Read manga panel by panel, right to left
To read manga panel by panel, add your manga file to LiveComics, choose Panel view, pick Manga as the reading type, and tap through it one panel at a time. The panels run right to left, the way the page was printed, and each one fills your phone screen. Panel view is free on every volume.
Why read manga one panel at a time?
A manga page holds many small panels and small lettering, and on a phone a whole page leaves the balloons hard to read. One panel at a time fills the screen with the part you are reading, in order, with no pinching and dragging. The whole page is always one switch away.

Does it follow the right to left order?
That is what the reading type is for. Pick Manga and the panels are read right to left, Japanese order. Pick Comics and they run left to right instead. Nothing guesses it for you, so a translated manga still reads the way it was drawn.
How do I start?
Add each volume once, and your place follows you to every screen you sign in on.
- Make a free account at livecomics.to, or get the app from the App Store, Google Play or the Microsoft Store.
- In your library, press + Add Comics and pick the files. You can pick many at once, or paste a Google Drive or Dropbox share link instead.
- Choose Panel view and press Next, then pick Manga as the reading type and press Add.
Each file can be up to 2.6 GB. A free account imports 30 comics a month and holds 1 GB, about 20 single issues, with no card. For a bigger collection, Collector is $3 a month for 50 GB and lifts the import limit.
Can I read manga panel by panel on Android or iPhone?
Yes. LiveComics is on Google Play for Android and in the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and it runs in any phone's browser. Panel view works the same on every screen.
Can it read the manga aloud too?
Yes. Choose Voiced instead and every balloon is read in order by two synthetic narrators matched to each speaker, with the drawn sound effects and a soundscape under every scene, while the panels turn on their own. Voices come with a monthly plan or a top-up, and you see the price in credits before you add a volume.
Does it work for manhwa and webtoons?
Not panel by panel. A webtoon is one long vertical strip, so it reads as one scroll instead, top to bottom. Pick Manhwa as the reading type for those.
