The easiest way would be for you to ask someone to install it that does have administrative rights.

Why not run either a VM or LiveCD on the machine and run this inside of one of those?
If you are not allowed to start a VM or to boot a LiveCD, then you really need to deal with that as a problem local to yourself.

You have made three posts here, you must have at least limited web access from whatever computer you are using.
You can also find places on the 'net that provide 'cloud computing' for little or no cost depending on your personal situation (student, child, etc).
Amazon is one of those places, search for information on their free EC2 instances.
Again, that is another way to run your own (virtual) computer where you ARE the administrator.
That is a way for you to run a VM without even having a computer to run it on.
I'm sorry, I don't quite know what VM or LiveCD is (are?). I'm currently using a computer that is meant for all the residents of the apartment building that I live in, and I am not able to install anything. Something about violating terms of agreement and whatnot. I did find out however, that I can install portable apps to my flash drive, and then if I wanted to, copy and paste the whole folder onto the computer. I think that's called a self containing program? I'm still pretty new to all this, so I'm in the process of learning all the terminology.

I've already looked into sites that will convert manga, but so far, all the ones that I've used have the problem of the large white margin. This is the same problem that I have with calibre. I tried copying the general format of a sample of manga I pulled off of amazon, and tried putting together a manga volume using calibre's editing program, but I kept causing my kindle to crash every time I tried to read it (oops).
