   I'm going to go against what everybody is saying and say to not rely on furigana. There was another comment saying to set up mokuro to use yomichan with. Imo, that would be the more ideal setup. You not only have access to a lot more manga (that don't use furigana), but being overly reliant on furigana may prevent you from building up your intuition for figuring out which kanji reading to use in which moment. Part of building comprehension/intuition is trying to figure out which kanji reading/word meaning you should use in each differing context. Furthermore, if you can't set up mokuro, look into setting up an OCR and a texthooker. https://github.com/kha-white/manga-ocr The one above would be the one that I would recommend the most.
