About

Tsukime

Features
Read full description

Tsukime is an anime and manga companion built around one simple question: what fits tonight? Meet Tsuki, your calm companion for anime discovery, manga discovery, backlog planning, and taste memory. Tsukime helps you choose what to watch or read next, follow seasonal releases, remember what stayed with you, and share the journey with friends. **Find what fits tonight** Tell Tsuki how you feel — quiet, restless, hopeful, curious — and get one or two grounded picks instead of an endless catalog. Time of day, recent watches, and your taste all shape what surfaces, so a late-night visit feels different from a slow Sunday morning. **Tsuki learns your taste** Tsuki notices patterns in your favorites, ratings, drops, notes, and watch history. Expect gentle observations, personal recommendations, backlog suggestions, taste insights, episode reflections, and recaps that make your anime life feel remembered. **Seasonal anime discovery** Follow currently airing shows, upcoming anime, release schedules, trending titles, and what your friends are watching this season. Discovery stays useful without becoming an endless database scroll. **Your anime and manga library** Keep your watching, completed, paused, dropped, planning, and reading lists organized when you need them. Tsukime remembers where you left off, but the focus is the experience around the list, not the list itself. **Memory, not just tracking** Tsukime turns your watch and read history into something personal. After a finale, Tsuki gently asks what stayed with you. Over months, your library forms seasons of your life — a quiet healing arc, a late-night psychological run, a comfort-rewatch era — instead of a stat dashboard. **Manga as its own thing** Manga gets first-class treatment, not a footnote. Track your reading, save favorite chapters, and let Tsukime help you decide whether to read the manga, watch the anime, or pick up where an adaptation leaves off. **Community and friends** See what friends are watching, share spoiler-safe reactions, join discussions, and discover people with similar anime and manga taste. Use the social layer as much or as little as you want. **Import from AniList and MyAnimeList** Bring your existing anime and manga lists with you, then continue your journey in a calmer, more personal space. **Tsukime Galaxy (optional)** Galaxy is Tsukime's premium tier for a deeper companion. It unlocks Tsuki Memory for long-term taste understanding, a Monthly Letter that reflects on what you watched and read, and a Backlog Assistant that picks from your plan list by mood. Tsukime works fully without it. Tsukime is for anime fans, manga readers, seasonal watchers, backlog builders, and anyone who wants a companion that understands their taste over time.
