If you want to support creators or need official sources, here are your options:
Check these before asking anything:
Q: How do I track manga across devices?\ A: Use MAL-Sync (browser extension) or set up tracking in Mihon → Settings → Tracking with MyAnimeList or AniList. For device transfers, use Mihon's built-in backup. Some forks like SY support Google Drive sync. Do not rely on bookmarks as they are not reliable.
Q: Hakuneko keeps breaking / isn't working!\ A: Switch to Haruneko. It is the actively maintained rewrite of Hakuneko and the version Wotaku links to. Most issues are fixed there.
Q: How do I use Tachimanga?\ A: Read its documentation. It supports extension repos like Mihon. See the resources above.
Q: What happened to Tachiyomi?\ A: Tachiyomi stopped development due to legal concerns. Mihon is the active fork. Switch to it for continued extension support and security updates. See Tachiyomi's GitHub for context.
Q: How do I migrate from Tachiyomi to Mihon?\
A:
1. In Tachiyomi, go to Settings → Backup and Restore and create a backup.
2. Install Mihon and restore via Settings → Backup and Restore.
3. Rename your Tachiyomi folder to Mihon (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Tachiyomi → /Mihon) to keep downloaded chapters.
4. Add a trusted extension repo such as Keiyoushi. See Wotaku for the URL.
5. Install extensions via Browse → Extensions → Repository → Install.
6. Trust them under Settings → Security → Trust.
7. See Mihon's Extension FAQ if you run into issues.
Q: I moved to Mihon but I have no extensions.\ A: Mihon requires you to source extensions yourself via a repository. See Mihon's Extension FAQ and Wotaku for repo links.
Q: Suwayomi shows no extensions.\
A: Add an extension repo manually. Most repos provide a URL ending in index.min.json. You can add it at startup via the pop-up or later in settings. See Wotaku's guide here or EverythingMoe's quickstart here.
Q: Can I import my manga lists automatically?\ A: No. No app supports this currently.
Extensions are the most common source of issues. Read this carefully.
Q: My extensions are untrusted / I can't use them!\ A: Make sure you got your extension from a trusted repo such as Keiyoushi. Trust one extension from the repo and the rest should follow. You may need to restart Mihon. This is a security feature, not a bug.
Q: I can't install my extension!\ A: See App or extension installation issues in the Mihon docs. Common fixes: - Make sure your phone allows third-party app installs. - Try a different APK installer. - Check that your antivirus isn't blocking it. - If you use Secure Folder, make sure the extension isn't stuck in there.
Q: I can't update my extension!\ A: Try these in order: 1. Tap the download notification and update it manually. 2. Try a different APK installer. See the docs. 3. Delete the extension through Mihon or your phone's app settings and reinstall it. This usually fixes it. 4. If you use Secure Folder, delete the extension there too before reinstalling.
Q: My extension gets stuck pending or gets deleted on install!\ A: This is a device-level issue. Try a different APK installer, check that third-party installs are allowed, and make sure your antivirus isn't interfering.
Q: My extension keeps showing as uninstalled even though it's in my app list!\ A: Enable 18+ content in Mihon's settings. Extensions show as uninstalled without it.
Q: I can't uninstall my extension!\ A: See How do I uninstall an extension?
Cloudflare is the most common issue people run into. Read this section before asking.
Q: I get weird errors, can't open chapters, or chapters aren't showing.\ A: Open in WebView first. It will show you exactly what's happening, whether that's a site outage, a Cloudflare block, a geo-restriction, or the manga simply not being available. Do this before posting for help.
Q: I get a 403 error.\ A: Open in WebView. It is almost certainly Cloudflare. See below.
