Tachiyomi creators have officially announced that the app will no longer receive active development. While the API remains functional, there will be no further updates. If you’re experiencing issues with the extension list not appearing, read post till end or visit Tachiyomi-apk
With Tachiyomi being discontinued, many users are searching for the best alternatives to Tachiyomi for manga and anime readers. If you’re looking for apps that provide a seamless experience for reading manga and streaming anime, I’ve personally tested and shortlisted five Tachiyomi -like alternatives. These options not only serve as great replacements but also offer better features compared to Tachiyomi.
Top 5 Tachiyomi Alternatives
1. Miun
Miun is an open-source successor to Tachiyomi for Android 8 and above. It is designed solely for reading manga and offers a superior experience compared to other manga reader apps. Any reported bugs are promptly fixed, ensuring a smooth reading experience.
2. Anomi
Anomi is an unofficial fork of the free and open-source manga reader Tachiyomi . It supports anime viewing along with manga reading, making it a more versatile alternative. However, it also suffers from the same extension list issue as Tachiyomi . A video tutorial on fixing this issue is linked in the description.
3. Kotatsu
Kotatsu is a free and open-source manga reader for Android that supports numerous online catalogs in different languages. Key features include
- Filters and sorting options
- Offline reading from local storage
- Favorites and bookmarks
- Notifications for new chapters
4. Tachiyomi J2K
Tachiyomi J2K is a free and open-source manga reader for Android 6 and above, based on the original Tachiyomi . It is essentially a copy of Tachiyomi with minor enhancements.
5. Hakuno
Hakuno is a cross-platform downloader for manga and anime from various websites. It is designed for users who need offline access to media. Hakuno focuses on low hardware consumption while allowing users to download and enjoy their favorite content anytime.
Additional Tachiyomi Forks
Apart from the five alternatives listed above, there are two more noteworthy forks of Tachiyomi :
Tachiyomi J2K
Tachiyomi J2K is my preferred manga reading app due to its modern UI and simplified menu system. Features include:
- Improved one-handed user experience
- Search bar for quick access
- Various display options (compact grid, cover-only grid, comfortable grid)
- Tracking features via MyAnimeList, AniList, Kitsu, and Bangumi
- Dynamic Material You-inspired theme for Android 12 and 13
Tachiyomi SY
Tachiyomi SY is another excellent fork with additional features. It maintains a more traditional menu system compared to J2K. Some unique features include:
- Recommendation system based on your reading history
- Global update option for all sources
- Built-in incognito mode
- Improved theme selection
Since Taomi has stopped receiving updates, finding an alternative has become essential for manga and anime fans. Based on my research and experience, the best alternatives are Miun, Anomi, Kotatsu, Taomi J2K, and Hakuno. If you found this content helpful, please share post and support us.

Neko Fork – Represented by Miku

Tachiyomi EH & Tachiyomi SY – Represented by Nino and Ichika
These last two forks are for true veteran manga readers. Both forks include all the features of Tachiyomi and J2K but focus on bringing a specific type of content—Hentai.
Features of Tachiyomi EH:
- Uses the older hamburger navigation style
- Special perks for browsing and reading Hentai manga
Features of Tachiyomi SY:

- Ability to enable/disable Hentai content
- Automatic Webtoon detection

Nino and Ichika, being popular choices for Quintessential Quintuplets fan art, make a fitting representation for these two forks.
Personally, I love Tachiyomi J2K the most because of its sleek interface. But what about you? Which Tachiyomi fork interests you the most? And who is your best girl in Quintessential Quintuplets? Let me know!
