Mihon review
A free Android reader with extension-based discovery, local libraries, and tracking integrations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Mihon is an open-source Android app for reading manga, webtoons, comics, and other image-based content. It suits solo readers who want to discover series through installed extensions or bring their own files, then keep everything organized in a library. Locally stored series can come from image folders or ZIP, CBZ, RAR, CBR, and EPUB archives. The app requires Android 8.0 or higher and is distributed as an APK, so it is specifically a mobile option for Android users rather than a cross-platform reader.
Its reading and library features cover several common formats and workflows. Readers can choose paged right-to-left or left-to-right layouts, vertical reading, or long-strip mode, and download chapters for offline access. Library categories help organize series, while automatic backups support restoring a library. Progress tracking connects with AniList, Bangumi, Kitsu, and MangaBaka; Komga, Kavita, and Suwayomi are also among its integrations. This combination makes Mihon useful for readers who value control over how they source, organize, and follow series.
The main trade-off is platform and sync scope. Mihon has no iOS or iPadOS version, and cross-device sync is unavailable; external tools can sync backup files, but cloud sync is not built in. Panel reading is also not supported, which may matter to readers who specifically want that mode. Mihon is a strong fit for Android manga readers comfortable with extensions and local files, especially those who want trackers and offline chapters. Readers needing iPhone or iPad access, built-in cloud synchronization, or panel reading should choose another app.
