About Fukidashi
Learn Japanese by reading the manga you love. Stop grinding through textbooks and start reading the manga on your shelf today. Fukidashi turns your favorite comics into a personalized, interactive Japanese lesson. Perfect for beginners who have just mastered their Hiragana/Katakana all the way up to advanced learners mastering N1 grammar and Kanji. Fukidashi bridges the gap between studying and reading. HOW IT WORKS Import manga pages from your camera, photo gallery, or CBZ/EPUB files. The AI analyzes the entire page (artwork and text combined) to provide: • Context-Aware Analysis: The AI sees what you see. It reads the artwork, layout, and previous pages to identify speakers and context automatically. • Smart Dictionary: Word-by-word breakdowns with Romaji, readings (Furigana), and definitions. • Grammar Breakdowns: Understand why a sentence means what it means. BUILT-IN FLASHCARDS & FSRS Retain what you learn. Turn any word or speech bubble into a flashcard in seconds. • Powered by the FSRS algorithm — the same algorithm used by popular memory apps like Anki. • Automatically Scheduled Reviews — rate your recall difficulty. Based on your rating, the app shows each card again right before you are predicted to forget it. • Import Decks — import .apkg files into the app to have all of your flashcards in one place. YOUR PERSONAL AI SENSEI Confused by slang or a dialect? Just ask the AI Tutor. • "Why is this verb conjugated this way?" • "What is the cultural context of this joke?" • Text-to-Speech: Listen to pronunciation with adjustable speed. GAMIFY YOUR READING Turn your manga into a game. Reinforce your JLPT vocabulary with: • Sentence translation challenges. • Fill-in-the-blank exercises. • Streak tracking and daily stats. BRING YOUR OWN MANGA Fukidashi is a study tool, not a bookstore. You supply your own legally obtained content: • Physical books (scan with camera). • Digital purchases from other services. • DRM-free files (CBZ or EPUB). Start reading. Start learning. 日本語を楽しもう! - Privacy Policy: https://fukidashi.app/privacy.html - Terms of Use (EULA): https://fukidashi.app/terms.html - Account Deletion: https://fukidashi.app/account-deletion.html
