All Mangas Reader is, bar none, the single most useful Google Chrome extension for any manga fan. Compatible with about 30 different scanlation sites in no less than ten different languages, All Mangas Reader (AMR) sounds too good to be true when you first read the description in broken English on the Extensions page.
Believe me, it's even better than the description.
It allows you to search any number of those 30 sites by language or by manual enable/disable for a manga. The search function opens in a new tab with your last enabled/disabled settings and last searched-for manga. The simple interface requires only the name of the manga; you type it into the searchbox and hit "enter" and watch as a list appears fairly quickly. Next to each found title will be a strip of icons. Each icon is an enabled site that has the manga you searched for; you can mouse over it to see the site title, and when you choose, clicking on the icon will take you to either the first chapter of the manga or the page directory for it.
Here's where it gets cool. First thing you'll notice is that after a few seconds, the Mangekyou Sharingan icon for AMR will now have a "1" over it. This is the number of mangas you're tracking with AMR. If you click on it, after a few moments a menu will drop down, showing you a list of the mangas and the last chapter you read of it. It will give you links to the last chapter before that, the last chapter you read, and the next chapter, as well as tell you if there are chapters you haven't read via a dancing yellow "NEW" gif.
BUT WAIT! There's more!
Redirect your attention to the chapter of the manga you're viewing. You know that most sites load only one exasperating page at a time? Look at the scroll bar for the webpage. Looks a little lengthy, doesn't it? Yes, that means what you think it means. Go ahead, I'll wait while you scroll down and stare with delight. It loads each page of the chapter on one webpage for you and all you have to do is scroll down to read effortlessly!
The only issue is how slow the extension's drop down menu is. While not excruciating, it's noticeably slower on my notebook PC than most other things; even RAM eating programs tend to work faster, and it freezes up a little at first. However, it's not a big problem and DEFINITELY worth the ease of All Mangas Reader - it would take me MUCH more time to keep an external list and search through pages and pages of bum links every time I wanted to read a new chapter.
I'd rate it a solid 9.8 out of 10 and it's definitely a must-have if you read manga scanlations. I think it was made by elves. *tags with "elves" tag* Why do I even have that tag? *tags with "moment" tag* Because I definitely did have a moment or two when I first realized how FABULOUS this extension is.
