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.

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.

The only definitive answer here is the WEBTOON platform. It’s a ‘WEBTOON Original’ which means it was created for WEBTOON first and all other versions are just reprints of it. Free access to early episodes of a series is built in to your WEBTOON account. You can sign up, search for the series and start reading it. Sometimes the early episodes of a series are even permanently free to read and then later episodes are read using your daily pass.
The creators and publishers can track views for WEBTOON titles. That means lots of views can translate into print releases, adaptations, and more work for the creator of a particular series. By reading a WEBTOON title on an aggregator site for free, you’re not contributing anything to the system. And for something as well-made as Bloodhounds, with such obvious passion poured into each fight scene, giving the creators the official view count for a title that they can see is the least a fan can do.

'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.

Oh oh ‘Killing Stalking’… I read that one a while ago on Lezhin and it completely twisted me around in every way. The tension between the two leads is just incredible and the art is fantastic and perfectly captures the eerie atmosphere of the whole thing. For those interested in reading it legally, I know Lezhin and Tappytoon have it.
Please don’t read this on some of the ‘other’ websites that come up in your search as they can contain malware. I’ve listed a couple of other alternatives that are just as good at the bottom of this post. Warehouse and The Pawn’s Revenge are two other alternatives that are just as good at causing you sleepless nights. Just make sure you read something light and fluffy afterwards though!

There were some pretty wild fan theories about Haise Sasaki’s true identity and the Cochlea during the ':re' arc. Pretty much the entire online community was analyzing every panel, every line of dialog. When the actual answers did come, they sent the online forums into a frenzy of excitement. There was something really special about getting to experience that shared sense of discovery when reading a series online, something that’s greatly lacking when you binge read a series later. It was like being part of one huge, online detective story. The smoothness of binging is just not the same as the weekly/monthly experience of online reading an ongoing series and being able to discuss and anticipate with fellow readers.

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.

Many older readers remember the time of scanlation groups who proudly placed their watermark on the first page of their releases. You used to search for certain groups that were known for their quality. With the growing number of official apps and aggregator sites, which strip their users of all credit for their work, that culture has largely disappeared.
For Borderline, I haven’t seen any notable fan group give it a read. But it’s there, everywhere, anonymously. This removes the translator’s voice from the manga reading experience and the community surrounding a release. Even the official translation reads professionally but is anonymously given to us readers. We’ve become so useable that our loss of connection to the content we read is felt so little. My “where” would be nostalgic for these “fan groups” but for now my practical click is the Webtoon app where Borderline reliably appears.

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.

Set up a proxy address in Japan and purchase through a Japanese e-book store as a legal purchase and support to the creator. Obviously there is a language barrier as well as potential issues with international payment, but for the serious collector it may be worth checking out.
