@En5an En5an released this 04 Nov 09:32

First public beta of EnManga, a manga/comic reader for the PS Vita for files you already have on your memory card. No online sources, no downloads, just your own collection.

Heads-up: this is a hobby project and it's vibe coded. Almost all of the code and docs were written by an AI assistant (Claude) from my descriptions and bug reports. I've tested it on my own Vita, but it hasn't been tried on many setups yet, so expect bugs. Reports are very welcome.

Highlights

Library

  • One cover per series (from cover.jpg or the first volume), optional animated cover.gif
  • Understands messy folders: loose v01…v14 files become one series, long names shown as Vol. 2
  • Grid, compact grid or list, with sorting, filters, search, categories and history

Reader

  • Right to left, left to right, vertical, webtoon and long strip with auto-scroll
  • Fit screen / width / height, smart fit, two-page spreads, split or rotate wide pages, border cropping
  • Pinch and double-tap zoom, page tone, colour filters, brightness swipe on the screen edge
  • Tap zones with a custom 3×3 grid, bookmarks, reading presets per series

Screen and controls

  • Portrait mode for the whole app, auto-rotate with a lock, last orientation remembered
  • Rear touchpad: tap to turn the page, drag to scroll (top half only in portrait)

Looks

  • Dark, Black and Light themes, 12 accent colours or a custom one from a colour picker

Tools for your computer (in the source code zip, under converter/)

  • Converter: turns WebP manga into JPG, which the Vita can read
  • Cover Animator: makes a small animated cover.gif from a still cover
