Where to read the Omori manga online
The Omori manga is available to read in English on K Manga. The first chapter is currently available to read for free. Fans should note that K Manga is only available in the United States. For readers located outside of the US, there is no official platform yet where you can read the series.
Hopefully, the manga will eventually be available to read on Kodansha USA’s website soon.
On the Kodansha USA website, you can sign up to be a Kodansha Reader for free, which will give you additional benefits. Some of the benefits include additional free chapters, manga previews, having your own digital manga library where you can keep track of what you’re reading, and simplified manga purchases from Kodansha.
