Mihon Extensions 2026 – Complete Guide to Add, Install & Fix the Keiyoushi Repo

Open Mihon for the first time and the Browse tab looks completely empty. That is normal. Mihon extensions are not bundled with the app by default, so every reader has to add a repository manually before any manga source becomes available. This guide walks through exactly how to add the Keiyoushi repo, install the best Mihon extensions, and fix the handful of errors that trip people up.
Whether you are setting up Mihon extensions for the first time after switching from Tachiyomi, or your existing extensions stopped working after an update, every scenario is covered step by step below.
Quick answer: Go to Settings → Browse → Extension repos → Add, then paste https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json. Refresh the Extensions tab and install any source you need.
How Mihon Extensions Work
Mihon itself does not host or scrape any manga content. The app only displays what an extension fetches for it. Each extension is a small piece of code that scrapes one specific manga website and feeds the chapters back into the Mihon reader. This separation is exactly why Mihon extensions need to be added separately: the core app stays legally clean, while the community maintains the extensions that connect to actual manga sites.

This means using an extension is essentially borrowing bandwidth from a manga website without contributing back, similar to how an ad blocker works. If an extension breaks, it is usually because the target site changed something, not because Mihon itself is broken.
Apps Compatible With Mihon Extensions
Because the Keiyoushi extension format is shared across the entire ecosystem, the same repo URL works in every major Tachiyomi fork, not just Mihon itself:
If you are deciding between these forks, the full Tachiyomi forks comparison breaks down navigation style, theming, and source merging for each one.
How to Add the Keiyoushi Repository
The Keiyoushi repository is the most comprehensive and actively maintained extension source for Mihon extensions in 2026. It covers MangaDex, Toonily, Asura Scans, ComicK, and hundreds of other sources, and it is the same repo that originally powered Tachiyomi before the project shut down.
- Open Mihon and tap More in the bottom navigation bar, then tap Settings.
- Tap Browse, then tap Extension repos (sometimes labeled Edit repos).
- Tap the plus icon in the top right corner to add a new repository.
- Paste the Keiyoushi URL exactly as shown below, then tap OK to confirm:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json
- Go back to Browse → Extensions and tap the refresh icon. The full Keiyoushi extension catalog will load within a few seconds.

