Local Source Guide ​

A complete guide to importing and reading offline manga chapters, comic archives, and EPUB light novels in Wammy.


1. Locating the Local Storage Directory ​

By default, Wammy creates a storage folder on your device: Internal Storage/Wammy/local/

You can verify or change this path at any time in Settings > Data and storage > Storage location.


2. Preparing Comic Archives & Manga ​

Wammy recognizes comic archives packaged as .cbz, .cbr, .zip, or .rar, as well as uncompressed image folders.

Create a folder for the series inside Wammy/local/, and place chapter archives or image folders inside:

text
Wammy/
  └── local/
      └── Berserk/
          ├── cover.jpg              <-- Optional series cover
          ├── Chapter 001.cbz
          ├── Chapter 002.cbz
          └── Chapter 003/           <-- Image folder chapter
              ├── page_001.jpg
              ├── page_002.jpg
              └── page_003.jpg

3. Preparing Light Novels (EPUB) ​

For light novels, place .epub files directly inside a series folder:

text
Wammy/
  └── local/
      └── Monogatari/
          ├── cover.jpg
          ├── Volume 01 - Bakemonogatari.epub
          └── Volume 02 - Kizumonogatari.epub
