2. To download a series, ruby get_series.rb 'manga_name'
3. Do not re-download chapter if chapter exists in download directory.
4. Supports partial searching, for example:

2: Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
2
"23 chapters found, downloading..."
"Shigatsu-wa-Kimi-no-Uso-001 is downloaded."
etc

Usecase

1. Set a cronjob to execute get_latest.rb on a hourly basis. (can be adjusted by user)
2. This will automatically find the latest manga and download to your local directory.
3. Thus, saving the time and effort to manually navigate to the website to check if a chapter has been released.
