Quick Start

Get from a fresh install to reading your first chapter in about 5 minutes.

1. Install Atahon

Download the latest APK from GitHub Releases and install it on your Android device. You’ll need to allow installs from unknown sources the first time.

Info

Atahon requires Android 8.0 (API 26) or later. It is distributed as a direct APK — not through Google Play.

2. Add the Keiyoushi repository

Repositories are how Atahon discovers extensions. We’ll start with Keiyoushi, the largest community-maintained repo for Tachiyomi/Mihon extensions.

  1. Open Atahon and tap More in the bottom tab bar.
  2. Tap Extensions, then the Repositories icon at the top.
  3. Tap Add Repository and paste this URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json
  1. Confirm. Atahon fetches the index automatically.
Tip

You can add more repositories later. See Adding Repositories for the URL format and details.

3. Install an extension

  1. Go back to the Extensions screen — available extensions now appear in the list.
  2. Find one for the source you want to read from. For example: WeebCentral.
  3. Tap it, then tap Install. The extension APK downloads and installs locally.

That’s it — the source is now live inside Atahon. No system-level install prompt: the extension is loaded into the app’s own process via a dedicated classloader, so it doesn’t show up as a separate Android app.

Warning

Extensions are not sandboxed. They run in Atahon’s process with the same permissions as the app — they can make any network request and read the app’s own files. Only install extensions from repositories you trust.

4. Browse and add to your library

  1. Switch to the Browse tab. Your newly installed source is listed.
  2. Tap the source to see Popular, Latest, and Search.
  3. Tap any manga card to open its detail page.
  4. Tap Add to Library to save it to your collection.

5. Read

  1. Open the Library tab — your manga is there.
  2. Tap it, pick a chapter, and start reading.
  3. Long-press anywhere on the page to bring up the reader overlay and settings.
