Short answer: in either app, go to More → Settings → Data and backup → Create backup, tick everything, and save the .tachibk file somewhere off the phone. Restore it from the same menu in Mihon. Act while Mihon is on 0.21.x: it is the last major version line that restores .tachibk directly. What a…

Short answer: Mihon ships with no manga sources at all — by design. To browse catalogs you add an extension repository under More → Settings → Browse → Extension repositories, tap Add repository, paste the repository index URL, then install individual extensions under Browse → Extensions. The repository most readers use today is the community-run…

Short answer: back up your library in Tachiyomi as a .tachibk file, install Mihon, add your extension repositories in Mihon first, then restore the backup. Do it while Mihon is on the 0.21.x line — the Mihon team has announced that 0.21.x is the last major version that restores Tachiyomi .tachibk backups directly and the…

Short answer: sort your library into a handful of categories by reading state (Reading, Caught up, Completed, On hold, Plan to read), turn on unread/downloaded badges, and use filters instead of scrolling.

Short answer: match the reading mode to the format — right-to-left for Japanese manga, left-to-right for Western comics, vertical/webtoon mode for long-strip manhwa — then turn on border cropping and, on tablets, double-page mode. You can set a default for everything and override it per series. Pick the right reading mode Settings worth changing first…

Short answer: open a series, tap the download icon next to a chapter (or long-press several chapters and choose Download), and read from your library with no connection. Downloads live in Mihon’s storage folder; a download that keeps stalling is usually Android battery optimization or a source error, not the app. Download chapters, three ways…

Short answer: put your files in the folder Mihon uses for local storage (a folder named for the app inside your device storage, chosen under Settings → Advanced → Storage location), then open the Local source in Browse. CBZ/ZIP archives and plain image folders both work, one folder or archive per series. How the local…

Short answer: in Mihon, open More → Settings → Tracking, tap a service, and log in. Then open any library entry, tap its tracking row, and link it to the matching title on that service. From then on, Mihon updates your progress as you read. Which services Mihon supports Mihon 0.21.x integrates nine trackers: MangaBaka,…
