Koharu is a local-first desktop application that automates manga translation using machine learning, combining text/bubble detection, OCR, LLM-based translation, and generative inpainting in one pipeline. It is written in Rust with a Tauri/WebGPU editor for manual cleanup, typesetting, review, and PNG or layered PSD export.
Use cases
- translate manga pages from japanese to other languages
- remove original lettering from comic artwork with inpainting
- run ocr on manga speech bubbles locally
- typeset translated text with vertical cjk and rtl support
- export translated manga as png or layered psd
- batch translate a whole manga chapter or archive
- proofread and correct ocr and translation output
When to choose
- you want a fully local, privacy-preserving manga translation workflow with gpu acceleration
- you need an end-to-end pipeline from detection to typesetting and export in one app
- you want editable, reviewable output rather than an opaque one-shot conversion
- you need layered PSD export for further editing
When to avoid
- you need a headless server-side batch translation service
- you have no gpu and need fast inference (cpu fallback is slow)
- you only need plain text translation without image editing
- you require platforms beyond windows, linux, or apple-silicon macos
