Checked BookWalker, Amazon JP, and CDJapan recently? No official English version exists, but the original Japanese ebooks pop up there sometimes. Physical copies are harder, mostly secondhand markets. Honestly, unless you read Japanese, it's a tough one. I gave up and just watch the anime clips on YouTube when I need a fix.
I ran into this same wall a while back. 'San Chan Kun' is one of those series that feels like it’s stuck in licensing limbo—officially, there's no English ebook or digital manga release that I've ever found. My search led me down a rabbit hole of old forums suggesting it had a pretty dedicated fan translation scene years back, but those aggregator sites hosting them are the usual minefield of pop-ups and dubious quality.
If you're dead-set on reading it, your only real shot is tracking down the original Japanese volumes, either as physical books through import sites or maybe as digital editions on Japanese storefronts like BookWalker or Rakuten Kobo Japan. You'd need a decent grasp of the language, though. It’s a shame, because the humor in the few translated snippets I saw really landed.
The lack of an official translation for 'San Chan Kun' is honestly frustrating. I remember scouring every legitimate manga platform I could think of—MangaPlus, Azuki, even niche publishers' catalogs—and coming up empty every time. It’s clearly a series with a fanbase, but it seems to have missed the wave of digital localization.
My advice would be to keep an eye on licensing announcements from smaller publishers, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. For now, the most accessible way to experience it might be through the anime adaptation, which is at least subbed in some places. Not the same as reading, I know, but it’s something. The whole situation makes me wish more older, quirky series got a second chance.
No legal digital options in English exist. Your choices are learning Japanese to buy the original ebooks, hunting for out-of-print physical copies, or relying on those old scanlation archives that are still floating around. It’s a real gap in availability.

I Was Reborn To Marry This Annoying Man?

She underwent a death experience—at the hands of the family she cared for most, who then sold her off.
At eight years old, Seraphina Valeza was adopted from an orphanage by the Hawthorne family, a run-down third-rate family in Lunada City. She lived for fifteen years there, always careful, thankful for a house that was not her home. She was an excellent student, kept her sufferings to herself, and obeyed them in return for their "kindness."
When the Hawthorne family was on the verge of bankruptcy, they chose survival over conscience.
Seraphina was forced to marry Julian Moreau, the heir of a second-rate elite family. The marriage was hell. Behind closed doors, Julian humiliated her, controlled her every move, and crushed her dignity. In public, she was paraded as a trophy wife; in private, she was nothing more than a disposable tool. Once Julian seized full control of the Hawthorne family, Seraphina lost even her last value.
With no way out, she resorted to suicide.
But destiny wanted otherwise and gave her another chance.
She found herself in the same spot as she was on the day of her marriage.
This time she did neither crying nor begging. Instead, she smiled and switched the groom.
In front of stunned guests, Seraphina walked past Julian and stopped before a man sitting casually at the banquet table, dressed out of place and enjoying the food as if the wedding had nothing to do with him.
Lucien Cross.
The annoying guy she constantly quarreled with in college.
The man who cried while carrying her dying body in her past life.
The one whose love she came to realize onlqy when it was too late.
This time, Seraphina will not let him go.
And all those who wronged her will be punished, without exception.
Dropped Into a NSFW Novel and Immediately Became His Obsession

