ChaoticXSinZ updated his manga comic reading client.

Changes:

Bookmarks:
I added the bookmark feature. Bookmarks can be accessed from the bookmark item in the menu. You can remove a bookmark by going to it and pressing SQUARE. You will prompted to confirm the deletion. To add a bookmark go to either a Manga, Chapter, or Image and press SELECT to make a manga, chapter, or image bookmark.

Music:
Music playback is supported by adding an MP3 file name music.mp3 to where you put OneMangaPSP on your PSP. I plan to add support for selection of music in the app. You cannot pause music and it loops continuously. So make sure you don’t put an annoying song
