Manga Reading Tools

Manga, also known as Japanese comics, has been one of my favorite things to read on the pc since college. And a lot of mangas I followed and am currently following are better in terms of plot and is very much updated apart from their anime counterpart.

I'd like to share some of the tools that make manga reading on the pc a little easier:

WinRAR - Yup, better than WinZip and does a lot. 'Nuff said.
CDisplay - The comic book reader which allows you to view images in an archive file apart from the CBR extension name which is also being used when you download comics like Marvel.
mIRC - Old fashioned downloading? I've been using it to download lots of manga stuff and I find it way faster to download here than to read and download on online manga scanlations. Two of the most popular manga servers would be irc.irchighway.net and irc.rizon.net.
File Renamer Basic - When you download manga archives in different sites aside from the IRC, chances are the files that you've downloaded will have different filenames. This is the perfect tool for the job. It also has advanced features aside from the automatic incrementing of numbers to rename the files in which WinXP also does.

That's it. Just sharing some of the tools for all our manga reading pleasure.
