Webcomic & Digital Comic Downloader & Compiler 📖

An automated, multi-threaded Python command-line utility designed to scrape, download, and compile webcomics and digital comic book chapters into organized PDF files.

🚀 Features

• Multi-threaded Downloads: Utilizes ThreadPoolExecutor to download asset images concurrently, optimizing network bandwidth.
• Automatic PDF Compilation: Compiles downloaded chapter images directly into single-chapter PDF documents using img2pdf.
• Chapter Merging: Merges multiple sequential chapter PDFs into a single combined volume using PyPDF2.
• Flexible Batch Processing: Reads targets (comic slug name, chapter range) from a YAML configuration file (manhwa_list.yml).
• Caching Mechanism: Proactively checks for existing files to prevent redundant downloads.

📁 Repository Structure

• download_manhwa.py: Core script containing web scraping, image downloading, and PDF compilation logic.
• manhwa_list.yml: Configuration file specifying download tasks.
• requirements.txt: Standard Python package dependencies list.
