Become a Supporter

Rakuyomi is free and runs on ads. A Supporter pays once to read without them and to help cover the server bill. That is all it is: every study feature stays free.

Everything else — reading, furigana, in-passage lookups, quizzes, passage translations, question translations, answer explanations, the dictionary, text analysis, the game and its review schedule — stays free and unlimited once you sign in.

How you'll pay

Payment is handled by PayPal. You'll be taken to PayPal to complete it.

Good to know

  • When a plan ends the ads come back — and nothing else changes. Translations, answer explanations, quiz history, saved passages and review progress all stay, because they are free for members.
  • Buying again while a plan is still running adds the new time to what is left, up to 24 months. An order that would go past that is refused before you pay.
  • Orders are charged in Japanese yen (JPY) through PayPal.
  • The price shown is the final price, taxes and fees included — nothing is added at checkout.
  • For PayPal payments, you can get a full refund within 14 days of payment, no reason needed. If the service is down for long or shuts down, the part you haven't used is made good. Read the full Supporter terms
