About this app

Developer Description

Read Hundreds of Illustrated Graded Stories in Japanese and learn in context !

Shinobi: Read & Learn Japanese is the first reading-focused app that lets you grow from absolute beginner (below JLPT N5) all the way to JLPT N1—and beyond—through richly illustrated graded stories, daily easy news, and smart review tools. Instead of memorising lists, you absorb vocabulary, kanji and grammar together, in context.

What makes Shinobi different ?

• Graded illustrated stories – Hundreds of short, level-tagged stories written by native Japanese teachers. Art, dialog and narration evolve as your level rises, keeping difficulty just right.
• Daily easy news – Follow Japanese news with bite-sized articles rewritten for learners; expand your vocabulary while exploring fresh topics every day.
• Multi-input immersion – Each page combines images, audio and clean text. Seeing, hearing and reading at once builds natural comprehension.
• Think-in-Japanese approach – Inline hints keep you inside the language; you understand meaning without bouncing back to your native tongue, training real-time thinking skills.
• Smart review built in – Tap any word or kanji to save it; spaced-repetition decks surface items just before you forget them, so knowledge sticks effortlessly.
• Kanji, grammar and vocab together – No need for separate apps: stories show how kanji, sentence patterns and new words work side-by-side inside a real story.
• Adaptive progression – Toggle Furigana on and Off, hide specific furigana and bookmarks important words.

Why it works

Context-first learning reinforces memory through storyline, visuals and sound.

Micro-chapters (5-20 pages) fit busy schedules and build daily momentum.

Gamified XP and streaks keep motivation high without gimmicks.

Comprehensive coverage means one app for reading, listening and review.

★★★★★

Brian Lee Catter

I just started but I'm very happy so far. I don't have a lot of time, so I have a short daily goal which I had no problem meeting with the daily allotment you get for free. There are no annoying ads interrupting the lessons and the lessons are fun and scaled well to my skill level.

Just starting out and it's pretty good! Not a fan of the AI art though

Good app, but be wary of the subscription though. I subscribed and couldn't cancel afterwards. There's no option to cancel within the app itself, as it directs you to Google play. However, it doesn't show up there me under subscriptions. I only have one account so it's not purchased through different means. Had to delete my account, don't even know if that works. update: doesn't work
