Crunchyroll Manga is a premium digital manga service from Crunchyroll, LLC offering a vast library of officially licensed manga to readers in the United States and Canada via an ad-free mobile app on iOS and Android. The service's current iteration launched on October 9, 2025, significantly expanding upon its original form, which began distribution on October 30, 2013.

Initial launch partners include AlphaPolis, COMPASS Manga, Square Enix, VIZ Media and Yen Press, with major additions like Shueisha and J-Novel Club planned to follow.
The original Crunchyroll Manga was a digital manga platform that was first launched on October 30, 2013, and initially had a lineup of twelve titles, with chapters released simultaneously with their Japanese release. The Crunchyroll Manga service provided English speaking readers with officially licensed editions of the latest installments of popular manga published by Futabasha, Kodansha, Kadokawa Shoten and Shà Ânen Gahà Âsha soon after they were released in Japan.
On October 26, 2013, Crunchyroll confirmed that the Crunchyroll Manga service would be released on October 30, 2013. The service became available in 170 countries, except Japan, China, France, Germany and Italy.

On November 10, 2023, Crunchyroll, LLC confirmed that Crunchyroll Manga would be shut down on December 11.
Manga chapters can be read online through the website or on web-enabled devices through Crunchyroll or an official app. Readers can sign up for an All-Access or Manga subscription for full access to several manga titles. Anime and Drama subscribers can read only the latest chapters with limited advertisements.
The anthology format generally mirrors that of the equivalent magazine issues, typically featuring the same cover illustrations, and color interior pages. If a physical copy or digital copy of a series is available for sale, it might not be available on Crunchyroll Manga.
