A Japanese page dropped on the desk, read, and handed back in English.
This is a real run of the AI manga translator above — same endpoint, same lettering code, no mock-up. The wait in the middle is cut, not sped up: a page takes as long as it takes, and watching it wait teaches nobody anything.
Drag any handle.
Left is the Japanese page as uploaded; right is what came back, out of the same endpoint and the same lettering code a visitor gets. No mock-ups, including the pages that are awkward on purpose — and it is why the names you fix once carry into the next chapter, where most manga translator tools start from nothing.

Small releases that no publisher is ever going to localise.
IndieMost of the choices that decide whether a translated page is worth reading are choices about what NOT to touch.
A manga translator earns its keep on restraint. This is for the chapters that are ahead of the official release or will never get one, and on those pages the difference between a good result and a ruined one is what stays untouched.
A pun that works because two Japanese words sound alike arrives as its literal sense. Rewriting a gag into a different English one is authorship, and an automatic pass should not be making that decision quietly on your behalf — that is the call fan translations argue about for a decade. You follow every scene, in the words that were on the page.
Honorifics, politeness levels and forms of address survive the translation instead of being flattened into natural-sounding English. They carry the relationship between two characters, and a change mid-story is usually the entire point of the scene. Keeping them is why a shift still reads as a shift.
Signage, handwritten notes and lettering drawn into the picture are read where they are legible and left exactly where the artist put them. Painting over them means inventing whatever is underneath, and a page that comes back with fabricated background is a worse page. An AI manga translator that repaints your artwork has not helped you. Yours comes back looking like yours — only the balloons change.
Raws that have been resaved a dozen times carry halftone dots, compression artefacts and lettering that has softened into the background. Text is still found on most of them. This is also the one variable on your side of the upload: hand any manga translator a cleaner scan and the same page comes back sharper, so it is worth grabbing the good copy when there is one.
Drop a page, a batch or a whole chapter into the desk at the top of this page, choose the source and target languages, and press translate. Balloons are detected, read, cleared and re-set in place; you save the finished pages and the glossary carries into the next chapter. Nothing to install, and the first two pages need no account.
An AI manga translator for manga, manhwa, webtoons and Western comics. You give it a page and it gives you the same page with the balloons in your language, the artwork untouched, and a glossary that remembers the cast.
Japanese, Korean and Chinese in; English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Indonesian out. Reading direction follows the source — right to left for manga pages, top to bottom for vertical episodes — and can be set by hand when a file is unusual.
Not for your first two pages. They come back at full resolution, from the same engine the paid plans run on, with nothing held back. Signing in is what gives the manga translator somewhere to keep your glossary and your history.
They hold. A name you correct once is stored in your glossary and reused on every later upload, which is the difference between reading a series and re-learning the cast every week. A manga translator that starts fresh each time will give you three spellings of one character across a season.
No. Only the inside of the balloon is repainted, and the fill is read off the balloon it belongs to, so an inverted balloon stays inverted. Hand-drawn sound effects and text painted into the picture are read for you and left exactly where the artist drew them.
Pepper&Carrot, by David Revoy, released under CC BY 4.0 — a real comic with a Japanese edition by its own author. Every after image on this page came out of this AI manga translator, not out of a design tool.
Seconds. A chapter runs page by page rather than as one long job, so you can start reading the first pages while the manga translator is still working through the rest.
Upload a page, pick the language, and read the chapter you have been waiting on. Two pages, no account, and the only manga translator that still knows your cast in chapter twenty.
