Comic Rack (Manga Reading Tool)

Comic Rack

Comic Rack is the slowest loader and biggest Manga Reading Tool I’ve seen so far. Though slow loading, browsing the archives is fast. No complaints about that.

Comic Rack nicely integrate the thumbnails of the current archive as you click the screen. Exploring the folders is also possible, but it’s slow in discovering the Comic Books (archives). Though having an explorer is rare.

It’s based on .NET (therefor bit slowly and Windows only). OpenGL is used for interface which gives you that soft touch and smooth expression. The first ever and only of my top5 which starts up and checks internet! (Probably for updates, but without an warning)

Pressing the “Minimal User Interface (F9)” will hide any unnecessary component as for example the menu and status bars.

• Installation required
• NO Customization
• Thumbnails mode, having bookmarks and all
• Bookmarks Manager
• Japanese Support (Right to Left reading)
• Explorer mode
• NO Animations
• Caches archives
• NO Yellow reduction
• ONLY Reads rar, zip, cbz, cbr, no support for direct image files such as JPG

At first I wasn’t really happy having a big .NET program. But it turns out it’s a bit more than just a Manga Reading Tool. Additionally it supports memorizing multi bookmarks and having it localized. The great interface makes Comic Rack a good candidate in my Top 5 of Manga Reading Tools (Comic Reading Tool).
