Reading manga’s is an required hobby for any anime fan. Anime’s are mostly an product of an succesful manga series. Now, we know there exists scanlators, which are the anime fansubbers but then for manga. They scan in, optimize the picture, do neccesary translations and put the files up in their distro.

As the distro files are all images compressed into an archive such as zip or rar, you do need to extract them before viewing. This won’t give you only unnecessary files which apparently is inconvenient but fragments the HDD a lot. Also, there is no need when you use a Manga View Tool, also known as Comic Readers. The extensions CBZ and CBR are equivalent to (win)ZIP and (win)RAR. You can rename them if you have too. The cb stands for Comic Book, thus CBZ is Comic Book Zip(ped) and CBR Comic Book Rar(red).

There exists a lot of free Manga View Tools or Comic readers which can directly read zip, rar. Some have support for more than these common archives… Let us summarize a few in the coming week. Yes, the post becomes a bit like a filler post, but well, swell… We save the best for last, so we start at 5.

I use CDisplay, trying out Manga Meeya out now though, thanks for the recommendation. One thing I wanna say, the plural of ‘manga’ is manga, not manga’s. ‘Anime’ is anime, not anime’s. =D
