
The first three chapters and the three most recent chapters of all titles on the platform are available free, while all titles from Shōnen Jump+ have all of their chapters for free, except in the United States where some are also limited to first and last three chapters, due to the licensing of some manga.
A Spanish version of the service launched in February 2019, and was followed by several other languages in the next five years.
A subscription service called "Manga Plus MAX" was added to the app in October 2023.
History Weekly Shōnen Jump reached a peak weekly circulation of 6.53 million copies in the 1990s, but the decline of print media has since been reducing readership. In response, publisher Shueisha turned towards digital distribution to attempt to reach out to a wider audience. Shuhei Hosono, the head editor for Shōnen Jump+ and Manga Plus, said that they were aware of the many manga readers overseas, and that they wanted to bring manga to more people around the world. They began talks about a possible global version of Shōnen Jump+ in 2017, and finally launched Manga Plus on January 28, 2019. The service was made available to every country except China, South Korea, and Japan, with the latter countries being excluded because they each already have their own separate services. The Shōnen Jump+ editorial department manages overseas distribution through Manga Plus in-house. Yūta Momiyama, a Shueisha editor who manages the Shōnen Jump+ and Manga Plus online services, said this is with the intent of making the creation of hit manga on a global scale "a core part of Weekly Shōnen Jumps editorial approach".
Until Manga Plus, Shueisha's titles were distributed throughout the world via local publishers or distribution lines. The launch was the first time that Shueisha had expanded direct service globally. 50 manga titles were available at launch. A portion of the revenue earned from advertisements goes directly to the original manga authors.
At launch, English was the only language available on Manga Plus. The Spanish version launched on February 25, 2019, albeit with a different lineup of manga titles. The Thai version launched in December 2019, only available in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. In February 2021, some titles became available in Indonesian. The Brazilian Portuguese version of the site launched in April 2021, only available in Brazil and Portugal. In August 2021, Manga Plus launched the Russian version and took away the region restrictions for all languages, making it possible to switch to other languages from the series page. The French version followed its launch in September 2021. In March 2024, some titles became available in German.
In October 2020, Manga Plus started its own official Discord server. In 2021, a redesigned web-app version of Manga Plus was announced to commemorate its second anniversary. At the end of June 2022, it was announced that starting in 2023, every new manga series launched on Shōnen Jump+ would receive a simultaneous English release on Manga Plus. In August 2022, Shueisha launched Manga Plus Creators, a website and app that publishes user-submitted manga inside and outside of Japan; the Shōnen Jump+ editorial department is running the service along with localization companies (including but not limited to MediBang).
In October 2023, a subscription service called "Manga Plus MAX" was added to the app. The service comes with two plans; The Standard Plan which consists of 80 currently serialized works totaling over 6000 chapters and costs $1.99 ($0.99 in Indonesia, India, the Philippines and other regions), and The Deluxe Plan which consists of over 190 titles, including completed series, totaling over 16,000 chapters and costs $4.99 ($3.99 in Indonesia, India, the Philippines and other regions). Alongside the new subscription plan, the website and app had an overhaul on its user interface and an introduction of content ratings ranging from all ages, teen and teen plus to refer to the manga in the app.
Since August 2024, all Shonen Jump+ one-shots are released simultaneously in English. On October 9, 2025, Shueisha announced that every new manga series launched in Weekly Young Jump would receive a simultaneous worldwide release on Manga Plus.
Censorship In January 2022, Manga Plus did not publish the 74th and 75th chapters of Ayakashi Triangle. The company declined to provide a reason, but Carlyle Edmundson of Screen Rant speculated it was due to the chapters containing a large amount of censored nudity of high school-aged characters.
Format Currently, in December 2023, the Manga Plus app has five sections:
Updates: Shows all chapters released on the app in the past seven days. Hottest: Shows rankings of viewership in the app for series in three categories in its different language options: Hottest, Trending, and Completed. Browse: Compiles all manga posted on Manga Plus which you are able to search by different genres. Additional features include promotional materials and Weekly Shonen Jump author comments. Series usually have the first and last few chapters available free. Creators: The homepage for Manga Plus Creators. Users can read and comment on user-submitted manga – the top ten most read series are reviewed by Shueisha and Medibang, and every month they reward series they deem exceptional with a cash prize, as well as potential publication on Manga Plus proper. My Shelf: Compiles series that the user has favourited, as well as options to change their username or avatar for comments, change preferred languages to read, among other notices.
