So assuming I get a VPN .. can I use my Credit Card to subscribe? Since the billing address will be from a country that is not allowed to view the manga it may not be allowed?
I did it with no problems so far.

I easily payed for a yearly sub back in september with my german google play account through my german paypal. No vpn, no us accounts needed.
Man, they just had to start it up in the midst of the most effed up schedule period of jump huh?
Having the big announcement for free simulpub of jump and then rolling it out mid december was a terrible idea, cause now we have the scanned chapter out A WEEK before the official release on january 6th. That's just terrible marketing.
Starting the new free Jump this week on sunday at the start of the year would have been much better. Having a chapter out this early on scanlation sites just gives the naysayers that much more ammunition to shit on the good thing VIZ are doing.
I can see a couple of reasons / benefits to this timing:
I wish there was an app like this for Light Novels
I just signed up. $24 per year for official access to new chapters AND all the past chapters, you can't beat that price.
You are in Germany and you can see the official chapters? I get a country block on the website, how do you do it?

Don't know who you are specifically mentioning, but I am just gonna reply. xD
To read it on the website I would need to use vpn. But I read on my phone or ipad, wich both don't require any vpn at all. On android phones you just need to download the shonen jump app apk and install it, then you can access it easily, cause it has no region block.
On ios devices you need to make a us itunes account ( I googled how to make one) and download the app through it, then you can easily switch to your current itunes account and use the app without any region blocks and the need of a vpn.

Ohh that sounds even better than the Jump app.
Already downloaded in my Iphone. Wow, I was waiting for this for many years.
Holy schmoly !
Awesome news, immediately got the app. Too bad it doesn't have paid backlog (yet?) though.
Random complaint: why is the thumbnail for OP #930 the final panel of the chapter….
Yeah… This is the best thing ever. Even more free series than the VIZ app. And worldwide. Just perfect. The only series missing is Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san, otherwise, the whole Jump is in there, plus a bunch of others. Awesome!
It took too long, but man I am still glad they are going full on global now with simulpubs. That is just the smart decision to make.
Of course now people will use the only excuse left for reading scans of these series, which is oh I gotta read them 2 days earlier simply because…
Small rant, but because of Viz's emails being filtered into the promotions portion of my inbox, I was taken totally off-guard by them cancelling my Shonen Jump subscription this morning. I only found out through the refund of the last payment. No notice on the website or app that I can recall seeing or anything. And I search my inbox and find them saying I can only renew through the app now, and there's a price hike for my trouble.
Why?
No really, Why the hell would they only be able to take Paypal subscriptions through the app? What is the benefit? What cost does it save that wouldn't be covered by the price going up 50% in the first place? I'm so sick of the appification of the whole internet, every other site asking me to download something to keep them on my device permanently. This one I do already have, and even sometimes use, but I'm on a desktop 90% of the time and this is not more convenient.
Grumble grumble, I'm an old man who doesn't like apps and things costing more than they used to. It's a first world problem and so on and so forth. But it still wasn't nice to wake up to.
Cross-posting from our OPLA thread:
Chapters 1-108 is free to view in celebration of the Netflix release.
Good opportunity to share with someone who isn't familiar with OP!

It is an old post but is there a workaround solution? I had a viz subscription since the beginning of shonen jump alpha. For that reason I m paying for vpns for quite some time. Dou to mangaplus and getting older and having less time for manga and stuff I was mad at that but couldnt do anything against that. Long story short, I had to rely on the subscription through the website since the app is not available in the german app store. Does anyone has a workourand solution. I still can access my account and have access to all the stuff I bought, but I cant resubscribe?
@shadyagent This is long enough ago that I don't remember exactly what happened, but I'm pretty sure I just swallowed my pride and started paying through the app. Sorry I can't offer anything more than that!
@Captain-M
It less about pride than more about having access at all. Since it is that annoying, I was able to find a solution by running a virtual Android System on my PC. I used Bluestacks btw.

So far I m able to run the app. Setting up a google wallet I still have to do. But yeah, for anyone not beeing in the viz region, that would be a solution.
Dunno where else to post this but don’t think it deserves its own thread. Likely due to the anime special release, the one shot Monsters is available on Viz for free.
