Legal
Terms of Service
Effective August 1, 2025These Terms govern your use of the ManabiDojo website, browser extension, and related services (the "Service"). Please read them before using the Service.
1 Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2 Description of Service
ManabiDojo provides language-learning tools, including access to transcribed subtitle data to support learners. We do not provide access to any video or audiovisual content.
Crunchyroll
Japanese transcribed subtitles (time-synced to video and matching the original spoken dialogue), not officially available on Crunchyroll, are provided by ManabiDojo for free and strictly for educational use. These subtitles are sourced from publicly available repositories, where users upload them for community and educational purposes. ManabiDojo does not create or sell these subtitles. The Service does not provide access to Crunchyroll video content or bypass any Crunchyroll paywalls.
Netflix
ManabiDojo uses only the official subtitle tracks available within the Netflix service itself. Access to ManabiDojo features on Netflix requires both a paid ManabiDojo subscription and a valid Netflix subscription. ManabiDojo does not provide Netflix content or subtitles to users who do not have both subscriptions, and does not bypass any Netflix paywalls.
Free features
All users have free access to Japanese transcribed subtitles and basic language-learning tools on Crunchyroll.
Paid tier
Advanced features — such as custom flashcards, enhanced study tools, AI-powered chat, and integration with Netflix subtitles — are available through a paid subscription.
3 User-Generated and Third-Party Content
Some subtitles or content may originate from third parties or users. By using the Service, you acknowledge:
- Subtitles are for educational and personal use only.
- You may not use the Service to infringe copyright or other rights.
- Rights holders may contact us at manabihime@gmail.com to request removal of content.

We respect intellectual property rights and respond promptly to takedown requests in compliance with the DMCA. Submit claims to manabihime@gmail.com.
5 Payment, Billing, and Refunds
- Subscription billing. Paid features are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or yearly).
- Cancellations. You may cancel at any time; access to paid features remains until the end of your current billing period.
- Refunds. Refunds are provided at our discretion and in accordance with applicable law. This does not affect your statutory rights. For refund requests, contact manabihime@gmail.com.
