ACDSee 8. It's rather good (been using this since version 3), though I really wish it had an auto fit-to-width feature. Right now what I do is zoom more than I need, then ALT+RIGHT_ARROW (fid to width), then CTRL+/ to get the current zoom level to stick. You have to do it every time you start reading, so it's not too often... but it's still annoying, and it doesn't work well if the pages are of varying widths.
Other than that it's great, but I'm listening should anyone know of a better alternative.

Since the Toriyama World's Manga Viewer doesn't work any more, i switched to PDisplay.

If you use Acdsee mostly for reading manga, you can set the default settings so that the image will automatically enlarge or reduce itself to fit the width of the screen.

Go under Tools > Options > Viewer > Display > Zoom Options
Set Default zooming mode to "Fit Width"
Set Resize to "Reduce or Enlarge" 😀

well if you download the english version...

pros:
supports every type of format i have come across
special effects available when switching pages
thumbnail view
uses direct x (very fast)
versatile magnifying glass tool
library functions (although i do not use them)
susie plug-in support
ghostscript support
slideshow feature
image preloading
history feature
multiple instance support
3D rotate, pan, and zoom
fullscreen support
customizable background (colors or images)
can be used as a screensaver

cons:
will not read archives in archives (having a zip inside another zip)
caches all thumb nails (good and bad)
uses direct x (if you have an old comp may be a lil laggy)
support for movies (this part seems lazily done imo)
mipmap can make it extremely slow if on (off by default)
site is in Japanese (along with docs)

i haven't found one that i think is better: try it out 😀 also sorry for my lack of description in my previous post (was in a bit of a hurry)

here is a link to the translated main site (ala babelfish)

not really. I read a lot of manga this way and I never tend to get "mouse elbow". over all I'm a heavy computer user. not just using it but repairing them as well. so basicly I mouse for over 12hr+ a day easly

I use ComicsViewer. Site's in Chinese. Programme isn't. And it's basically CDsplay without being a nasty relic. I used to use CDsplay and loved it half to death, but it has some horrible little quirks.

The only problem I've had with CV is that it doesn't as usual support nested archives. Does PDisplay do that? It's not a big deal to me if it does since I don't mind unzipping as long as the viewer supports loose images, which CDsplay doesn't in any real form. -.-
