All apps that display manga or webtoons and are on the Google Play Store must remove explicit content. The Lezhin and Shonen Jump apps already follow these rules, but it is not yet known what kind of content has been removed compared to the version available on the official websites.

If you like reading manga on your smartphone but also enjoy stories with adult content, unfortunately Google doesn’t want you to view them on your phone.
