Supported chapter formats are directories with pictures inside, `ZIP` /`CBZ`,
`RAR` /`CBR` and `EPUB` . But expect better performance with directories and `ZIP` /`CBZ`.

You can also place your chapters or manga in both storages and Tachiyomi will merge them.

You can then access the manga in `Catalogues > Local manga` .
