Manga-Mania is a simple desktop application for reading manga scraped from MangaFox (http://mangafox.me). It is written in python3, with the generous aid of pyqt5, requests and beautiful-soup.
Here are a few screen captures.
- Advanced search functionality of MangaFox
- Read chapters sequentially/jump to particular pages
- Add a 'history' feature, i.e., remember where the user last left off
- Improve UI (display app status, search results & chapter info in a more appealing way)
- Provide support for other popular manga sites like KissManga, Mangahere, etc.
Manga Mania has a few dependencies:
- PyQt5
- requests
- BeautifulSoup4
You can easily install them using pip like so:
# pip install pyqt5 requests beautifulsoup4
To run the script, clone the repo and switch to the manga-mania directory and run manga-mania.py
$ git clone https://github.com/TheIllusionistMirage/Manga-Mania
$ cd Manga-Mania/manga-mania
$ python3 manga-mania.py
