Mihon or any of its forks:
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?
TLDR; The developer of tachiyomi got threads from the manga publisher’s lawyers. So he archived his repo. Other devs forked it to keep the project alive.
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.
Persobally I could never pay for a vertical strip, not one is that good, they all lose the plot and spiral becaude they never expect to make it to the end of season 1 or past it, just throwing concepts at the wall. It was fun junk reading in the past, but if Im near my tablet, im reading fullsize normal comics by good writers and artists, the slop just doesn’t hit anymore. At some point I just felt no urge to check my weekly updates and never touched them again.
They also have some really weird systems for charging for it, instead of just letting you pay a sub fee, hate tokens
They apparently made a lady have a miscarriage and dont pay well
Apparently age verification is an issue and needs korean phone numbers too
Dagnabit, and I just switched from Comick when they shut down.
Can’t find it. Could you give me a link to it
