Manguage: Japanese from Manga

Learn Japanese from the manga you actually want to read.

Manguage turns any manga panel into study material. Point your camera at a panel and
Manguage finds the speech bubbles, reads the Japanese with manga-specialized OCR, and
translates the whole line into English. The panel you just read becomes a review card,
and spaced-repetition scheduling (FSRS) brings it back right before you'd forget.

WHY MANGUAGE
• Learn from real manga, not textbook sentences.
• Manga-specialized OCR built for speech bubbles.
• Japanese → English line translation.
• The panels you read become your review cards.
• Fill-in-the-blank quizzes check the words from each line.
• Spaced repetition (FSRS) for long-term memory.
• Ask AI when a line's grammar or nuance isn't clear.
• Export your decks to Anki — a standard .apkg with panel image and audio.
• Your photos are never uploaded — only the text we read is sent for translation.
• Add the Offline Pack to keep translating with no signal.
• No account needed.


STUDY TOGETHER, PRIVATELY
Join an anonymous team of up to 5 with an invite code. Share when you reach the
daily goal of 5 reviews, send preset cheers, and earn capture-stock bonuses as
more teammates reach the goal. Your manga images, lines, cards, and personal
study history are never shared with the team.

FREE VS. PREMIUM
All study features (review, XP, streaks, sync, backup, widget) are free — no limits.
Capturing manga panels runs on "stock": free users can keep capturing as long as
they have stock (watch an ad to refill). Asking AI about a line also uses stock and
is not premium-only.
Premium ($4.99/month, auto-renewing subscription, no free trial) removes ads and
makes manga capture unlimited (no stock use — including AI questions).

HOW IT WORKS
1. Snap a manga panel in good light.
2. Tap the detected speech bubbles in reading order.
3. Read the line translated into English.
4. Keep the panel as a review card.
5. Review with cards and fill-in-the-blank quizzes timed for memory.

Make the manga on your shelf your best Japanese textbook.

Note: Manguage translates Japanese → English. It is a study tool for learning
Japanese from manga.
