SumiOriginalThe same page through every tool we could test anonymously.
Tested 2026-09-01: 12 official free-chapter pages, captured full-page as a reader sees them, English target, free tiers only, no accounts, failures reported as they happened. Scan Translator (its anonymous trial refused our test network) and Torii (no anonymous tier) could not be run and are not judged. Method and the full table are on the best manga translator page.

Fair-play note: Sumi is not flawless on these pages either — narrow bubbles sometimes break a word, and a very large stylized sound effect can be skipped. MangaTranslate failed all three Shonen Jump+ pages in this run with the same language-detection error; its result above is from its successful pages. All captures are from official free chapters, linked from each work, and shown for comparison and review.
Captures were taken on officially free preview chapters and each card links back to the source so you can read it there. All artwork © its authors and publishers; Sumi hosts no manga content — it translates the pages you already have open, in your own browser.
