So instead of just posting this constantly in various book clubs, I thought I’d start compiling a list of kindle books that are free on Amazon JP.
Of course there are many more than just these ones (Such as the shounen starter volumes), but here’s a good place to start.
You can also find various books by this author that are also free.
You can also search for free manga using this link.

It has been mentioned that if the book contains ‘期間限定無料お試し版’, it will be a temporary version. They usually have a date in the title to mention when they will be unable to be used.
I’m too lazy to update the limited free titles anymore since there’s so many and they’re so frequent, just search for 期間限定無料お試し版 on amazon.
Aah! Here’s one I’m super excited about - 宇宙を駆けるよだか (‘Switched)’
It’s a limited time free volume 1.
It recently (2018) had a Netflix adaptation called ‘Switched’.
I’m not sure, there doesn’t seem to be any limit on how many free books you can download as I’ve downloaded all the ones I’ve mentioned in my post.
Does the link work if you’re not logged in?
When I’m signed in, it says that I’ve already purchased this book, when I’m not signed in and in an incognito window, I get it looking like this:
Yeah, it only happens when opening the link while signed in.
I had my account set to English but I changed it to Japanese and got “このタイトルは現在ご購入いただけません。初めてKindle本をご購入される場合は、「コンテンツと端末の管理」の設定から1-Click設定をおこなってください。” instead. Which is weird because previously that wasn’t an issue. I’ll see if can fix it.
Doesn’t that just mean that it can’t find a Kindle to send to so it can’t do the 1 click buy?
Maybe your Kindle is mismatching with your Amazon account.
That wouldn’t really make sense, I’m seeing my Amazon books from my jp account on my iPad’s kindle app right now. That’s how I read some ハピネス volumes some time ago.
For reasons beyond my understanding I had to go into コンテンツと端末の管理 / Contents and Device Management, then go into preferences and switch my Region to Japan. I don’t know why it wasn’t already set to that, given that I opened this account while being in Japan anyway and my current shipping address is in Japan.
Anyway, it’s working now.
I figured from ohter posts, I have to add my Kindle somehow to my amazon.co.jp account. is it even possible to use a kindle with more then one amazon store?
How are you going to keep it up to date? New posts or editing the OP?
