Show HN: Read Japanese Manga More Effectively with MangaRenshuu

https://www.mangarenshuu.online/
2•tike_myson•5h ago
Created MangaRenshuu to make Japanese manga reading more effective for learners - click speech bubbles to see extracted text, toggle romaji button if you want to romaji under the extracted text.

Key features: - Pre-processed speech bubble text extraction using OCR - Click bubbles to see Japanese text - Toggle romaji button to see romaji text under extracted text - Currently has some chapters of Yotsuba&! and Takagi-san

Technical process: I used OCR tools to extract and clean text from manga pages offline, then built a web interface that overlays the text on original images.

Started as a personal study tool that I use daily. Made it open-source after realizing it might help other learners.

Would love feedback from other Japanese learners or suggestions for additional manga.

I used manga_ocr for OCR processes and Cutlet library for Japanese to romaji conversion.
