You can now read some of my favorite manga of all time for less than $5 thanks to an unexpected new deal from Final Fantasy's publisher
Apr. 8, 2024When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.Here’s how it works.
As well as Black Butler, the service has a strong selection of new titles as well as some old hits. Mystery period piece The Apothecary Diaries, which has inspired one of the year’s most enjoyable anime series, is a great read, as is Shinichi Fukuda’s cosplay-obsessed (and lightly NSFW) My Dress-Up Darling. The classic Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater are also both available on the service.
It’s worth noting that not every series on Manga Up! will be fully available via Vault Pass. The statement specifies: “Subscribers who want to read chapters other than those available on Vault Pass will have to wait a set number of days or access them using UP, or use XP or Coin to read them immediately.” Still, this is a great way to work through many new and completed series, catch up with manga you’ve fallen behind on, and make some new discoveries.
At a glance, we’d also recommend: completed romance manga Horimiya, cute slice of life The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, and the historical drama (with a now-airing anime) My Happy Marriage.
