4 Legal Comic Reading Sites Alternative to Mangaraw
Without further ado, let's get straight to the main discussion, namely recommendations for four legal comic reading sites as an alternative to Mangaraw.
These four sites have a vast collection of titles and are widely known among comic fans. If you're a true fan, you should already know about them.
Some offer paid services, but many are free. Hopefully, now that you know this, you'll stop reading pirated content.
That way, you can also support the artists/comic artists to continue creating. So, here, VCGamers has selected some of the best legal comic reading platforms:
4. Kakao Page
The list opens with the legal comic site from South Korea, Kakao Page. Yes, the comic reading platform, famous for its popular instant messaging app, is actually legal!
This site itself focuses more on comics in the manhwa genre (oriental cartoons typical of South Korea), webtoons, web novels, Korean-language books, and other local serializations.
You can access it via the web or the app. Over thousands of titles are available, ranging from free on all platforms, free only via the app, to paid titles.
3. (Line) Webtoon
Doesn't this name need VCGamers to introduce you anymore? Yep, Webtoon! This comic reading portal, which also features works by Indonesian authors, is available legally.
Unlike its "rivals" mentioned above, this platform, also from South Korea, seems more familiar thanks to its expansion into Indonesia, one of its largest markets.
Here you can enjoy a variety of manhwa titles across a wide range of genres. The selection is extensive: international titles are available, and you can also find local ones. Many are free, too!
2. MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA
Well, this is what fans of the "Jejepunan" Shonen genre are looking for: MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA. Here, you no longer need to worry about reading "giant" manga titles illegally.
Shueisha (as the publisher) knows that their popular titles are the ones most frequently pirated. Just to name a few: Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, etc.
Rather than "salting the sea," they prefer to "fight fire with fire." So, through this portal, you can read the latest chapters of all these ongoing titles for free!
1. ComiXology
The first entry is Amazon's ComiXology. While the three entries above focused on "eastern" comic platforms, this platform shifts to "western" comic titles.
Because it is based in America, it is natural that the platform's focus tends to be on western pop culture products such as Marvel, DC, Valiant Comics, and other typical superhero publishers.
Not only that, because it is "backed" by Amazon, there are many flagship titles from eastern publishers such as Kodansha, VIZ Media, etc. Unfortunately, most of them are paid...
