How to translate manga in your browser (raw Japanese)

Step by step

Install and pin the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Open a chapter on any site and let the page finish loading.
Press T (or click the toolbar icon). Speech bubbles are detected on your device and translated in place, with the lettering fit to each bubble.
Hover a bubble to see the original Japanese; move away and the translation returns.
Tune it in the popup: translation tone (keep honorifics or not), font, and target language.
Turn on Study mode to add furigana over every kanji and hear each line in a native voice.

Where it works

Any site: detection runs in the page, so it is not tied to one reader.
Vertical text: right-to-left, top-to-bottom Japanese is handled.
Privately: bubbles are detected locally, and only the text of a bubble is sent for translation. The page and its images are never uploaded or stored.

If nothing happens

Reload the page once after installing, then press T again.
Give image-heavy pages a moment to finish loading before translating.
Make sure the chapter is shown as images on the page, not inside a separate PDF or app frame.

FAQ

Is it free?

Yes. The Basic plan translates 200 pages a week at no cost. Paid plans add more pages and the voice and study features.

Does it work on any manga website?

It runs on the page itself rather than a specific site, so it works across readers. If a page loads chapters as images, it can translate them.

Is my reading private?

Bubble detection happens locally in your browser. Only the text inside a bubble is sent to the translator; the page, the images, and your history are never stored.

Does it handle vertical, right-to-left text?

Yes. Japanese vertical text and right-to-left reading order are supported.
