The Crunchyroll Store is currently offering a 30% discount on all Viz Media books. Anyone familiar with manga knows Viz is a primary publisher of official English translations, so the sale includes a wide range of individual tankōbon volumes, as well as deluxe editions, art books, and even coloring books. With more than 2,000 volumes of manga on sale, every type of manga reader should be able to find something. While there are plenty of options for reading manga online, there’s always something special about flipping through the pages of your favorite series and getting to see it on your shelf.
Although Crunchyroll usually struggles to match Amazon prices, many of the manga deals I’ve listed here have actually gone lower. Otherwise, you can shop the full sale here. It ends tonight, so if you’re trying to stock up, now’s your chance.
30% Off Viz Manga at Crunchyroll Store
The sale is a great opportunity to try out a new manga or pick up new volumes of something you’ve already been reading (online or otherwise). Highlights include every single volume of Dan Da Dan, which is about to start airing its second anime season. In general, the sale is a great opportunity to check out the manga that inspired recent anime hits like Sakamoto Days and Frieren.
Of course, if we’re talking about iconic anime, you’ll also find discounts on classics like Dragon Ball, One Piece, and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. One series I personally recommend that hasn’t gotten an anime adaptation (at least not yet) is Kagurabachi. Otherwise, your best bet is scrolling through the full sale, which you can sort by individual series.
Art Books Also Included
Viz Media also publishes a substantial amount of art books and other physical merchandise. Aside from the standard slate of popular manga, these publications highlight authors like Junji Ito and animation giants like Studio Ghibli.

Nope! However, Crunchyroll Premium members do save an extra 5-15% on orders from the Crunchyroll Store. You can theoretically sign up for a seven-day free trial and get the bonus discount on top of the current sale.
Otherwise, a Premium membership is really only worth it long-term if you’re also in the market for an anime-focused streaming service. Starting at $7.99, a subscription’s major perk is access to ad-free streaming of Crunchyroll’s entire library. Speaking of, Crunchyroll is currently celebrating “Ani-May” by making a selection of their library free to stream.
