Libraries

The Library is the directory where manga (and books) are stored and will be scanned by Bunko Shelf. Its location depends on the option you chose for your Bunko Shelf instance (local or in the cloud), although internally they have the same structure.

The structure must follow the same pattern shown in the example below so that Bunko Shelf can correctly recognize and scan the files stored in the library.

library/
├── manga/
│   ├── Manga Name/
│   │   ├── Manga Name - Volume 1.cbz
│   │   ├── Manga Name - Volume 2.cbz
│   │   └── Manga Name - Volume 3.cbz
│   └── Manga Name [oneshot]/
│       └── Manga Name.cbz
└── books/

Oneshot Manga

Although series and oneshots share the same folder structure, their internal treatment is different. For Bunko Shelf to recognize a title as a oneshot, simply add the suffix [oneshot] to the name of the directory that contains it. If the manga is added via the user interface, this suffix will be added automatically.

library/ is the root directory of the library.
library/manga/ is the subdirectory where all manga are stored.
library/books/ is the subdirectory reserved for books (coming soon).
Each subdirectory inside library/manga/ represents a different series or oneshot.
Each file inside a series (or oneshot) represents a volume of the manga.
