MangaLens overlays one-click AI translation directly on Bato.to's reader — vertical or paged. No screenshotting, no tab-switching, no per-page credits to count. Works on raws, on English-only series, and on titles a scanlation group dropped halfway. Read as much as you want for one flat price.
Bato.to (also written bato.to, batoto, or just Bato) is a community manga, manhwa, and manhua aggregator known for its huge multi-language library and fan uploads. It's where readers go for raws, for series that exist only in one language, and for titles a scanlation group quietly dropped. MangaLens is built for exactly those moments.
A new chapter hit Bato.to in Japanese, Korean, or Chinese but the scanlation will take weeks. MangaLens detects the speech bubbles and translates the raw page in place. You read the chapter the day it lands.
Your series is uploaded English-only, but you read in Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, or Arabic. MangaLens translates the page from whatever language it's in to whatever language you want — no waiting for a second team to pick it up.
Your favorite scanlation group stalled or abandoned the title months ago. MangaLens lets you keep reading the raws on Bato.to without losing your place — and without per-chapter credits draining as you go.
One click from the Chrome Web Store. Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, and Vivaldi.
Navigate to bato.to and open a chapter in the vertical or paged reader, exactly like you normally would.
Hit the MangaLens icon in your browser toolbar, pick your language, and every bubble translates in place. Scroll keeps working.
Most AI manga translators meter you. They sell credits, charge per page or per chapter, and leave you watching a balance tick down mid-binge. MangaLens doesn't work that way.
With MangaLens you pay one flat price — $4.99/mo or $49.99/yr — and read unlimited chapters across Bato.to's entire library. No top-ups, no per-page meter, no credit anxiety.
Binge a 200-chapter manhwa or read a single raw — the price is the same. $4.99/mo or $49.99/yr, and you never count a single credit.
Credit-metered competitors like Fakey charge roughly $8.99/mo and still cap how much you translate. Run out, and you stop reading until you top up.
About half the cost of credit-based rivals, with no ceiling. The more of Bato.to you read, the more obvious the difference gets.
Manga readers care about privacy and account safety more than most software audiences. MangaLens is built to stay out of the way:
It does not log into your Bato.to account. It does not read or modify your bookmarks, your reading history on Bato.to, or your comments. It does not send anything to Bato.to about what you are doing in the browser. Pages are sent to MangaLens's translation server only when you click Translate, processed in real time, and discarded immediately — they are never stored, never used to train models, and never associated with you personally. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
