Both the standard and deluxe plans will also have no ads in the app. Prices and titles may vary by country or region.

The MANGA Plus mobile app was first launched by Shueisha on January 28, 2019 and is operated directly by the editorial department in Japan to directly support its creators. It has featured many titles from Weekly Shonen Jump, as well as select series from Jump Square, Weekly Young Jump, Tonari no Young Jump, and V Jump.
MANGA Plus is available worldwide, except in Japan, China, and Korea. It can be downloaded on iOS and Android devices. More details will be released on the app’s updates page at a later date.
