See it live
Azure Thunder is published on BakuHub with the same memory and lettering this page describes. Open chapter 1 and pick a language.
Read chapter 1 freeWhy
Your story is in Japanese. Readers abroad wait for a fan translation, or never find you at all.
With no official edition in their language, there's nowhere to pay you, so they read pirated copies instead.
You don't know who reads you abroad, or which language is worth it.
BakuHub fixes all three: a translation, an official place to buy, and reader numbers.
How it works
The loop · Example
01 · You
Post a chapter and pick the languages it goes out in.
02 · BakuHub
Cleaned, translated and lettered with the series memory. Edit any line before you publish.
03 · BakuHub
Each language goes live as its own overseas edition.
04 · Readers
Readers abroad subscribe or buy chapters, and you get paid.

Pricing
40% → 80%
your share while repaying → after
BakuHub covers the translation of your first chapters (up to $100 to start, growing to $800 as you repay). 50% of your share of each sale repays it, then it's all yours. Repaid only from sales: never from your own pocket.
80%
of what readers pay is yours
Pay the translation with credits, page by page. Publishing your original untranslated keeps the same share.
60%
of what readers pay is yours
For series we invite: BakuHub pays the translation, up to a monthly allowance, for a bigger share of the sales.
Translation is paid once per chapter and language, and the chapter keeps selling after. Start with one or two languages, then add the ones readers ask for.
How each plan works →One page into one language, at $0.40 a credit (the 100-credit pack); bigger packs cost less.

The AI only patches the background where the lettering was erased: tones and line work. Then it letters the bubbles in the reader's language. It never draws characters or new art.
Gets better
01
Each chapter adds names, places, skills and how every character speaks. Lock a rendering and every chapter after uses it.
02
Fix the line and publish again. Lock the right name or term, and every chapter after uses it.
The memory belongs to your series alone. Your pages are never used to generate images or imitate your style.
Web edition first
01
Serialize chapter by chapter in an AI translation you approve. Chapter 1 is free, so new readers can find you.
02
Views, readers, sales and earnings for every chapter show you what's working.
Coming next
Readers will be able to flag a line that reads wrong so you can approve the fix, and see which countries and languages read you. Editions that sell will be able to move up to a professionally proofread official edition. Creators who join now help shape all of it.
FAQ
You keep all rights, and it's non-exclusive. BakuHub only gets permission to translate and sell the editions you publish here, and only while they're published. Keep posting on pixiv, X, FANBOX or anywhere else. Original works only: fan works based on someone else's series can't be sold.
Readers pay BakuHub, which keeps its share (card fees included) and pays you the rest once a month: on the 1st, for the month before. Payout details are arranged with each creator before their first payout.
BakuHub doesn't train any model on your pages: they're processed only to translate and publish your series. The AI provider that does the translation doesn't use API inputs for training by default.
No. The AI only patches the background where the lettering was erased and letters the bubbles in each language. Your pages are used only to translate and publish your series.
