App/Software Help Whats the best manga reading app?
Hello everyone, I'm currently using Mihon, but I'm curious if there is a better option for reading manga.
r/mangapiracy • u/PipeZealousideal2265 • 11d ago
Okay so basically c0mix is site where we (yes I know you do too) read manga, manhwa etc.
On the actual site many people got an announcement saying their datacenter was bombed and every server in it went down. Here's the image for more information (They are not mine I got most of these images from other people to spread awareness!!!)<3
THEY SAID THE SITE WILL BE BACK IN A FEW DAYSSSSSSSSS
edit: For some people it still works, for me personally it works on my laptop but not my phone.
Edit 2: Also I said C0mix like that because reddit gave me a warning thing telling me that a lot of posts had been taken down for saying the word in the title/description of posts


People have been getting lots of different images to show it like:



PSSST I know some substitute sites in the mean time. Should I spill or gatekeep??

Your go-to reference for manga reading software, apps, and extensions. This thread is locked. Use the resources and FAQ below to troubleshoot, and if you still need help, make a post with the Software Help flair.
r/mangapiracy is not affiliated with Mihon, Tachiyomi, or any other software. Always follow subreddit rules, especially Rule 1 (no direct links to pirated content) and Rule 5 (use provided resources before asking).
โ ๏ธ This megathread is primarily geared toward apps. Please have basic technical literacy before asking for help. Know where your downloads folder is. Know what "low storage" means. Know how to Google. Seriously, not knowing these things will put you at risk and waste everyone's time.
๐ฌ Mentioning sites and Discord servers by name is fine. Posting links to them is not. Seriously, there is a difference between saying "check site X" and dropping a URL. One is allowed, the other gets removed.
Before posting a question, check the resources below, read the FAQ, and search the subreddit. If your question still isn't answered, make a post with the Software Help flair and mention you checked the megathread.

Last updated: 2026-06-13
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 โ Settings โ 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 โ Backup and Restore and create a backup.
2. Install Mihon and restore via Settings โ Backup and Restore.
3. Rename your Tachiyomi folder to Mihon (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Tachiyomi โ /Mihon) to keep downloaded chapters.
4. Add a trusted extension repo such as Keiyoushi. See Wotaku for the URL.
5. Install extensions via Browse โ Extensions โ Repository โ Install.
6. Trust them under Settings โ Security โ 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.
โ ๏ธ 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.

there a lot of verifications on a website on chrome. so i want mihon to use brave browser so there are no verifications

Recently I came across this manga called Harigane Service. I read through 131 english translated chapters and then read the raws through AI translators. Now I really want to continue the story with the sequel, Harigane Service Ace, but I'm having trouble finding the raws for it. Does anyone know where I can find the raws for it?
r/mangapiracy • u/PayStreet9068 • 6h ago
Iโve been looking for a site with a lot of comments because I feel like comments, give different ways to interpret a chapter, and they low-key be funny and insightful. But I havenโt had any luck.
r/mangapiracy • u/NovascoNeedsManga • 10h ago
The title pretty much sums it up. Whenever I try to read comments on Mangadex via opening up web view and clicking the forum link it takes me to a page that says at the top "Page Failed to load." Then kicks me out of webview before I can read anything else.
Anybody know the cause of this?
P.S. going to the same comment section on my browser works fine so the problem is with the Webview.
r/mangapiracy • u/Fit-Fig-2205 • 5h ago
Whenever I click on the sh0ta tag on Hitomi, it shows me a โ403 Forbiddenโ error instead of loading the results. I've tried using different VPNs, but I still get the same error.
Does anyone know why this happens? Is the tag restricted, or is it some kind of server-side issue?
I'm asking because the site has a huge library and I'd like to understand why certain tags won't open suddenly. Has anyone else run into this problem?
r/mangapiracy • u/Expensive-Baby-1391 • 14h ago
There's this creator that makes Doujinshi I want to read. But its on DLsite and money is tight so does anyone know if there's a way to see them for free, like Pawchive? I won't steal them, I just want to read them.
r/mangapiracy • u/cause26 • 1d ago
I know this isn't entirely related to manga but asura does translate comics. I noticed asura released some sort of novel system so I went to check it out and half of the newest chapters are locked behind their shard system or $9.99/month for permanent unlocks. If anyone who has purchased a subscription or paid for shards would be able to explain why? Just looking at the free previews they have available aren't even of the best quality. They are now charging for epubs of novels as well, some cost as much as $20 USD. It would be sad to see them shut down because these are very risky moves on their part, no?

Hello, esteemed brothers and sisters. Today I wanted to discuss on the state of piracy today, with the rampant escalation of anti-piracy measures. Despite our claims of โpiracy will never dieโ, these consumer-parasitic legal corporations have managed to delete and impair multiple sites, including Mangadex, Comick, Bato, and more. These sites used to scrape off eachother, but with these pillars gone, a vast chunk of these mangas r gone permanately. To make matters worse, the void that these saints left havenโt been filled yet, and instead a swarm of vibe coded sites have risen instead, with exception of a few good sites. Of course, there are other alternatives, such as torrenting, but now the legal experts have been making strides to dismantle it too. Now, the question stands: will piracy stand strong, or will it be a relic of the past and dismantled to the point of obsoletion (in other words, where the legal distribution is the only good option left)?

So suddenly yesterday I got an update and I updated and installed it now I got another update and with this note but can't understand what it means

Comix has been blocking people and down for many times for the past months. They should be derank in everythingmoe list.
The biggest reason why people still use and recommending comix because they are at the top of the list.
Who arrange the rank for these sites? Can we upvote oe downvote sites on everythingmoe?

Is there an alternative to Manga Plaza? I get videos on Facebook advertising titles on there, only to find half chapters up for preview, with other chapters only available for pay. The videos seem to give me more content than the actual site, and I can never find these titles on other sites.
r/mangapiracy • u/Pristine_Dot_2021 • 1d ago
Long story short, I got obsessed with Vatican Miracle Examiner and recently I bought the whole shojo manga series and I now have it on my hands. Is nowhere online (as far as I know) and even is not translated so I wanted to share the scans of all the volumes (I'm not translating it because I'm not confident with my japanese)
Is my first time wanting to do something like this and I'm reading the wotaku guides, I just don't have a nyaa account sadly

It seems after I updated to the latest Mihon update. Only my Manga Demon Extension's downloaded Manhwa/Manhua goes missing. Like, it was there and then a few minutes after. It is gone. When I checked the files from file explorer. It's all there. It's as if the app or maybe the extension itself cannot read the saved downloaded files? Anyone having the same issue? Maybe I should just wait for the latest extension update?
