Shueisha's MANGA Plus releases the most recent manga chapters for popular series around the world at the same time as they are released in Japan. English, Russian, French, Thai, Indonesian, Spanish, and Portuguese are the seven languages supported. Except in Japan, China, and South Korea, MANGA Plus is available worldwide.

Translated titles include works from ongoing titles from Weekly Shōnen Jump, a large portion of mangas from the Shōnen Jump app and website, as well as some manga from Jump Square, Weekly Young Jump, Tonari no Young Jump, and V Jump.

The project is aimed to celebrate the third anniversary of the app, which was launched during January 2019.

Titles with completed serializations, re-released works, and other works are not eligible. "First Read Free" will cease 30 days after the final chapter is released for titles that will finish during the promotion time.

When a user installs the app for the first time or updates it to the current version, the software will be available. However, the campaign is unavailable on the MANGA Plus website. Users should read each full chapter of a manga in one sitting because each chapter is only readable once. If the app's viewer is closed, you won't be able to read it again.

Many firms look forward to the service's reviews to determine if a manga will become famous internationally when it is animated, according to Yūta Momiyama, who handles Weekly Shōnen Jump's Shōnen Jump+ and MANGA Plus online services.
