About this app
Makura Book is a vertical text reader for Japanese web novels and public-domain literature. One app for Narou (小説家になろう), Kakuyomu (カクヨム), and Aozora Bunko (青空文庫) — plus local text files and ZIPs.
Text that reads like a printed book
Characters and punctuation are sized and spaced the way they are in print — proper kinsoku, ruby, proportional spacing. Not a browser engine wrapped in an app.
Always ready to read
Chapters download ahead of you, paced to how fast you read. Set your own rules — how many chapters, how many works, on which network, at what battery level. On the subway, on a plane — you're never waiting.
Your reading, not our reading
6 fonts to choose from, adjustable size, line spacing, character spacing, margins, color themes, two-column mode. Every display setting has a live preview — see the effect before you leave the settings screen. Tap and swipe zones configured to match how you hold your device. Ads stay below the page — never mid-text, never pop-up — and follow your color theme.
Pick up on any device
Phone on the train, tablet at home. Reading position and library synced across Android and iOS. Subscribe on one account, every device gets access.
Makura Sync — $0.99/month
Cross-device sync and ad removal. When ads are off, the ad SDK doesn't even load — less battery, less heat. Sync is free for the first 30 days.
