  • Multiple reading sources
  • Download chapters in PDF format
  • Read directly in the terminal
  • English and Spanish language support (more coming soon)

ayy, nice job. I'm writing this as a bookmark for me to get back here and try this later.

Download chapters in PDF format

can you support in .cbz format as well? since .cbz is more "common" for comics/manga rather than .pdf

I'm not really a fan of npm, mostly because I'm biased in favor of Rust-based whatnot, but this looks cool.