Tip: A few alternate repositories exist for niche sources not covered by Keiyoushi, including Yuzono and Kavita. Most readers never need these, but they follow the exact same add-repository process above.
Installing Individual Mihon Extensions
Once the repository is added, the Extensions tab fills with every available source. Quality varies depending entirely on the target website, since the extension simply mirrors whatever that site provides, including its uptime and content gaps. A few things worth keeping in mind before installing:
- An extension only works if its target website is online. If the site goes down or gets blocked in your region, the extension stops functioning until the site recovers.
- The content inside an extension is identical to what the source website shows, including duplicate uploads or inconsistent chapter numbering.
- Extensions for smaller or less popular sites are maintained less frequently and break more often than extensions for large sites like MangaDex.
- Go to Browse → Extensions and search for the manga source by name.
- Tap the download icon next to the extension to install it.
- Once installed, tap the shield icon to trust the extension. This step is required before any chapters will load.
- Tap the extension again to browse and add manga directly to your library.
Best Mihon Extensions in 2026
These sources have the strongest ongoing maintenance through the Keiyoushi repo and are the most reliable starting point for new readers:
For a wider breakdown of every available source category, the dedicated Tachiyomi extensions guide covers the full Keiyoushi catalog in more depth.
Browsing Mihon Extensions by Category
The Keiyoushi catalog groups Mihon extensions loosely by content type rather than by genre, which makes the Extensions tab a little overwhelming the first time you scroll through it. Knowing which category covers what helps narrow down the search instead of installing sources at random.
| Category | Manga & Manhwa General |
|---|---|
| Top Sources | MangaDex, MangaBuddy, MangaKatana, ComicK |
| Category | Manhwa & Webtoon Focused |
| Top Sources | Toonily, Asura Scans, Reaper Scans |
| Category | Light Novel Adjacent |
| Top Sources | Smaller niche extensions, varies by region |
| Category | Doujinshi & Adult (18+) |
| Top Sources | Filtered separately, requires manual toggle in settings |
Adult content sources are hidden behind a content filter by default. If a search result for an 18+ source is not appearing in the Extensions tab, the filter toggle in Settings → Browse → Show NSFW sources needs to be enabled first. This is a deliberate safety default, not a bug in the repository.
Migrating Mihon Extensions from Tachiyomi
Readers coming over from the original Tachiyomi app often assume their extensions need to be reinstalled manually one by one, but the process is actually built into the backup system. Since both apps share the identical .tachibk format and the same Keiyoushi repository, migration mostly takes care of itself.
- Create a backup in Tachiyomi first. Open Tachiyomi, go to More → Settings → Backup → Create backup, and save the file somewhere accessible like Downloads or Google Drive.
- Restore that backup inside Mihon. Open Mihon, go to More → Settings → Backup → Restore backup, and select the same
.tachibkfile. Your library, categories, and reading history come back immediately. - Re-add the Keiyoushi repository. The backup restores your library entries but not the repository URL itself, so the Extension repos step from earlier in this guide still needs to be done once inside Mihon.
- Reinstall and trust each extension. Mihon will show which sources your restored library expects. Install the matching extensions from Browse and tap the shield icon on each one to trust it.
Why extensions are not part of the backup: Extension files are excluded from .tachibk backups intentionally, since bundling third-party scraper code directly into a backup file would create the same legal exposure that affected the original Tachiyomi project. Keeping extensions separate from backups is what allows Mihon to stay distributable.
Extension Permissions and Safety Notes
Because Mihon extensions are community-built and not reviewed by any central app store, a few safety habits go a long way toward keeping your setup clean and reliable.
- Only add repositories from sources you recognize. The Keiyoushi URL listed in this guide is the official, widely trusted repository. Random repo links shared in unofficial forums or chat groups carry more risk and are far less actively maintained.
- Trust extensions individually, not automatically. The shield icon step exists specifically so each extension is reviewed before it can run, rather than every install gaining permissions silently.
- Keep extensions updated. An outdated extension is more likely to break against a changed website, and in rare cases an unmaintained extension can return broken redirect links rather than actual manga content.
- Uninstall extensions you no longer use. Fewer installed sources means a smaller surface area to troubleshoot when something in the Browse tab misbehaves.
None of this makes Mihon extensions inherently unsafe to use. The same Keiyoushi system has been the backbone of the Tachiyomi ecosystem for years across millions of installs, and Mihon itself never executes extension code outside the sandboxed scraping logic each extension is built for.
Troubleshooting Mihon Extensions
A small number of issues account for almost every problem readers run into with Mihon extensions. Work through these in order if something is not working correctly.
This means no repository has been added yet. Mihon ships with zero extensions by default, so an empty Browse tab on first launch is expected behavior, not a bug. Follow the Keiyoushi repo steps above to populate the list.
Go to Browse → Extensions and check for an update badge next to the affected source. Keiyoushi pushes patches regularly when a target website changes its structure, so updating usually resolves the issue within a day or two of it breaking.
Double-check the URL was copied exactly, with no extra spaces or line breaks. The full address must end in index.min.json. A weak connection can also cause the add step to time out, so retry on stable WiFi if it fails the first time.
Make sure the shield icon has been tapped to trust the extension after installing. Untrusted extensions appear in the list but will not load any content until they are explicitly trusted. This is a deliberate security step, not an error.
Mihon Extensions vs Other Repo Systems
Keiyoushi is not the only repository in the ecosystem, but it is by far the most relevant for general manga reading. Here is how it compares to the smaller alternatives:
| Repository | Coverage | Maintenance | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keiyoushi | Hundreds of sources | Very active | General manga and manhwa reading |
| Yuzono | Small, niche sources | Limited | Sources not covered by Keiyoushi |
| Kavita | Self-hosted libraries | Active | Readers running their own server |
For most readers, adding only the Keiyoushi repo covers every common source. The alternate repositories above exist mainly as supplements for edge cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Open Mihon, tap Browse, then tap the settings icon and select Extension repos. Tap the plus button and paste the Keiyoushi repository URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json. Tap Add, then go to Browse → Extensions to install individual sources.
This usually means no extension repository has been added yet, since Mihon does not come with built-in extensions by default. Add the Keiyoushi repo in Settings → Browse → Extension repos, then refresh the Extensions tab.
Keiyoushi is the most comprehensive and widely used extension repository for Mihon in 2026, maintained by the open-source community. Other repositories such as Yuzono and Kavita exist for specific niche sources.
Yes. Mihon uses the exact same Keiyoushi extension system that Tachiyomi used. Any extension that worked in Tachiyomi works identically in Mihon, and the same repo URL applies to both apps. The full Tachiyomi extensions guide covers the original setup in more detail.
Extensions break when the source website changes its structure, or when Cloudflare protection blocks the request. Updating extensions through Browse → Extensions usually resolves this, since Keiyoushi pushes regular patches when a site changes.
Summary: Setting Up Mihon Extensions
Getting Mihon extensions working takes one repository add and a couple of taps. Add the Keiyoushi URL in Settings → Browse → Extension repos, refresh the Extensions tab, then install and trust whichever sources you read from regularly.
If a source ever stops working, check for an update first since most breakages get patched within days. For a fresh manga source guide or a Tachiyomi comparison, the Mihon overview covers everything else the app offers beyond extensions.
