Any advantage to using something self-hosted, like Komga, in Mihon (formerly Tachiyomi)?

I believe Tachiyomi was meant to download the manga and view it on Android?
I forgot what Komga was, is it a downloader?
Correct
Similar to something like plex, jellyfin, kavita, etc. Its basically a manga media server. Not a Downloader
For downloading, I ended up trying out "kaizoku," which is unfortunately no longer maintained. Acts as a frontend for a service called "mangal," which seems to no longer be maintained as well... Does the job for some websites at least.
Check out Tranga as a direct replacement to Kaizoku. Works nicely with Komga and/or Kavita as a reader. Add Komf to the mix for metadata management, nice covers, etc.
On iOS Paperback works as a free reader that can sync with Komga/Kavita
As OP mentioned this setup kind if like Plex but for Manga
Awesome, appreciate it.
