The Shonen Jump app has a pretty extensive library of titles, but to binge the backlog of the catalog a subscription is required (though it is a fantastic deal at $2 a month). For those that are not Jump subscribers, or are looking for some free shonen manga to binge, the Manga Plus app and website have several series that are (so far) exclusive to the app and free for the time being. Here are 22 titles you should check out.
