Shonen Jump’s Comics App Now Lets You Read as Much Manga as You Want

Shonen Jump’s manga reading app has long been one of the best deals in digital comics—free recent chapters, speedy turnaround on official translations of some of the biggest manga in the world, and access to a vault spreading across some of the biggest series in comics for $3 a month. But now the app is removing one particular hurdle that makes it even better.

This week Shonen Jump announced in an email to subscribers that it was removing its 100-chapter-a-day reading limit from the app, which had been in place since the service launched in 2018, now letting users read as much manga as they want with no restrictions. Sure, 100 chapters of manga was a lot of comics to be reading in a single day in the first place, so it’s unlikely that most but the absolute power users of the service regularly hit this cap. But now your marathon reads of the likes of One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, Bleach, and the many, many more manga series with chapter counts in the multiples of hundreds can continue unimpeded.

It’s a smart move, considering the sheer number of manga series that have chapter counts that run well over a hundred chapters. Even if not too many people were regularly hitting the 100-chapter cap for a day, the fact that it’s no longer there in their minds makes subscribers open to reading more, and trying more series out. You get to read a lot of comics, Shonen Jump gets a loyal subscriber, everyone wins.

Except whoever now tries to binge all of One Piece in a handful of days just to prove a point. Remember to take breaks!
