Where Can I Read Bakudeku Comic Online Legally?

I get why you want to read Bakudeku comics legally — I'm picky about that too, and I love being able to support creators directly. First off, it's important to separate two things: official manga/comic releases of 'My Hero Academia' (which are where canon content lives) and fan-made Bakudeku comics (which are usually doujinshi, webcomics, or illustrated short comics made by fans). For official material from the series, I always point people to the usual legal places like VIZ Media's site/app, 'Shonen Jump', Manga Plus by Shueisha, or ComiXology. Those won't have romantic Bakudeku fanworks, but they're the right choice if you want to read the source material legally and encourage the original creator.

For fan comics specifically, the safest legal places are where artists post their work themselves or where creators explicitly upload/authorize translations. The common platforms I check are Pixiv (many Japanese artists post short comics and doujinshi announcements there), Twitter/X and Tumblr (artists often post pages or links), DeviantArt, and sometimes Tapas or Webtoon if a creator chooses those for webcomic hosting. If an artist sells a doujinshi, they might link to a shop page or to their Fanbox/Patreon/Ko-fi where you can buy a digital copy. So search for the artist's handle + 'Bakudeku' and follow their links — if the comic is available, the artist will usually show how they want it shared or sold.

A few practical tips I use: check the creator's profile for repost rules and whether translations are allowed; prefer downloads or translations posted by the original artist or by a translator who has permission; and avoid sketchy scan sites and aggregator pages that scrape content without consent. If you spot a scanlation or repost, a quick way to help is to retweet/share the creator's original post or buy their work if it's for sale. I also keep an eye on tags in Japanese (like the characters' names) when searching Pixiv because some doujinshi only get posted under JP tags.

Honestly, supporting artists gives me more joy than pirating ever did — I follow a handful of Bakudeku artists, buy their digital copies, and toss them a tip on release day. If you want, tell me whether you prefer English translations or raw Japanese and I can suggest places or search tips for that, too.

I'm usually hunting fan comics on my lunch breaks, so I keep it simple: look where the artists actually post. For Bakudeku comics that are legal to read, check Pixiv, Twitter/X, Tumblr, and DeviantArt first — creators often upload pages or link to where you can buy/download safely. If someone sells a doujinshi they usually link to a shop, DLsite (for JP creators), or their Fanbox/Patreon/Ko-fi; buying there supports them directly.

Avoid random scan sites and manga aggregators that repost without permission — those are usually illegal. Also remember the official routes for the canon stuff: 'My Hero Academia' is available on VIZ Media, 'Shonen Jump', and Manga Plus if you want to read the original manga legally. If you want, I can help track down specific artists who do Bakudeku comics and show you how to search their tags — it takes a few clicks and feels great to support them.
