Is the kissmanga downloader working? Did I miss something?

Also, if it is the cloudfare bypasser that's failing, why not use cfscrape module? It was easy for me to use and integrate into one of my projects.

The kissmanga extractor is supposed to be working and it works just fine for some manga series (http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Urban-Tales).
What is failing here is the regular expression used to get volume, chapter and title information.

[mikf]

Fixed extraction for your example and all the bigger manga series, which had a different volume/chapter formatting than regular ones.
Please let me know if you find any other examples that don't work.

I am experiencing the same error on the current non-dev version as well
