All Weekly Shonen Jump manga are available to read on Shueisha's Manga Plus and Viz Media. Both services offer website and mobile application options.

MANGA Plus' website, VIZ Media's website and mobile application (Shonen Jump) allow readers to view and read the first three and latest three chapters of a manga series as many times as they want. However, fans should remember that the latest three chapters change with every new chapter release.

Meanwhile, MANGA Plus' mobile application works a bit differently. The application allows readers to view all the chapters of a manga series. However, one can only read the first and last three chapters of a series repeatedly. Other chapters can only be read through a device.
