Mieru is available from Extras-Devel and I'll push it to Testing as as all the usual post-release bugs are fixed.

Mieru can run both windowed...


...and in fullscreen.


Portrait & automatic GUI rotation is also supported.

I was really surprised how usable the portrait mode actually is.


All submenus work in portrait without a hitch.


Mieru uses the appmenu as its main menu.


Multiple page fitting modes are supported.


Mieru also has a powerful paging dialog.


Mieru automatically detects the previous/next book after reaching the first/last page. Transition can be activated either by pressing the respective paging button again or by clicking the preview.


You can track the magnitude of your manga/comic book addiction easily with Mieru.


The about info-section shows current version and contact information.
