Mihon Android App (Wi-Fi Sync)

Stream translated chapters over your local Wi-Fi LAN directly into Mihon, Tachiyomi, and Android comic readers.

1. Overview & Mihon App Download

With the official XianScan Mihon extension (extensions/xianscan-mihon), your local PC acts as a high-speed comic repository over your local Wi-Fi network (or over HTTPS via Cloudflare Tunnels). Read all your translated manga and manhua on Android phones, tablets, or e-ink readers (Boox, Meebook) with zero cloud upload.
