If you enjoy bara of the bold sort, MyReadingManga is your best bet for free, and really, ad-blockers are key to navigating the site. For paid fare, take a look at the digital versions of Cool-B’s various titles, as well as a variety of indie publishers (such as Kuma Press). Follow the #baramanga tag on Twitter, where many of the featured artists offer commissions and even work that can only be found on their Patreon pages.

'Berserk' is probably the best dark fantasy series out there, so it has ruined other series of the same genre for me. I read most of my manga online through official channels (right now, I’m on Dark Horse’s digital edition of ‘Berserk’, since it’s often cheaper to buy a few volumes at a time than to get them one at a time). Humble Bundle occasionally has a huge sale on manga, including ‘Berserk’.
While fan translations may have sufficed in the past, in the wake of Miura’s passing, I think it’s more important than ever to support the work of his team. As far as I can tell, the official translations really bring out Griffith’s creepiness. Many libraries now carry digital manga, which can be borrowed for free and read in bed with a tablet. The double-page spreads in particular look stunning this way, and really bring home the full extent of the God Hand’s worst nightmares.

One of the coolest features of the official comic book apps is the social aspect to read comic books. You can leave comments to a specific panel and see other people’s reactions to the same panel that you read. You can even “like” a comment to show your approval. It’s a really cool way to experience comic books and have that same shared viewing experience as other people reading the same comic book, even though you are reading it by yourself. This is one of the reasons that serialized comic books are so much fun to read, and that pirate sites are so very boring and offer no real added value as a means to read comic books other than a digitized dump of content.
In addition to reading your story, the community on official apps can be a fantastic resource. In comments on individual panels, readers will clarify plot points that you may have left open to interpretation, explain references to culture that you may have taken for granted, or even point out foreshadowing that you had no idea you were doing. It’s like having a book club for every chapter of your story. You are not just paying for the words on the screen, you are paying for the experience of reading that story with hundreds of other readers.

Inter-library loan may be able to get the books for you if the library has them within the country. It’s a slow process but it’s free and it’s legal. Many people don’t know that even books that are not in print can be found within large city libraries and university libraries within the country. As the books are in print in the language you need, this could be an old solution to your digital problem. It will take a few weeks, but it’s guaranteed to get you the series you want to read and it’s supporting the libraries too. Thought I’d mention it as it’s an option for those that are happy to wait a few weeks.

This is an easy way to look for adult manga online: Amazon Kindle and Rakuten Kobo offer titles online, and the search function allows you to filter the results to suit your interests. For example, searching for ‘adult manga’ and looking for known 18+ publishers can yield some interesting results. Note that while some titles may be available to download in all regions, others may be locked to certain areas. I was able to pick up HatsuHaru through the two services mentioned above – convenient for someone who already uses them to read books online. No pop-up ads of a dodgy variety either.

I read Webtoon on their app, which is really designed for vertical scroll comics that are usually all full color. Lezhin on the other hand hosts more traditional page formatted comics like ‘Jinx’ and their app is optimized for that kind of artwork and panel flow. Trying to read a page based manhwa on an app designed for vertical scroll comics is really a clunky experience and a bad legal reading experience. The Lezhin app is the right tool for ‘Jinx’ as it makes your reading experience much more comfortable.
Reading a page-based manhwa on an app geared for vertical scroll comics can be very frustrating. Accessing legal content is one thing, but having a quality reading experience is another. Lezhin’s app is specifically geared towards content such as ‘Jinx’ (a page-based manhwa in full color) and thus offers the best reading experience for its artwork and panel layout.

Consider the device on which you are reading. A phone and a questionable website can be a terrible combination. On a tablet or computer with a good ad-blocker, the ads are usually pretty bearable. But if you’re reading on a phone, you can try switching to “Reader View” on your browser once you’re on the correct chapter page. It won’t block any redirects, but it will strip out most of the ads and make the rest of the page layout look somewhat better. But honestly, phone is the worst way to read a double-page spread series like Innocent. The composition just gets lost. Read on a bigger screen if you can.

I can provide official links to read “Darkfall” on Webtoon or on Tapas if they have the license to it. For another taste of a more complex, moral, gritty fantasy in prose form, Through Realms Of Sins(Short Stories) is an interesting collection of short stories which explore the consequences of actions in grim scenarios. Each short story features a character who is put in a very difficult, damned-if-you-do situation. These stories are free to read on a few of the major web novel sites.

I wish more was being done to distribute this ridiculously smart manga about games and psychology. The availability is sort of a confusing game right now, but hopefully some publisher sees the continuous interest in it and finally puts out a proper edition, possibly an omnibus or even just puts it up on a subscription service. In the meantime, we're all fighting over the same small number of workarounds. My guess is that if you're a student or poor, then aggregator services are the way to go even if they don't provide the best reading experience. But if you have any money at all, then go for the official digital volumes – they're presented in a completely clean, complete, and respectful manner.

Most BL authors, as well as web novel platforms, have email newsletters where they announce Freebie days, sales with special discount codes, etc. They even give away short stories as a special treat to their subscribers. I have a special folder for these newsletters on my email account, and I try to read them once a week. In them, I’ve received complete free novellas, short stories that haven’t been published yet, and even free chapters that are published before the rest of the book.
It may require you to sign up for the newsletter (which some people are really opposed to), but seriously, it’s such a low barrier to entry to get this kind of stuff sent to you on a regular basis. Authors love it because it helps them build their direct audience, and you love it because you get to read free legal fiction on the web without having to seek it out. Just use a burn email or a throwaway to sign up with, is my advice.
