How to set up Mihon:
Mihon is the pseudo replacement for tachiyomi going forward however you will need to add your own 'repos' to get it running.
CAUTION AND WARNING
Repos are installed at your own risk, they always have a chance of being malicious,you should always do research prior to installing a repo on your Mihon app to avoid the worst. Do not come crying to us if you installed a porn repo and got your ass got. You have been warned.
https://mihon.app/ is the official website and should be the only place you download it's APK or it's GitHub here: https://github.com/mihonapp/mihon
After installation of the app you're going to add your repos or extensions.
This is currently the safest known GitHub collection of repos: https://keiyoushi.github.io/docs/guides/getting-started#adding-the-extension-repo
You'll scroll to where it says "add reposition" it will automatically add into your Mihon app.
From there you will need to install extensions in order for them to show up in search results.
This is done by going to 'Browse' at the bottom, then 'Extensions' at the top. You'll notice a red warning that says permissions will need to be enabled, tap on it and allow Mihon the perms and then go back to Mihon. From here you'll install your own sources to view and download manga from. I suggest using multiple sources in case one source gets taken down. Once a extension is installed you can now search for a specified manga and download or view chapters.
