HOW IT WORKS

01

Start Your Shift

You run a konbini. Customers line up with items to buy, and each one shows a Japanese character or word you need to read — kana or kanji.

THE SETUP
02

Serve Customers

Match the reading before time runs out — and hear it in native Japanese. Correct answers earn points and tips; tricky cards come back automatically until they stick.

THE GAMEPLAY
03

Chase Highscores

Stack shift buffs, trigger konbini events, collect gacha helpers, draw shrine fortunes and survive boss customers. The roguelike systems make every run different.

THE HOOK
PLAY FOR FUN. LEARN ALONG THE WAY.

Write Kanji by Hand

Reading isn't enough. Trace every character in the correct stroke order — with guides that fade as you master it, all the way to N1.

    Correct stroke order

    Every stroke is checked in the right sequence and direction — the way Japanese is actually written.

  • auto_fix_high

    Guides that fade

    Start by tracing over a full outline. As you improve, the guides disappear until you're writing from memory.

    Kana to N1

Write It by Hand

A dedicated 書き取り mode: trace kana and all 2,126 kanji stroke by stroke. Recognition is good — writing makes it permanent.

Smart Reviews

Scheduling powered by the Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler (FSRS). Reviews adapt to your memory — cards you struggle with come back sooner, mastered cards space out, and progress is tracked per character.

record_voice_over

Native Voice

Every word and character is voiced in native Japanese. Tap Listen on any card to hear exactly how it sounds.

Cards That Grow With You

Every kana is drawn as a konbini item — shapes that match the character, not random pictures. Hints (picture, kana, romaji) fall away as you master each word, until you're reading pure Japanese.

Visual Curses

Boss effects that test your memory under pressure — blur, flip, shrink and more. Master your cards when it counts.
