Hi everyone. As the title says, I’m looking for a method to download manga on smartphone and then read it with a proper offline reader (any suggestion is appreciated).
Example: I’ve been reading comics (downloading them on the smartphone and then reading them with “Perfect Viewer” app) for years and I would start to read manga also with a similar solution.
I prefer to download them on the smartphone (and don’t read it online) because I don’t have always a decent Internet connection, and when I can access to that I use that to download as many comics I can.
Thanks in advance for all your help
EDIT: Thanks for your help, I’ll try Mihon and Kotatsu

Look up mihon. Android only
Second Mihon. It’s an all-in-one downloader and reader, and supports reading offline.
I can third Mihon. Just make sure you download the Keyoushi extensions to go with it

Most are forks of the OG tachiyomi that got copyright struck. So they’re capabilities are pretty similar, just slight UI changes. Just pick one and don’t worry about having the best one.
Aniyomi is for anime, not manga.
Aniyomi is for anime, not manga.
Aniyomi is for both. It handles Manga just as well as Tachiyomi did. It just can also play anime

Yes, if it works it works
Not a pirate method, but a library card and the app Libby are great for this.
No manga at all at mine
Bummer, the collections available depend on your library. Mine was bountiful. At one point I signed up for like 4 different library cards in major cities without ever living there. They might have made it more difficult to do that now.
+1 for kotatsu, it’s a fork of tachiomi.
I am still currently using Tachiyomi (Android only) bc it still works, but the dev dropped developing it bc of lawsuits. There are forks of it as well
You can backup and import everything into mihon very easily. Including sources.
Mihon
Kotatsu works great for me.
Here’s a list of apps https://lemm.ee/post/20876051
Now I mainly use Mihon, but back in the day I use Nyaa.si to download and ReadEra for reader

I got Mihon as recommended by comments here. But how do I know which extension is “safe”?
Most of actively maintained extension are from Keiyoushi, which is open source and community maintained.
It has 1300+ extension from various sites and platform across diverse languages.
I’m an old timer and was recommended tachiyomi a lot, but these days I just go online TBH. Most manga isn’t worth it for me to keep
Mihon (tachiyomi fork) can track and sync progress to mal. Makes switching sources way easier.
Does it work on desktop? Linux?
Dunno. Afaik Tachiyomi doesnt officially exist as a desktop app either so maybe only emulation of the android app?
Yeah I’m looking for something like this for Linux desktop
On fmhy there is a mangadex downloader link, I use that python tool. You can add a flag to it that converts it into an ebook format. And if your ebook reader can read it than you are good to go. Might not be what you are looking for tho, you need a pc to use it