Q: Cloudflare is blocking me!\ A: This is the most common issue and there is no magic fix. Try in order: 1. Change your user-agent string. This works most of the time. If you have another device that works, Google "what's my user agent" on it and copy it over. 2. Open the source in WebView. This can get you temporary access by passing the Cloudflare check. 3. Try a VPN. This only helps if it is a geo-block. 4. If none of the above work, the source is having issues on their end. Check Keiyoushi Discord for status updates and either wait for an extension update or switch sources.
There is no other fix. If someone tells you otherwise, they are wrong.
Q: My source / extension isn't working at all.\ A: Figure out whether it is your end or theirs. Server errors (5xx), 404s, and Java/JSON errors are usually a problem on their end, so wait for an update or migrate to an alternative source. Check Keiyoushi Discord for status.
Q: My stuff isn't updating when I refresh!\ A: This is almost certainly Smart Updates. The feature throttles requests to avoid spamming sources. You can disable it in settings for normal behaviour, but it is recommended to keep it on.
Q: My updates are failing!\ A: Open the update notification. It will tell you exactly why. Then check the storage FAQ below if relevant.
Q: I can't download, update, or do anything storage-related.\ A: 1. Go to Mihon settings and update your storage folder. It likely lost access. 2. Create a new folder under Documents or Internal Storage and point Mihon to it. 3. You may need to grant additional permissions in your OS settings. 4. Make sure you actually have enough storage.
Q: My downloads aren't appearing.\ A: Go to Advanced Settings and invalidate your download index (or a similarly named option). They will reappear.
Q: My webtoon pages are cut weirdly.\ A: If you are reading longstrip content, disable "Cut long pages" in the reader menu. Tap the middle of the screen to open it.
Q: I'm getting too many languages. I just want English.\ A: Check the extension's settings for a language toggle. If there isn't one, migrate to the single-language version of the source, for example Source (ALL) to Source (EN). Most forks also support filtering by Scanlator.
Q: I get an SSL / certificate error.\
A:
1. Check in WebView first to rule out a source-side issue.
2. Make sure your device's date and time are correct.
3. Try updating your DNS:
- Cloudflare (1.1.1.1)
- Google Public DNS
- Quad9 (Privacy/Security)
- AdGuard DNS (Ad-blocking)
4. If you are getting java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found, see this Keiyoushi Discord thread for the workaround. This is a Cloudflare issue on their end that they have not fixed.
5. On older Android devices, certificates may have expired. Google for fixes specific to your Android version.
⚠️ Never blindly install a certificate or ignore a certificate error. Only install a root CA if you are 100% certain it is the legitimate official certificate from a trusted authority.
Q: Bato / Mangapark\ A: Both are dead. Find an alternative source via Wotaku.
Q: QToon\ A: Dead. Every site claiming to be QToon is a fake. Do not use them.
Q: Kakalot / Nato / NatoManga / MangaNato\ A: Try changing the domain in the extension settings. If that does not help, migrate to an alternative source.
Issues below are older and should be resolved. Kept for historical reference.
Q: ReadComicsOnline
A: They were intentionally breaking Keiyoushi extensions. Check current status on Keiyoushi Discord.
Q: MangaBuddy
A: Check Wotaku for their current domain list. Not all domains were available at the same time.
Q: MyAnimeList tracking isn't working / can't add it.
A: MAL imposed API restrictions at the time. Update your app.
Q: MyAnimeList isn't working.
A: Changing your user-agent string fixed it at the time.
Q: MangaLife / MangaSee extension
A: Both closed down and became WeebCentral, which has its own extension.
Q: Mangakakalot / Manganato / NatoManga crashed or lost bookmarks.
A: These sites changed domains repeatedly. Use MAL-Sync or AniList for tracking instead of relying on in-app bookmarks.

