How it works
You add the pages. OpenManga does the rest.

It spots every speech bubble, caption and sound effect on the page, even in crowded, colorful artwork.
It reads each line in context, so the tone and who's talking come through.

The translation is placed right back in the original bubble. Everything else on the page stays untouched.
Inside the app
A clean, simple app that lets the manga take center stage. Tap a feature to see it on the phone.
Add pages from your photos, camera or files, up to 60 at a time. Choose your language and your AI right there, and see what it will cost before you start.
Pick from Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok or Kimi. Each one has its own style, and you can see what it costs per page, from 1 to 5 credits, before you choose.
Swipe through your pages and flip between Original and Translated. Tap any bubble to see the original line next to the translation, and which AI wrote it.
Tap play and a character voice reads the line out loud: the original in Japanese, or the translation in your language. Meet gentle Haruka, bright and bubbly Mirai, hot-blooded Taiga and cool Shizuka.
