Hey fellow pirates and open-source enthusiasts! I’ve been a dedicated Linux user for quite some time now and I’m in need of your expertise. I’m searching for software that can handle both manga downloading and organizing, as well as providing a seamless reading experience on my Linux desktop. I prefer having separate programs for downloading and reading manga. If you have any recommendations, whether they’re trusted open-source tools or reliable piracy-friendly solutions, I would greatly appreciate your insights and experiences. Thanks in advance for your help!

    for reading I use mcomix. yacreader is also good and most document viewers like okular, evince etc support reading cbz/zip archives. I use nyaa for getting completed manga volumes and gallery-dl for downloading from other websites.

      I’d never tried nyaa before. After searching for a popular manga all I’ve been able to find are collections that include the first few and last volumes, is this common?

    I just use Tachij2k (Android app), running under Waydroid. It does both downloads and reading, but you could use it just for downloads if you prefer a separate reader.
