project will no longer be under active development due to recent events involving Kakao Entertainment Corp’s threats to both myself and others
In the upcoming days:
- Our core GitHub repositories will be taken down
- The official social media accounts will be closed
- The official Discord server will be repurposed into a general community for those who are interested in staying
There are already a few actively maintained forks of Tachiyomi. TachiJ2K and TachiyomiSY are two such popular forks which have several features not present in the original app. In fact, many hardcore manga readers in the community had already switched to them years ago. There’s also Aniyomi, which not only supports manga but also watching anime via extensions, the same way you’d read manga in Tachiyomi.
So thanks to the power of FOSS, Tachiyomi already continues to live on and you don’t need to wait for a fork.

oh yeah, I heard about the already forked projects before, certainly awesome that people already have that option. I do use Aniyomi, and it’s pretty damn good.
For some reason I’ve never felt like I needed extra features that the main project didn’t have, so I’ve never looked out for forks. But looking at some of the forks right now they seem pretty good as well and do have features that would be super useful to me. Certainly will try it out.
FOSS is so amazing.
Are we sure TachiJ2K will still be developed? I really hope Kakao won’t threaten them too.
