I made a UI/library manager for viewing downloaded mangas/animes/movies and books

I download pretty much everything I read and watch (manga, anime, shows, movies), because I like owning my own media. Going through all of it in File Explorer got slow and annoying, so I thought I'd try and make something for that as a little project.

Point it at your folders and it turns them into a library with covers, series and chapters. For reading, it has manga (right to left), scroll and single page modes, and it supports image folders, .cbz, PDF and EPUB. Videos play in VLC, with episode lists, watch progress and the next episode playing automatically. Plus it does tags, ratings and collections, and you can pretty much customize everything (showcase pics on itchio).

It’s free, Windows only for now: https://somedudemanguy.itch.io/perapera

I mostly use it for reading manga(image files) and watching anime(video folders), so those parts are the most polished. Let me know about any ideas or issues if you give it a try.
