Project overview

Koharu combines text and speech-bubble detection, OCR, inpainting, translation, and typesetting into a manga translation workflow. It handles vertical CJK and right-to-left text and can export layered PSD files with editable lettering. The app runs with a GUI, headless server, or MCP interface, using either local llama.cpp models or remote providers on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
