    Mihon or any of its forks:

    • Komikku
    • Yokai
    • TachiyomiAZ
    • TachiyomiSY
    • TachiyomiJ2K

    Note you will need to add the extensions manually but that’s pretty easy to do. This is to avoid DMCA issues like what happened a few months ago with Tachiyomi and now Kotatsu (same company that took down both FYI)

      What is the story with all the forks?

      That was a reason i liked kotatsu. It was also on fdroid. Because i didnt like the fact of installing random apks for adding source. Sad its gone

        Unfortunately that’s also the primary reason Kotatsu was targeted and shutdown

        Bundling the sources with the app has become very risky because one specific multi-billion dollar Korean company (Kakao) has openly made it their mission to hunt down these apps’ creators and nobody can stop them. They literally brag on Twitter about it and everything.

        So the best way to avoid litigation and ensure longevity at the moment is to completely separate the app/reader from the actual sources of content.

        But it’s not that inconvenient. Once you add the repository url you can see all the available extensions in-app and download the ones you want. They are also updated automatically so it’s not that involved after the initial setup.

        All Mihon forks also have an update checker so you’ll pretty easily keep the main app updated as well.
