For sites that support chapter and comic metadata (Ex. MangaDex)

```
manga-py --save-chapter-info --save-manga-info [-d|--destination] "COMIC_DOWNLOAD_PATH" [other-options...] URL
comic-builder [other-options...] "COMIC_DOWNLOAD_PATH/COMIC_NAME"
```

For other sites

* Create a metadata file based
  in [this file](https://github.com/eduhoribe/comic-builder/blob/goshujin-sama/samples/comic-metadata-sample.json)

```
manga-py [-d|--destination] "COMIC_DOWNLOAD_PATH" [other-options...] URL
comic-builder --metadata "METADATA_FILE" [other-options...] "COMIC_DOWNLOAD_PATH/COMIC_NAME"
```
