Your Favorite Series Just Released a New Chapter. In Japanese.
You know the feeling. A new chapter drops, the spoiler threads light up, and you're stuck waiting days or weeks for someone to translate it. Fan translation groups work hard, but they can't keep up with every series. Official translations lag even further behind. Meanwhile the raw manga is right there, untranslated and unreadable.
Our raw manga translator solves this problem completely. Take those untranslated Japanese pages and upload them. You'll get a readable English translation in seconds, not days. The same chapter everyone else is waiting for, available to you right now.
Built for Untranslated Content
Raw manga pages come with specific challenges. They haven't been cleaned up by scanlation teams. The text might be lower resolution than official digital releases. Some pages have watermarks or compression artifacts from the source. The raw manga translation engine handles all of this gracefully.
Text recognition works on raw scans, digital rips, and even photos of physical pages. Japanese vertical text gets parsed correctly regardless of font style or size. Kanji, hiragana, and katakana are all recognized with high accuracy, even in the stylized fonts that manga artists favor for emphasis or character voice.
Skip the Entire Scanlation Pipeline
Traditional fan translations follow a long pipeline: raw provider finds the chapter, translator converts the Japanese text, typesetter places the English text, proofreader checks everything, then it finally gets uploaded. This process takes days at minimum, weeks for less popular series, and sometimes it just never happens.
With the raw manga translator, you skip all of that. The AI handles recognition, translation, and output in one step. At 0.1 credits per image, translating a 20-page chapter costs just 2 credits. That's less than a dollar on most subscription plans, and you get the chapter instantly.
Works With Every Genre and Source
Weekly shonen action series that drop new chapters every Thursday? Translate them Thursday. Monthly seinen magazines with dense, text-heavy stories? The translator handles long dialogue sequences without losing context. Josei and shoujo with delicate, emotion-driven conversations? The nuance carries through.
The tool also works for manga that will probably never get officially translated. Older series, niche genres, one-shots, and anthologies that don't have enough commercial appeal for publishers but have dedicated fans who want to read them. If you can find the raw pages, you can read the story. And it's not limited to Japanese. The tool supports 22+ languages, so Korean manhwa raws, Chinese manhua, and other untranslated comics all work the same way.
Stop refreshing fan translation sites. Upload your first raw manga chapter and start reading immediately. For regular readers following multiple series, our subscription plans keep the cost per chapter minimal.

Common Questions About raw manga translation
What you need to know before you Translate raw manga:
What types of images can Raw Manga Translator translate?
Manga pages, manhwa panels, manhua spreads, webtoon screenshots, scanned doujinshi, comic strips, and any image with readable text. It works with photos, screenshots, and digital files. If you can read the text in the image, Raw Manga Translator can translate it.
How does Raw Manga Translator handle SFX and sound effects?
The AI detects stylized text like onomatopoeia (crash, boom, swoosh) and sound effects layered over artwork. These get translated alongside dialogue and narration. Complex hand-drawn SFX in very stylized fonts may occasionally need manual review, but standard printed text translates cleanly.
Is my data private when I use Raw Manga Translator?
Yes. All image processing happens in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. Once you close the tab, the data is gone. This is browser-local processing by design, not an afterthought.
How much does it cost to Translate raw manga?
Each image costs 0.1 credits. A typical manga chapter of 20 pages costs 2 credits. A full volume of 180 pages costs about 18 credits. Compare that to waiting months for a fan translation or paying full price for an official release that may never come.