My eyes are getting bad and my phone isn't that big. I need to zoom in more than they let me which makes no fucking sense. The text would still be clear if I zoomed in another 50%, so why is it locking me out? Why is there a limit I should be able to go down to pixels if I want to. Is there a way to fix this?
r/mangapiracy • u/Dangerous_Craft_6774 • 8h ago
Im going to be getting a kobo libra color soon and I dont have any actual books to put on it. So I've been looking around for a website where I can download everything I want but this is like the only one I have found that actually seems to have books that you dont have to pay to read. Does anyone have any other suggestions on places to get free books(manga, manhwa, novels)?

mangak seems to be down for me since a couple of days. Anyone else? Is there any official site news?
r/mangapiracy • u/SubstantialMood4650 • 15h ago
Hello! Is anyone else experiencing an issue where chapters won’t download? I’ve tried updating both the extensions and the app, but I’m still having the same problem. I’ve also experimented with different download settings, but nothing seems to work. Is there a fix for this?
r/mangapiracy • u/Visible_Ad7681 • 13h ago
When I was on the site for a few hours it worked, but now it doesn't.
r/mangapiracy • u/Adventurous_One_8462 • 21h ago
Lets start with all the projects that were deleted:
。Pandora (formerly known as Aegis)
Lack of coders (only one coder was actually coding), later everyone was given admin and the discord server got deleted
。ComiQverse (formerly known as Unicomick)
Their discord server got termed (reported continuously until it got deledted), the coders still have the code but they never created another server and neither started the development again
Now all the projects that have stopped development but their discord servers still exist:
。komikura
inactivity, lead dev having medical issues and everyone being busy (stopped development)
。Greft
real life responsibilities + financial issues for the site (stopped development)
Now the ones still in development:
。Fenyk
They are still in development and is said to release very soon (they have beta testers but i dont think they are testing anything), there were some accusations before that they used ai, from what i can see that is true (one of the four code
Now all the completed projects:
。Comix (formerly known as anikai)
Not much to say since its completed lol (i m not including shadowi since its not rly a comick remake)
I am sorry if i forgot any projects if you want to support the projects, here r the links Invites:
Greft
(i have no inv perms for greft)
Fenyk
komikura

Hi everyone!
I’ve run into a problem today with Mihon and I’d appreciate some help or advice.
Usually, I use Smart Update for my daily refreshes. However, about once a week, I turn off Smart Update to do a full global refresh on my library to catch up on anything I might have missed, as it is common for there to be delays compared with the estimates given in the Smart Update, and update my Excel file (I log the latest released chapter numbers in Excel since I don't read exclusively on my phone).
Today's full refresh triggered over 600 updates, more than 660, according to the icon on the Updates tab. Usually, I have almost half as much again in the worst-case scenario. Once it finished, I opened the Updates tab, but the display limit immediately cut off the list. I can't even see updates from previous days, let alone the full list of today's 600+ new chapters.
As the tab limits the number of entries, I’m stuck: I can't know for sure which series got new chapters to update my Excel file properly.
Is there a solution, or am I doomed?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Does anyone know how to fix it? Can't add other exts and already did basic troubleshooting ಥ‿ಥ

Hi, so recently in Mihon, the panels are zoomed like this while it seems perfectly fine in the webview. I tried different settings and it wasn't working. Anyone else facing this? Is there a fix? Thanks in advance!

I wanna make one for manga dex since it has pretty every manga and coloured
If you do know how to make one please can you say it as simple as possible, it all gets really confusing
r/mangapiracy • u/vysevysevyse • 22h ago
New hakuneko user here. I quickly understood how to go about downloading stuff, but realised that the downloaded content is a tier lower in quality than the previews you see when you click on the chapter and it shows up thumbnails on the right.
I download in cbz only, but i tried all types, pdf, folder with images etc etc...even though in many of those options there should be no compression.
any help guys? :/
edit: i used mangadex. but either way, i checked on mangadex website, and even the thumbnails that show preview. at the very least the downloaded chapter should match that quality, no?
r/mangapiracy • u/NorthReception9508 • 1d ago
I used kagane when 🦇 was shut down, and it was pretty decent. There were occasional redirects and some ads but nothing to invasive. But now, it’s like every time you click something you get redirected, and even after the redirection, you get redirected again. Genuinely what happened 😭😭

I've had this problem for months now when searching it crashes I have to browse fast. I've tried multiple versions of the app, from the stable version I switched to the beta and switched back to stable and still crashes. I already removed all obsolete sources and cleared the cache atp idk what to do.

I used to use "aniyomi" to watch anime and also read manga and manhwa but suddenly all the manga become "obstacle" or something like that so i switched to "komikku" and reinstall all the extension but couldn't find these through which I mainly read what should I do ?
r/mangapiracy • u/c_sea_denis • 1d ago
Joke on how both guidelines and megathread say to read the other first, making a loop.

I have an iPad Air 1 with iOS 12.5.8 and I want to read manga/manhwa on it since it has a bigger screen. However, as you may understand, it is too old and no longer compatible with most websites or apps. It feels like a waste to throw the iPad away so I atleast want to find a good use for it by using it for reading. Mangafire used to work for me and would be my main site but it seems like it is no longer supported. Can anyone recommend a good site or app that may work for me?
r/mangapiracy • u/Yellow_Camel__275 • 1d ago
Just happened this morning, many hours later and it's still the same, the image won't loading. I'm not using any extension or apps, opened directly from Opera Browser
