Manuscript Notebook is a Japanese novel writing editor that allows you to write in vertical format. Organize your work, chapters, and stories, and manage the main text, plot, and character/setting notes all in one place.
■ Vertical and Horizontal Writing
Directly edit the vertical text, move the caret, select ranges, and input Japanese. Switch to horizontal writing is also possible. Supports ruby text, emphasis marks, and vertical-text alignment.
■ Character Count and Writing Record
Choose whether to include spaces and line breaks in the character count, convert to 400-character manuscript paper, and check daily character counts and consecutive days. Pasting, importing, and version restoration do not add to the new character count.
■ Manuscript Management
Supports automatic saving after input, version history, and recovery of unfinished work. Use the table of contents, notes, search and replace, and notation check for your work.
■ Export and Backup
Save backups as text, manuscript paper PDF, JSON, or ZIP from your device's file selection screen. Loading a backup adds the original work as a new one while preserving the original.
■ Manuscript Notebook Plus
Plus offers PDF submission formats, vertical EPUB formatting, long-term writing logs, home screen widgets, and additional fonts and paper colors. Purchase and restoration are handled through Google Play.
■ Writing Environment
You can set the font (Mincho/Gothic), font size, line spacing, number of characters per line, paper color, and dark mode. Device authentication lock and customizable writing reminders are available.
Account registration is not required. Manuscripts are saved on your device. Live syncing with iCloud is not available in the Android version. Purchases for the iOS version and Google Play are separate.

I write novels in vertical writing format, checking furigana (pronunciation guides), character count, and manuscript paper conversion. I also manage the history of my works and editions.
