Download and read manga on smartphone (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone. As the title says, I'm looking for a method to download manga on smartphone and then read it with a proper offline reader (any suggestion is appreciated).

Example: I've been reading comics (downloading them on the smartphone and then reading them with "Perfect Viewer" app) for years and I would start to read manga also with a similar solution.

I prefer to download them on the smartphone (and don't read it online) because I don't have always a decent Internet connection, and when I can access to that I use that to download as many comics I can.

Thanks in advance for all your help

EDIT: Thanks for your help, I'll try Mihon and Kotatsu

Look up mihon. Android only

[–] galmuth@feddit.uk 15 points 3 months ago

Second Mihon. It's an all-in-one downloader and reader, and supports reading offline.

Not a pirate method, but a library card and the app Libby are great for this.

No manga at all at mine

[–] Doesntpostmuch@possumpat.io 1 points 3 months ago

Bummer, the collections available depend on your library. Mine was bountiful. At one point I signed up for like 4 different library cards in major cities without ever living there. They might have made it more difficult to do that now.

I've never used these, but I've come across them while scrolling through F-Droid and they seem to fit this use case:

Kotatsu
Kinoko

+1 for kotatsu, it's a fork of tachiomi.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I am still currently using Tachiyomi (Android only) bc it still works, but the dev dropped developing it bc of lawsuits. There are forks of it as well

You can backup and import everything into mihon very easily. Including sources.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

Mihon

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Kotatsu works great for me.

Here's a list of apps https://lemm.ee/post/20876051

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Now I mainly use Mihon, but back in the day I use Nyaa.si to download and ReadEra for reader

[–] Findmysec@infosec.pub 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm an old timer and was recommended tachiyomi a lot, but these days I just go online TBH. Most manga isn't worth it for me to keep

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mihon (tachiyomi fork) can track and sync progress to mal. Makes switching sources way easier.

[–] Findmysec@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Does it work on desktop? Linux?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dunno. Afaik Tachiyomi doesnt officially exist as a desktop app either so maybe only emulation of the android app?

[–] Findmysec@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah I'm looking for something like this for Linux desktop

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I got Mihon as recommended by comments here. But how do I know which extension is "safe"?

[–] nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Most of actively maintained extension are from Keiyoushi, which is open source and community maintained.

It has 1300+ extension from various sites and platform across diverse languages.
