Sumi is an AI-assisted manga reader for chapters, ebooks, images, and web pages you have the right to read. Most translators paste white boxes over the art. Sumi detects the original text, cleans the lettering area, and re-typesets your language where it was, vertical Japanese included. You can compare, edit, and keep reading in one place.

Click to import the folder 100% flashback 2. Clicking to delete all local data in the settings will cause the app to be unable to use next time, and the white screen will flash back. 3. Click the import symbol on the comic tab. There is no return key. You must import it to go back. Click to view all without a return key. 4. The imported comics are not edited in the comics tab, cannot be deleted, and cannot be read. 5. Comic translation cannot be freely selected whether to translate or not. After importing, the translation will start automatically and cannot be suspended. 6. The translation heat is too serious, the power drops too fast, and the equipment may be seriously stuck, which needs to be optimised. 7. I hope to provide emails or add a telegram group in the app to facilitate feedback. **Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed report. We are sorry for the trouble. Most of what you listed — the crashes, the missing back buttons, the problems with imported comics, and translation starting on its own — is already fixed in the update we are shipping next, and we are still working on the heat and battery drain. If you run into anything else, or have suggestions for us, please write to hello@mangasumi.com or go to mangasumi.userjot.com. We read everything. We will keep improving Sumi. Thank you for your support. — The Sumi team ## Frequently asked questions about Sumi ### Does Sumi have ads? No, Sumi does not contain advertisements.

It was buried; now it isn't. Settings has a Safari section that shows whether it's switched on, and "Open in Safari" offers the two one-time setup steps instead of dropping you into a Safari that can't translate. A new sample chapter: original artwork drawn for Sumi, waiting on your shelf the first time you open the app. Translation reliability: fewer speech bubbles come back empty, and a bubble with nothing written in it no longer gets an invented line. Offline translation got a major quality upgrade: a new on-device engine now covers 11 languages, with cleaner phrasing and full-page context. ### 1.0.6 — 2026-07-26 What's new: • Smoother, more reliable manga translation. • Rate Sumi or send feedback right from Settings. • Fixes and refinements throughout. ## Apps similar to Sumi | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Manga Translator: Screen OCR](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/manga-translator-screen-ocr/id6749008967) | 3.0 (2) | Free | Utilities | | [Neko Translator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/neko-translator/id6780560507) | — | Free | Utilities | | [Scantaku](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/scantaku/id6755928110) | — | Free | Utilities | | [OmniRead AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/omniread-ai/id6777814329) | — | Free | Utilities | | [Suki - Screen Translator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/suki-screen-translator/id6761612804) | — | Free | Utilities | | [MangaPeek](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mangapeek/id6759830907) | — | Free | Utilities | ## More apps by 剑 肖 - [Guru: Flashcard Study Coach](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/guru-flashcard-study-coach/id6757980593) - [Mochi: Subscription Cleanup](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mochi-subscription-cleanup/id6792933224) All apps by 剑 肖: https://appshunter.io/developer/1815181687 ## Related topics [aidoku](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/aidoku) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
