MangaLens overlays one-click AI translation directly on MangaDex's reader. No screenshotting, no tab-switching, no waiting two weeks for the official English release. Works on raws, on partial scanlations, and on any language MangaDex itself does not yet support.
MangaDex is a community-driven aggregator with thousands of fan-translated chapters across dozens of languages. It is also where many readers first see raws, incomplete language coverage, and scanlation gaps. MangaLens is built for exactly those moments.
A new chapter dropped in Japanese 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 has an English scanlation 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 scanlation team to pick it up.
Your favorite group hasn't released a chapter in three months. MangaLens lets you keep reading the raws on MangaDex without losing your place in the series.
One click from the Chrome Web Store. Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, and Vivaldi.
Navigate to mangadex.org and open a chapter in the 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.
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 MangaDex account. It does not read or modify your follow list, your reading history on MangaDex, or your forum posts. It does not send anything to MangaDex 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.
Yes. Open any chapter on mangadex.org, click the MangaLens icon in your browser toolbar, and pages translate in place — no screenshotting, no tab-switching.
MangaLens runs entirely in your browser. It does not log into your MangaDex account, modify your follow list, or send anything about your reading activity to MangaDex.
Yes. If a raw chapter is uploaded before a scanlation lands, MangaLens detects the speech bubbles, OCRs the source text, and overlays a translation in your chosen language.
MangaLens translates into 65+ languages, so you can read English scanlations in Spanish, Japanese raws in Vietnamese, or any combination MangaDex itself does not yet support.