I woke up inside a novel, and not even as an important character.
I became a pretty background extra in a smut novel.
My brother, however, was the only normal person in the entire story.
His character setting was the one man the soft, delicate heroine could never win over.
He was the cold, unattainable Prince Charming she could never conquer.
When the heroine cried and confessed her love, he was studying.
When she offered him her whole heart and body, he was busy starting a company.
When she spiraled into scandals and nightlife, he was already a billionaire, calm and untouchable.
I thought he would live a quiet, ascetic life forever.
Until one night, I walked in on him at midnight…
holding a piece of clothing I recognized all too well, murmuring a name over and over, a name so familiar that my scalp tingled.
A thirty-year-old office lady, who got into an accident and is now trapped inside a novel series she loves. She was reincarnated into one of the side character extras of the story and meets in person the tyrant magician, the playboy prince, and the clueless female lead of the story.
After Noah's death, what greeted him was an AI system calling itself Black, offering him a job working for the World and Soul Management Bureau.
He has to travel to many different worlds, taking over an identity of some unfortunate soon-to-be-dead dude, and live out the remainder of his new life there however he wanted.
Easy-peasy!
...Right?
...Ok, sure, there are a few small kinks here and there... like terrorist attacks, murder plots, zombie apocalypses, and the like... but one should always look at the bright side!
Noah: "...Blackie, is it just me, or is this good brother of mine looking at me like a hungry wolf seeing a juicy piece of meat?" (°△°|||)
Black: "Don't worry, host. He is just a bit excited due to nearly losing his life back there. You know, adrenaline." (¬‿¬)
Noah: "…are you sure that's what's really going on here?" (っ °Д °;)っ
Black: "Absolutely!" (≖‿≖)
…
~ Many worlds later ~
Noah: "This secret mission that you can't tell me about… it can't possibly be to get fucked by the least appropriate target?!" (°ㅂ°╬)
Black: "Of-of course not! Ho-how could that possibly be, eh?" (; ゚ 3゚ )~♪
ML: Right, right, that's just a very (not so) coincidental bonus. Ψ(╹ڡ╹ )Ψ

This is BL's (Boys Love) story. This story contains some explicit sexual scenes between the two main male characters, so if you are not into BL stories, This is not for you.
honestly, it’ s a bit confusing. From what I could piece together from different communities, 'San Chan Kun' sounds like it could be a nickname or a mishearing for a couple different series. It doesn't ring a bell as a standalone title with an anime adaptation.
Sometimes these questions pop up from mangas or web comics that are super niche and haven't gotten official adaptations yet. I remember once spending an hour hunting down a series based on a similar-sounding fan nickname, only to find it was just a side character in a bigger franchise. Could be a case of mistaken identity.
I’ve been hunting for legit places to read 'Crayon Shin-chan' online for years, and what I tell friends is: start with the publisher and big e-book stores.
Futabasha is the original publisher of 'Crayon Shin-chan' (look up クレヨンしんちゃん), so their official e-book outlets or partner stores are the safest bet. Many Japanese e-book retailers carry the series: BookWalker, eBookJapan (Yahoo! Japan Books), Rakuten Kobo Japan, and Google Play Books Japan often have volumes for sale. If you read Japanese, those are super convenient and frequent sales pop up.
If you want English or local-language releases, check your region’s licensed manga retailers — Amazon Kindle, Kobo, and Comixology sometimes carry officially translated volumes when a licensor has released them. Another route is your library apps like OverDrive/Libby or Hoopla; some libraries offer digital manga purchases or loans of translated volumes. The big rule I live by: if a site offers free full volumes without a publisher or store name attached, it’s probably not legit. Supporting official releases keeps the series available and helps the original creator’s estate, so I always prefer buying or borrowing properly licensed copies.
The 'San-chan' series? Assuming you mean 'San-Chan-Kun'? Honestly, I'm not 100% sure which specific one you're asking about because the title itself is kind of vague—could be a light novel, a web novel, maybe even a doujinshi. The bits I've stumbled across online make it sound like a chaotic slice-of-life or maybe a parody. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it revolves around a seemingly ordinary high school student, the 'San-chan' character, who gets wrapped up in absurd supernatural or school club antics. The humor is super specific, leans heavily on Japanese puns and character archetypes being flipped on their head.
I tried reading a few translated chapters once. The main plot felt less like a grand narrative and more like a vehicle for gag comedy. Each volume introduces a new ridiculous problem—a yokai invasion disguised as a cultural festival, or the student council president turning out to be an alien. It’s the kind of thing where the appeal is in the escalating nonsense, not a tight storyline. Honestly, it wasn’t really for me; the jokes were a bit too reliant on anime tropes I'm already tired of, but I can see why it has a niche fanbase that loves its particular brand of chaos.
