Manga Eden is simple application which allows you to download manga chapters from online manga eden website. It allows you to choose the preferred manga language and also to see the status of your favourite mangas if you have a Manga Eden account.
Latest version can be downloaded here. The latest folder should contain version based on the latest commit in repository. Starting with version 1.0 there are both installer and no-install package available for download.
Using installer is straightforward, just start the installer and follow instructions in the install wizard. Installer will also make sure that all prerequisites are installed.
Getting the no-install package up and running may be a bit tricky in some cases. Starting with Windows XP files downloaded from Interned are blocked by OS. You may have already encounter the following message "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer". So when you download the no-install package you need to unblock it before extracting its content to ensure that application can run properly. To unblock the file do the following:
- Right click on file and select Properties
- Under the General tab, click on the Unblock button
- Click on OK button
After unblocking the file you can safely extract it to wherever you need.
Manga Eden is using following 3rd-party libraries:
- Newtonsoft Json - http://json.codeplex.com/
- SharpZip Library - https://github.com/icsharpcode/SharpZipLib
- log4net - http://logging.apache.org/log4net/
- MahApps.Metro - https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro
- MahApps.Metro Resources - https://github.com/livereload/livereload-windows/blob/master/packages/MahApps.Metro.Resources.0.1.0.1/MahApps.Metro.Resources.0.1.0.1.nuspec
these libraries are automatically loaded to the solution using NuGet (http://nuget.codeplex.com/)
Manga Eden is also using some of the icons from WPZOOM Developer Icon Set and the new color scheme is loosely based on Metro pallete by COLOURlover
This tool is intended for archiving of manga chapters from http://www.mangaeden.com, so you can read them even offline. However, most of these websites are up and running only thanks to advertisement and donations. And without these websites, this tool would be useless. So visit them or donate them some cash, just don't let them die. Because if they die, we will all lose our sources of manga scanlations.
