A browser-based manga reader that uses OCR, dictionary lookup, pronunciation audio, and vocabulary tracking to help readers learn Japanese without leaving the page.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

Readers can load PDF, AZW3, CBZ/ZIP, or image files and work through them in right-to-left, spread, or vertical layouts. Japanese OCR places clickable boxes over recognized text, while the adjacent lookup layer provides readings, ranked meanings, form explanations, and estimated N5–N1 tags. The site says files, OCR, dictionary searches, and progress remain on the device, but the first OCR run downloads about 467 MiB of models and runtime.
