Manga read aloud: hear every panel
Open a manga and hear it. The reader goes panel by panel in the right order, right to left for manga and top to bottom for manhwa and webtoons. Every balloon voiced, the drawn sound effects out loud and a soundscape under the scene.
Right to left, the way it was printed
Reading order matters more in manga than anywhere else. Each page is split into its panels and put in manga order before a word is spoken, so the balloons play in the sequence the artist laid out, not straight across the page.
Manhwa and webtoons scroll
Vertical strips play as one long scroll. The reader glides to each panel as it plays, and you can scroll ahead or back whenever you like.
Bring your own volumes
Upload the CBZ and CBR files you already own to your free shelf and have any volume performed. It reads the lettering in the language it was printed in, and a volume can be bought in another language too, voiced again in the same voices.
Hear one now
Give My Regards to Black Jack, Vol. 1, Shuho Sato's hospital drama, is on the free streaming shelf, fully voiced and played right to left.
Straight answers
Is there an app that reads manga out loud?
Yes, this one. It runs in any browser and in the iOS, Android and Windows apps: open a manga, press play and every balloon is voiced in reading order, with the sound effects and soundscapes.
Is there a free manga audiobook app?
Yes: LiveComics plays manga like an audiobook you can watch, panel by panel, with every balloon voiced. Give My Regards to Black Jack is free on the streaming shelf with a free account. Your own volumes play in the language they were lettered in, so an English volume is heard in English, and voicing them takes a monthly plan or a top-up.
Does Audible have manga?
Audible sells audiobooks, including light novels from some manga series, but you listen without the pages. Here the manga itself plays, panel by panel on screen, with every line voiced.
Can I listen to manga on Spotify?
Not with the pages: audiobooks on Spotify are audio only, so you never see a panel. To hear a manga while you watch it, play it here, panel by panel in reading order with every line voiced, in any browser or in the iOS, Android and Windows apps.
Does it read manga right to left?
Yes. Each page is split into its panels and played right to left, top to bottom, the way it was printed. Manhwa and webtoons play top to bottom as one scroll.
Can it read manhwa and webtoons aloud?
Yes, the vertical strips you import. Long strips are cut at the gaps between panels so the balloons stay whole, then played as one continuous scroll. It plays the files you bring, not episodes inside another app.
How do I get a webtoon read out loud?
Import the strip and press play: it is read out loud as it scrolls, with every balloon voiced, the sound effects and soundscapes. Manhwa is read aloud the same way. Bring the strip as a CBZ or CBR file you own; it plays the files you bring, not episodes inside another app.
Can I hear a manga in English if it is in Japanese?
Yes, on your own shelf. Once a volume has been performed you can buy it in another language: the dialogue is translated and voiced again in the same voices, and the original stays there to switch back to.
Is it free?
Listening to the streaming shelf is free with a free account, and that includes Give My Regards to Black Jack. Voicing your own volumes takes a monthly plan or a top-up, and every import shows its price first.
