American manga publishing company Viz Media announced on Dec 13, 2022, that they have increased the subscription prices of their Shonen Jump service to USD 2.99. The previous subscription charges were USD 1.99.

The new rates will be in effect from January 2023.

The chapters are published in English and can be accessed from United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, the Philippines, Singapore, and India using either the app or from Viz Media’s website.

The first three chapters and the latest three chapters of a manga are always free to read on Viz’s Shonen Jump service.
