Manguage: Learn Japanese Manga
Scan manga, study Japanese
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn any web manga into Japanese study material! Read online in our built-in browser, tap dialogue for instant translation, and save lines as flashcards with ease.
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. Spaced-repetition scheduling (FSRS) brings it back right before you'd
forget, and fill-in-the-blank quizzes check the words that appeared in the line —
so a little reading every day quietly adds up.
WHY MANGUAGE
• Learn from real manga, not textbook sentences you'll never say.
• Manga-specialized OCR finds speech bubbles automatically.
• Every line is translated Japanese → English.
• The panels you read become your review cards.
• Fill-in-the-blank quizzes check the words from each line.
• Spaced repetition (FSRS) schedules reviews for long-term memory.
• 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.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Snap a manga panel in good light.
2. Manguage finds the speech bubbles — tap them 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.
Whether you're a beginner picking up your first words or an intermediate learner
mining native material, Manguage makes the manga on your shelf the best textbook
you own.
Note: Manguage translates Japanese → English. It is a study tool for learning
Japanese from manga.
