I know this is not a Christian community, but I recently discovered Tachiyomi looking for alternatives to Saikou and a good alternative to read manga (which I don't do much, but it makes me curious) is Tachiyomi and although installing extensions is really simple the vast majority have NSFW content (or hentai?) and Jesus, I want to look for Pokemon manga and if I install extensions randomly I end up finding things I'd rather not have seen before, and many SFW extensions "don't work" or give an error that something went wrong.

MangaDex is my top one.

(Edited it misspelled is without a n)

MagaDex must be where all the bootleg far right speeches are

I can confirm, it has very good content!

Xirup's phone is hentai free. Lookin for it? Leave. hentai-free

Jokes aside, mangakakalot, mangalife, and manganato seem to work well and have a wide selection. If they're not working for you, maybe try a fresh install?

If you're delving into bootlegs, you might just need to be prepared to run into NSFW content, though.

Couple of questions before I recommend:

  1. Manga only? or are you also interested in manhwa?

  2. What about extensions which have both sfw and nsfw? Are you fine with those?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
  1. Yes, only manga.
  2. I have no problem if the extension has NSFW mixed with SFW, the problem is that most of them I tried only had weird hentai Pokemon manga. So yes!

Try manga reader, manganato, and bato

TCB scans only has a few manga (top shounen jump stuff like one piece, aot, black clover, etc.), but it's really good for those.

I will check them out, thanks for the help.

Really good suggestions, good to know

If you are into self hosting there is a very good tachiyomi plugin for Komga which is a manga and comics server you can self host and fill with your own content, it also supports connecting to multiple servers.

I have 2 Komga instances running on my home server (one for normal manga and one for the.. other kind), content is collected by FMD2 which automatically downloads series I have set to monitor (similar to sonarr but less polished). then in tachiyomi I have access to all of that content streamed across the web to my phone and boox e-reader anywhere in the world. it's pretty neat but the only missing feature is synchronising read status and position across devices.

I just did a quick search with the extensions that I have installed. The ones I found that gave the best search results were bato.to, mangadex, mangakakalot, and manganato. A few of these I have found scans that weren't up to date, but I have a feeling most Pokémon manga are already going to be complete.

I hope this helps!

Mangadex works great, I will try the others to see if they also have as good results.

Why don't you just disable 18+ sources in the settings? Look at the Browse submenu.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have no problem with NSFW content, since I won't see it so I don't care that it's there. In general there are so many extensions that I just wanted some "general extension" that has everything, so I asked here because I installed about 15 and most of them had only NSFW content or not work at all, so maybe someone here knew more than me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That option should solve your issue.

My go to is discovering comics outside of tachiyomi and then searching them inside. For most manga that exists on webpages like mangahere or mangakakalot, the first or last page tells you which scanlators did it, and in most cases there's an extension to their direct webpage. You can then add that extension and migrate the comic.

Also, you can go to settings, browse, and untick the option for +18 content sources. Those extensions should dissappear.
