QManga

QManga is a reading application specifically designed for Manga comics. It offers support for common images (.png, .gif, .jpg) and archives (.zip, .rar, .cbz, .cbr). The tool's capable of displaying not only manga files, but also standard graphic files.

It's not wrapped in a setup kit. Instead, you can copy the downloaded files to a preferred directory on the disk or save them to a USB flash drive, in order to directly run the program on any PC with as little effort as possible. It doesn't modify system registry settings, but it auto-creates and updates an .ini file on exit to remember your configuration.

The GUI is represented by a normal-looking window with a well-structured layout, where you can begin by opening a file or folder with multiple files to auto-load in sequential order.

QManga sorts the graphic files on load by default and lets you open the next photo in the sequence or jump to any file after examining all of them in a list.

Pictures can be rotated and flipped, as well as opened in full screen. Keyboard shortcuts are supported for going to the start or end of the directory, forward by one page, and to the next or previous folder, in addition for other commands.

Some customization settings are available for the interface, such as hiding the menu and status bars, showing scrollbars, viewing two pages instead of one, disabling Japanese reading mode, as well as showing the menu and status bars in full screen.

It's possible to fit images to the window's width or height instead of the entire window, keep or increase their original size, or adjust the manual and auto scroll sensitivity. The hotkeys can be remapped, along with the mouse actions (left, right and middle button, wheel).

The application worked smoothly in our evaluation, remaining stable throughout its entire runtime. It didn't hamper the computer's performance.

Thanks to its straightforward interface and approachable options, QManga can be quickly figured out by those looking for a user-friendly Manga reader.
