Here’s a great app for Manga lover. Mango is a free manga reader for Android that allows you to read manga on the go as well as download (for offline reading) and organize your favourite manga titles directly on Android device.
Using Mango manga reader, you can browse through thousand manga titles (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, you name it) from a list of seven manga sites – Mangafox, MangaReader, MangaShare, Mangable, AnimeA, MangaStream and Submanga (Spanish).
After installation, on the first run, you are given a tutorial on how the app works. You are explained on all the functionality of almost everything (some are too basic though) you can find inside the app. Nevertheless, the tutorial is quite useful to first-time users. 🙂
To read manga, tap on Browse Manga, then choose the manga site. You can look for manga based on genre, popularity or artist. You can search manga by title too. Note that you can add manga to favourite list by tapping on the star icon (will turn green) at the right of the title. Once you’ve manga added to the favourite list, Mango will automatically keep track of your reading progress.
The manga chapters can be viewed in either landscape or portrait mode. To navigate between pages, you just need to swipe left or right on the screen. And to make reading manga an enjoyable experience on smartphone, Mango includes features to the pagereader such as image auto-resizing (to fit your screen well), pre-loading (download unread pages in advance), multitouch zoom, touchscreen/keyboard controls, a robust bookmarking system etc.
Now, if you are too busy to read a particular manga chapter at the moment, you can always download the whole chapter for reading later. Tap on Menu > More > Download this chapter. The downloaded chapter will be stored in My Library.
Last but not least is the Settings page. Inside Settings page you can configure quite a handful of options such as enabling the sticky zoom, full screen reading, screen always-on and much more. How about we leave this section for you to explore. 🙂
Besides Android, Mango is also available as free download for Blackberry.
