Where to Read Manhwas: The Most Recommended Websites & Apps (Recommendations)
33. Dark Horse Comics

| 5/10 | 5/10 | 5/10 | 15/30 |
Dark Horse Comics was created by Mike Richardson in 1986, and this app was originally a comic book and manga publisher that later included manhwas in its ranks when they started gaining in popularity.
You can download the app practically anywhere. Some examples are Google Play, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, and much more.
What differentiates this app from the rest is that it possesses a Zoom Mode. This is a super convenient feature for those of us who have bad vision or just like to read in a huge font.
32. COMIXOLOGY

| 5/10 | 6/10 | 5/10 | 16/30 |
Comixology is owned by Amazon. It’s a cloud-based digital distribution platform with an incredible number of downloadable comics, mangas, and Korean webtoons.
The subscription fee is USD 5.99 per month. It’s quite affordable and it can be used on the following platforms: Android, Kindle Fire, iOS, and Browser.
In the App Store in 2011, Comixology was said to be the highest-grossing application of the year. That was the beginning of the app’s success, since in 2012 it was declared one of the top-grossing iPad apps.
Even now, it’s one of the most popular apps because it gives users a great experience.
31. Comica
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 5/10 | 6/10 | 6/10 | 17/30 |
Comica is a free application for Android, iOS, and browsers. Although more focused on mangas and comics, it possesses about a hundred of Korean webtoons.
Comica’s strategy to attract readers was based on your internet consumption. The app allows you to download all your favorite chapters so you can have the option to read while offline.
It’s super user-friendly, easy to use and the downloads are fairly fast. Well, that last point still depends on your internet connection.
30. Foxtoon
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 6/10 | 6/10 | 6/10 | 18/30 |
Foxtoon is the first website on the list. It launched in 2015 and it’s exclusive to Korean Comics. Now don’t get your hopes extremely high. Even though it’s a manhwa-only website, the number of titles that you can’t find isn’t godly, but the best ones are there.
You’ll need a good internet connection since it’s a bit on the slow side due to the high quality of the available chapters.
All in all, it’s not THE best option, but it can be like a plan B if your number one choice crashes or something.
29. Bookcube
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 6/10 | 6/10 | 6/10 | 18/30 |
Here we also have a mahwa-only website, but that’s not what’s special about it, and you are going to love what’s next.
We can all agree that some of the underrated Korean comics are just the best reads of your life. One problem is that they are super hard to find, especially updated.
Well, here is your solution. This app is full of underrated masterpieces that you won’t find anywhere else.
You will discover some of the most unique Korean webtoons on Earth, but won’t have much access to the popular ones.
28. Viz Manga by Viz Media
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 6/10 | 6/10 | 6/10 | 18/30 |
Viz can be found as an app as well as a website. In terms of the website, you might find it weird to see it near the end of the list considering its popularity. However, there is a good reason for it.
Viz is one of the most used websites, so it’s quite well off, yet it just didn’t bother to update the user experience as the other websites did.
As for the app, the downside is that it’s not downloadable in every country. Don’t blame the maker of the app, blame yourself for the country you were born in.
27. Crunchyroll
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 6/10 | 6/10 | 19/30 |
Someday, somewhere, we all heard or read about Crunchyroll. It’s super famous! It has everything related to mangas and manhwas, it’s just that it’s overly expensive.
Even if you were willing to pay a good price to get what you want, the website will force you to buy the chapters from the get-go without giving you the chance to discover if you like your pick or not.
Personally, I believe that Crunchyroll is extremely overrated. However, the buyers are still very satisfied with the service and quality, so we won’t bad-mouth it any longer.
26. Bookwalker
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 5/10 | 7/10 | 19/30 |
Bookwalker is a great website. However, one single very crucial problem made a lot of its readers desert him.
He has a very large catalogue of titles and very good quality, but the user experience just sucks. It’s very hard to navigate through the website and almost impossible to find the title you are looking for.
You might stumble on something even better while searching for something else, but that’s the main point here. The second the user gets frustrated with the website, the second he will abandon it.
25. booksamillion.com
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 6/10 | 7/10 | 20/30 |
BAM for short, is, like Crunchyroll, quite expensive. However, it at least gives some extra benefits that aren’t completely worth your money but are better than nothing.
First of all, you have the option to choose the language in which you want to navigate the website. Second of all, the “AI suggestion” feature isn’t just for show.
Based on your previous reads and the most popular manhwas ever written, they propose to you a list of titles that you will most probably love. So cheers to that!
24. webtoon.kakao.com
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 7/10 | 6/10 | 20/30 |
This website is reserved for the Korean, Thai, and Taiwanese people, as well as outsiders who happen to be fluent in their language.
The website is great in every aspect, it’s just too bad that it’s only available in those three languages, making it impossible for us, English educated people, to enjoy it as well.
