Managing Files via Apple’s Files App

rManga exposes its Documents sandbox folder directly within iOS and iPadOS. Access it inside:

Files › On My iPhone (or On My iPad) › rManga

You can transfer files via AirDrop from your Mac, download them via Safari, or transfer them over USB cable via macOS Finder.

Supported Folder Hierarchies

rManga parses your files automatically following simple structural conventions:

1. Single Standalone Volume

For single-volume graphic novels or one-shots, place the archive directly into the root folder:

rManga/
└── Akira_Vol01.cbz

rManga creates a series entry titled Akira_Vol01 containing the archive as a single readable volume.

2. Multi-Chapter Series

For ongoing series with separate chapters or volumes:

rManga/
└── Berserk/
    ├── Chapter 001.cbz
    ├── Chapter 002.cbz
    └── Chapter 003.zip

The app groups them under Berserk, sorts chapters sequentially, and extracts the first page of the earliest chapter as the series cover.

3. Chapter as Image Folders

Uncompressed image folders are supported as well:

rManga/
└── ChainsawMan/
    └── Chapter 01/
        ├── 001.jpg
        ├── 002.jpg
        └── 003.png

File Formats and Covers

• Supported Archives: .cbz, .zip.
