I guess the question is as detailed as it can get:  
I'm looking for a legal mobile app where you can read manga as well as watch
anime from.

Looking forward for your answers.

Is there a mobile app where you can read manga as well as watch anime from?


You can read manga and watch anime with Crunchyroll on Android. The anime app
can be used by free members ad-supported, or by paid members ad-free. The
manga app however is exclusively for paid members

[CR Manga
App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crunchyroll.crmanga) ,
[CR Anime/Drama
App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crunchyroll.crunchyroid&hl=en)

Similarly for iOS:

[CR Manga App](https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/manga-by-
crunchyroll/id617048063?mt=8) , [CR Anime/Drama
App](https://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/crunchyroll-watch-anime-
drama/id329913454?mt=8)

Windows Phone:

(No Manga App) , [CR Anime/Drama App](http://www.windowsphone.com/en-
ie/store/app/crunchyroll/8ce587a5-3277-4e1f-a120-58eb220297d1)

Most apps have anime and manga separate, presumably for development purposes
(It's arguably easier to have them separate). I don't think there are any apps
(for Android at least) that combine the two in one app.

As far as news apps for anime go, Crunchyroll have
[one](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crunchyroll.crnews).
But I came across [Daily Anime
News](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=florian.baierl.daily_anime_news&hl=en),
which compiles several different news sites in one place. (Both Android)

Legality is the key issue. You can find many legal anime-hosting sites:
VizAnime, Crunchyroll, etc., but manga? Much of the time it is meant for print
or through subscription-based digital viewing, not for free. That being said,
there are multitudes of manga reading apps, illegal though.

Crunchyroll has a number of apps available for streaming anime and reading
manga. It is legal, though you may have to be a "Premium Member" (monthly
subscription) to access content on the mobile apps. There are also some region
restrictions, but most of their catalog is available to users in the US.

Here is a of platforms they have apps for.

According to [this piece of news](http://en.rocketnews24.com/2014/03/05/new-
online-manga-service-features-200-titles-three-selectable-languages-and-no-
fees/), there will be a new service starting from March 22nd 2014 called
[ComicWalker](http://comic-walker.com/).

It'll be completely free of charge, and will have around 200 manga titles
initially available, of which about 40 will be translated into English.  
The full and official list will be available on the same day the service is
launched.

The first link provides some more details about the availability of the
content, as well as the languages available.

### Update

As of April 29th 2014, the site features 163 titles in Japanese, 33 in English
and 35 in Chinese. See the full list [here](http://comic-
walker.com/contents/list/) (switch between languages at the top right).

Also, besides the iOS and Android apps, you can also view the content on your
PC browser.
