reading manga on the computer

[rockleefan]

hi, i d/l the tenjou tenge manga from bt hongfire, but i don't know how to look at it on my computer. what program should i use to read the manga on the computer? thanks in advance!

Hi,

The files are all .rar. You'll need other software to be able to use these.

Try Winrar, if you just want to be able to exctract the images from the file. It's only a trial version though.

Or, try the completely free Comic Display - it will read the rars, you don't even need to uncompress them.

wow, thanks for the quick reply wyverngirl! i'm gonna try the free comic display :)

[wyverngirl]

You're welcome. ^_^

I personally use CDisplay for all my manga reading - it's just so useful. You can even preview the first page when you are selecting which rar to open next - very handy for keeping track of which volume you've gotten up to.

you can also configure your mousewheel, so that you can flip pages with it or set the thing to 'manga-mode', meaning that larger pages scroll from right to left.

That program is better than ACDSEE? i been using ACDSEE for years. havne't really tried any others.

[carlanox]

ACDSee 4 enough for me :)

cdisplay does also work with .rar files, unlike acdsee, whose rar support is sometimes flawed.
I also liked the 'next-file' (CRTL-L) feature, where you can switch from one file to the next on in line which is neat when every single chapter is in a different archive.

On the other hand, it has no file-manipulation abilities, so it's strictly just for viewing.
I use ACDSEE and CDISPLAY both, but I rely more and more on CDISPLAY.

You can rightclick on an archive and select 'open with CDSIPLAY', something which prompts error-messages from ACDSEE.

Can you read/understand Chinese then? (Or are you chinese? In which case, pretend I didn't just ask that ;) )

[rasmy]

Yeah !!! *show-off rasmy*
I must be a little Chinese with my parents...
I can't read/understand chinese :p
I can only identify some useful words in chinese for programs and chinese forums...

Anyways, ComicsViewer is pretty good ^^.
