Build a real Japanese vocabulary, word by word. 20,000+ words, SRS-powered, with boss battles and gamification that keep you coming back. A VOCABULARY THAT ACTUALLY STICKS Mainichi uses spaced repetition to adapt to how well you know each word. Words you struggle with come back more often. Words you're comfortable with step back — until you've truly mastered them. Progress through seven stages of mastery: Shoshin, Minarai, Senpai, Sensei, Shihan, Meijin, and finally Burned. When a word is Burned, it's yours forever. STUDY SESSIONS YOU ACTUALLY LOOK FORWARD TO Fight Oni bosses. Hunt for treasures. Roll the Yokai Dice for bonus XP. Mainichi turns vocabulary drilling into something you actually look forward to — a daily ritual you'll miss when you skip it. EXPLORE JAPAN, WORD BY WORD As your vocabulary grows, you unlock Japan's 47 prefectures on an interactive map. Start in familiar territory and work your way north to Hokkaido, south to Okinawa — one word at a time. Your adventure starts with a single word.
