Suggested Workflow

For sites that support chapter and comic metadata (Ex. MangaDex)

manga-py --save-chapter-info --save-manga-info [-d|--destination] "COMIC_DOWNLOAD_PATH" [other-options...] URL
comic-builder [other-options...] "COMIC_DOWNLOAD_PATH/COMIC_NAME"

For other sites

• Create a metadata file based in this file

manga-py [-d|--destination] "COMIC_DOWNLOAD_PATH" [other-options...] URL
comic-builder --metadata "METADATA_FILE" [other-options...] "COMIC_DOWNLOAD_PATH/COMIC_NAME"
