Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't Reikai on the Google Play Store?

Reikai won't be on the Google Play Store.

APK-based extensions conflict with Google Play's content policy. Google might take down the app due to certain content, which the developers wishes to avoid.

Is Reikai available for iOS/iPadOS?

There is no iOS or iPadOS version and neither are there plans for one. Porting is difficult due to the separate codebases of iOS and Android apps.

Any app proclaiming to be "Reikai for iOS" is not by us and should be treated as a scam.

What is Reikai Nightly?

Reikai Nightly is the latest development version of the app. It showcases potential upcoming features, but it's more prone to bugs and crashes.

CAUTION

While it's ideal for users seeking the latest Reikai experience, it's essential to keep auto-backup enabled to prevent library loss due to issues.

Can I read light novels?

Yes. Light novels sit beside manga in the same library, with their own sources, reader and trackers. See the About Reikai for how novel sources are added, which differs from manga extensions.

Can I stream anime?

Reikai isn't designed for anime streaming.

Projects using the Reikai name for anime streaming aren't affiliated with the main project.

What's a fork?

A fork is a copy of an app's source code that someone develops in their own direction, adding features the original does not have. Reikai is a fork of Mihon, which is itself the continuation of Tachiyomi. Mihon keeps a list of the forks it endorses.
