Tachiyomi is a free manga reader app for Android devices. To get content for Tachiyomi, including manga, manhwa, manhua, and webtoons, you have to install extensions that scrape content from third-party sources. But which extensions are best for finding and reading the comics you crave? In this article, we’ll talk you through the most popular options, as well as how to find and install extensions on Tachiyomi.
Things You Should Know
- MangaDex, MangaKakalot, and MangaSee are a few of the most popular Tachiyomi extensions.
- Find extensions to install by going to Browse in the Tachiyomi app, then tapping the Extensions tab.
- If an extension isn’t working properly, you may need to update it.
Steps
-
MangaDex is one of the most popular extensions. Tachiyomi users love MangaDex because it offers a huge selection of comics in multiple languages. However, if you’re looking for the best possible image quality for a particular manga, it isn’t always the best option.
- You can browse the MangaDex website here: https://mangadex.org/
- MangaDex recently updated their ID system, so a lot of the old links that you may have used to access their comics no longer work. [1] X Research source If you encounter this problem, you’ll need to migrate those titles to view them.
- Tachiyomi has detailed instructions for migrating manga chapters from one source to another on their website: https://tachiyomi.org/help/guides/source-migration

MangaLife has a reputation for excellent image quality. MangaLife has a similar interface to MangaSee and offers a lot of the same titles. It may also be more stable than MangaSee, although both experience occasional glitches and downtime where they don’t work with Tachiyomi.
- Check out MangaLife’s library on their website: https://manga4life.com/

The MangaPark extension is popular for its large library. Many Tachiyomi users particularly praise it for its selection of manhwa (South Korean comics) and webtoons.

Webtoon hosts manga as well as western comics. If you’re a fan of original and independent online comics of all kinds, the Webtoon extension is a great option. You can browse Webtoons online here: https://www.webtoons.com/en/ .

Read Manhwa hosts a lot of romantic and mature content. It also tends to feature series that are already complete rather than in progress.
- Be careful browsing ReadManhwa online, since it may not be the most secure website: https://readmanhwa.com/en/register

MangaKakalot was formerly part of MangaBox. However, as of September 2022, it has gone back to being a separate extension. Tachiyomi users report that MangaKakalot offers one of the largest selections of manga, and that it updates frequently with new titles.
- Check out the MangaKakalot website to get an idea of what is available: https://mangakakalot.com/official
- If you used to access MangaKakalot’s content from the obsolete MangaBox extension, you will no longer be able to look at the old entries. Instead, you’ll need to migrate those manga titles from the MangaKakalot extension. [3] X Research source