There were talks saying that they were planning to make a global version of webtoon.kakao.com, but no concrete move toward that goal has yet been made. Hopefully, in the near future.
23. Amazon
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 7/10 | 7/10 | 21/30 |
I believe that Amazon needs no introduction. It’s one of the most famous websites all around the world. No matter how great the website has become, it’s still lacking in some areas, especially in terms of manhwas.
Its manhwa collection is quite puny. However, during the last two years, it started working in this area, probably because the fame of the genre skyrocketed out of nowhere and at a very fast rate.
Got to keep up with the trends even if you are a multimillion-dollar company.
22. gmarket.co.kr
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 7/10 | 7/10 | 21/30 |
You can consider gmarket as a substitute for Amazon in Korean. It offers all kinds of Korean products, not just Korean webtoons and comics.
Its only desire is to make sure its customers are happy and satisfied with their purchases. Thus, they have very professional and elaborated customer service and are also applying the concept of “return policy.”
21. azuki.co
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 7/10 | 7/10 | 21/30 |
Azuki has been on the market for years now. It may have been one of the first websites to offer a collection of manhwas.
Because its roots made their way deep into the hearts of its readers, despite its downsides, it’s quite difficult to part with it.
The website is a bit on the slow side and misses some of the latest updates, but it’s undeniable that it was one of the largest manhwa collections ever seen.
20. Ridi Webtoon
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 7/10 | 7/10 | 21/30 |
This website also possessed an app. However, the app completely failed to attract and satisfy users, so you can forget about its existence and stick to the website, which is far more elaborate.
Many unique genres are available other than our typical manga/manhwa/comics obsession. You might find a new addiction while browsing. New stuff is always super exciting, isn’t it?
19. Spottoon
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 7/10 | 7/10 | 21/30 |
This website is super fast in terms of loading mixed and great quality, making this one of the best websites to read manhwa. The app is also not shabby at all, but for some unknown reason, it was removed from iTunes and is now only available for Samsung.
The app is a paid one, but not for everything. If you are lucky, it might just turn out that your favorite manhwa is the free one out there. It’s always nice to have unexpected surprises, it adds some spice to our daily lives.
18. Manga Plus
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 7/10 | 7/10 | 21/30 |
Don’t be fooled by the name of the app. Although it says “manga,” it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will only find manga in there.
Everyone tries to stay up to date, It just happened that Korean webtoons came into the picture a bit later compared to our good old beloved manga.
Just so you know, the app is downloadable for free and it’s available on IOS, Androids, and the browser.
17. Bomtoon
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 8/10 | 7/10 | 7/10 | 22/30 |
Every single Korean comic on Earth can be found on this website. All the genres, the underrated, the overrated, the super famous, the ones gaining in popularity, all of them are there.
Always up to date on updates, you might now ask me why it isn’t ranked higher on this recommendation list.
The answer is simple, they didn’t think to make an English version of the site. It’s almost impossible to navigate since it’s all in Korean, and now I’m thinking of learning the language to get a piece of the good stuff as well.
16. Tapread
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 7/10 | 8/10 | 22/30 |
Tapread has one of the best translation services out there. Also, it’s one of the only websites that never once crashed or went down. It’s super comfortable to use, you will find most of the titles you are looking for.
It’s just that you might find it a bit slow from time to time but nothing that is extremely exasperating or infuriating.
I strongly recommend this one, it won’t disappoint you. It’s a safe choice, if you ask me.
15. Web Comics
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 7/10 | 8/10 | 22/30 |
This website has a great variety of, well, almost everything. It’s fast, has a good translation, and every Korean webtoon you can think of will most probably be found with ease. It’s user friendly, easy to use and navigate.
HOWEVER, there have been a lot of complaints against it. The website is kind of trying to cheat people by selling some manhwas that were shared free of cost by the authors.
An unethical practice that was badly viewed by many, which pushed them to switch and turn to a competitor.
14. Tappytoon
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 7/10 | 8/10 | 8/10 | 23/30 |
Tappytoon is a paid website where you’ll have to empty your purse in order to subscribe. However, it’s costly for a good reason. The makers really put their all into this project to create one of the most beautiful websites out there.
The UI design is out of this world, it’s aesthetic and particularly pleasing to the eyes also they have a huge amount of titles available that they update very frequently.
If money is not a problem for you, this website is the one you should go for. Satisfaction guaranteed.
13. Graphite Comics
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 8/10 | 8/10 | 8/10 | 24/30 |
This website focuses more on mobile readers. You can get in through web browsers and enjoy a smooth experience while browsing online.
From Japanese to Korean and even Chinese Webtoons, their catalogue is one of the largest even now.
It gained so much popularity that it was described as the “Netflix of online comics”. The one reason why it didn’t get a higher ranking is that, just in terms of manhwas they are a bit lacking.
12. Webtoons
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 8/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | 25/30 |
This one is really an amazing app. It is easy to use and takes into consideration the age of all its readers when inserting the web’s features.
