## Description

Manage your manga library the right way with Manga Library on your iPhone / iPad.

Manga Library was designed with one goal in mind: providing the best experience for manga addicts with large collections.

Features:
- Polished interface
- Can handle very large comic collections without crashing or becoming unusable
- Imports new mangas in the background
- Doesn't need to pre-process manga files before you can read them
- Supports .cbr, .cbz and pdf files

Importing Manga - iTunes with USB cable:
- Connect your iPhone/iPad to your computer and launch iTunes
- In the Applications section, select Manga Library in the list at the bottom
- Drag and drop manga files into the Documents area
- If Manga Library is already running, display the settings window ("Plus" Button) and tap on "Update"

Importing Comics - Web Server over WiFi (In-App purchase required for unlimited use):
- Make sure your iPhone/iPad and computer are on the same WiFi network
- Launch Manga Library
- Display the settings window ("Plus" Button) and set the Web Server setting to "Website" mode
- Open the provided URL in a web browser on your computer

## Review summary

Users generally like the app for importing and reading their own manga with an easy, clean interface and an ad-free free version. However, several reviews note issues with functionality, payment requirements for accessing manga, and a lack of onboarding or tutorials, which can leave new users confused.

### Pros

- Allows importing and reading your own manga/comics library on the device (CBZ, ZIP, PDF, RAR, CBR).
- Easy to use with a clean, straightforward interface.
- Free version is ad-free with a simple experience; the paid option is a web server feature and is not cluttered with extras.

### Cons

- Some users report the app is nonfunctional or won't load.
- Content appears gated behind paid manga purchases; free content may be unavailable.
- Onboarding is weak with no tutorials, leaving new users unsure how to use the app.
