Description
Most manga translation tools hand back a chapter where character names change spelling every chapter and the dialogue reads like a manual. KomaLume keeps a per-series glossary so names and terms stay consistent, and tone profiles so dialogue sounds like people talking. Upload a chapter (images or ZIP) and it detects the bubbles, erases the original text, translates, and re-typesets the result back onto the page. A Chrome extension pulls in the chapter you already have open.

Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping translation APIs is straightforward, accurately translating manga requires advanced computer vision pipelines for bubble segmentation, inpainting background art, text orientation detection, and dynamic typesetting.
What it would actually take: A production version requires an image processing pipeline using deep learning models (like YOLO or Mask R-CNN) trained on manga layouts to detect speech balloons, OCR tailored for vertical Japanese text, an inpainting model (e.g., LaMa) to erase original characters cleanly, and automated SVG/canvas typesetting to fit translated text naturally into non-rectangular speech bubbles.