Input your age and they will provide you with an appropriate selection that will most probably fit your preferences.
Their recommendation list is also very unique. You will discover amazing manhwas that you probably never heard of before.
It’s fun to use, just make sure you don’t waste too much time enjoying your search. The time will pass in a sec without you even realizing it.
11. NetComics
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 8/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | 25/30 |
This one is also a paid app. However, it proposes the right balance between cheap and costly. It’s about USD 0.25 to 0.45. What’s great about it is that it lets you read a few chapters, three most of the time, before buying the series to make sure that it is to your liking.
It’s a bit confusing to use at the beginning, but when you get the gist of it, you realize that it’s nothing serious to fuss over.
10. WeComics
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 8/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | 25/30 |
Wecomics is a very peculiar app. The art in their manhwas is something never seen before. You won’t ever find anything like it anywhere else, and that makes the app charming.
Technically, it is free. You have access to all the series at no cost. However, you have the option to buy coins. Those coins will give you the option to unlock special chapters.
It’s exciting in a way, and when it comes to one of your favorite manhwas I’m sure you won’t resist the temptation.
The only bad point is that it’s a bit behind on updates, but you can be sure you’ll always get them.
9. Mangamo
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 8/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | 25/30 |
The subscription for Mangamo is USD 4.99 per month, and it’s only available on Android and iOS.
The best thing about Mangamo is that it’s 100% add-free. Imagine freely reading for hours without having to wait a single second for the annoying advertisement video to end.
The funniest thing about this app is that it’s all about mangas, manhwas, and manhuas, and yet it’s not available in Japan, China, nor even Korea. Ironic, isn’t it?
Sometimes I really can’t understand what goes through the heads of people.
8. Toomics
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 9/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | 26/30 |
You’ll have to be mentally ready to use this website. There are so many titles to choose from, and all look amazing. The story is catchy, the artwork is unique and attractive, and their recommendations are top-notch.
You will have so many tempting options that you won’t know where to start. What’s even worse is that they are actually all super good. Get ready to become a shut-in. When you get hooked, there will be no way out for you.
The big catch is that it’s quite expensive and out of budget for many.
7. Manga Toon
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 9/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | 26/30 |
Originally a Chinese-only website, they decided to expand their field and include manga, as well as manhwas.
They always aim to upgrade their system to offer one of the best experiences. The only problem is that they fall behind in terms of translation.
6. Tapas
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 9/10 | 9/10 | 8/10 | 26/30 |
Tapas is technically a paid website, however, it didn’t discard us poor people and offered some free manhwas for us to read.
They didn’t even choose the bad ones. Some of the best titles are available for free, and they also have special events where they hand out weekly free chapters.
Unfortunately, they have the habit of censoring violent scenes, taking away some of the best battles of the stories.
5. INKR Comics
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 9/10 | 9/10 | 9/10 | 27/30 |
INKR developer really outdid himself. A few years ago, the app wouldn’t even be included in this recommendation list, and look how it made it to the top 5.
He poured his heart and soul into making one of the best apps of our time. The user experience that it now offers is incomparable to all the other contestants.
Hats off to the guy; his efforts really paid off.
4. Lehzin Comics
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 9/10 | 9/10 | 9/10 | 27/30 |
When you talk about Lezhin comics the first thing that comes to mind is romance. In that domain, no website on Earth can beat them.
You will find love, passion, treacheries, revenge, and a whole lot of drama in their pages, but you’ll have to pay for all the intense tornado of emotions you will feel during your journey with Lezhin.
3. Manta
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 10/10 | 9/10 | 9/10 | 28/30 |
Also, more focused on romance than anything else, you will still have a nice collection of other genres available.
Their main strong point is that they have some of the best translation work around. Also, not all chapters have to be paid, they have a good deal of free stuff out there.
The cherry on the cake is that they have some legendary super old manhwas that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
2. Copin Comics
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 10/10 | 9/10 | 10/10 | 29/30 |
Not only do they have a huge collection of available titles, but they also have a very unique feature, which is the concept of “rent”.
You have the option to buy or rent the story that you desire. If you choose to rent them, you have 72 hours to think through your choice.
Only the updated chapters that just came out can’t be rented.
1. Naver
| Catalogue | User Experience | Server | Total |
| 10/10 | 10/10 | 10/10 | 30/30 |
Naver is greatly underrated, and that is just sad. So I’m taking this opportunity to raise awareness and push you to try the unexpected.
In terms of Korean Webtoon, this app has all the other beats. There is not one title you won’t find.
Not only that, they understood that the English readers are increasing in number and are now a huge part of the market, so they created an English version of this app just for us.
This is the best app/website to read manhwa. Go try it and come back to tell me that I have it right.
Conclusion
I do believe that we concluded this recommendation list with style. I’m sure that most of you have tried at least two or more of the apps and websites that I presented, so why don’t you share some of your personal experiences in the comments below?
