Episodes 1-8 of Umineko no Naku Koro ni are Available to Read for Free Through the Manga Up App

For a limited time, select episodes of Umineko no Naku Koro ni will be available to read for free through the Manga Up! app. Episodes 1-8 are currently available to read through the Square Enix Manga Up! mobile app, and users can read through these episodes until November 30, 2020. Additionally, the short story compilation Umineko no Naku Koro ni Tsubasa is available to read as well. [Thanks, Dengeki!]

However, there is a caveat. Users will only be able to select one episode to read entirely for free. To access other episodes, users will need to spend points collected through using the app to access and read the other episodes of Umineko no Naku Koro ni for free.

Manga Up! is an official manga reading app provided by Square Enix. Other titles that can be read through the mobile-only app include Goblin Slayer, Re: Zero, and the manga adaptation of SINoALICE. Unfortunately, this app is currently only available to Japanese audiences but can still be accessed through the official website.
