    Optical character recognition for Japanese text, with the main focus being Japanese manga

    Reading manga is a little more involved - you can't use Yomichan on them due to the text not being actual text, but an image of text. You can turn them into text by using an OCR program, like manga-ocr. If using the command line is too scary for you, check out Poricom, which runs on manga-ocr, but also has a user interface. You can even combine this with a texthooker to automatically paste text you scan from a manga to an empty page, where you can then Yomichan it.
