Japanese stories written for the words you already know.
Yomiya writes a fresh story from the words you have actually read. Comfortable reading, every day, that never runs out.
夜、コンビニに が 一匹 います。この 猫は です。さんが 来ると、「いらっしゃいませ」と 言います。今日も、レジの 前で います。
Here the cat is the manager — a small joke.
Tap any dotted word for its gloss. Nothing is quizzed — you keep reading.
No streaks, no points, no vocabulary drills.
Not a level you pick once. A level that follows what you read.
Yomiya keeps a running list of the words you know and the words you are still learning, then writes the next story against it.
Start by finding your level
sampleTap the words you do not know yet. That is the whole test — a couple of taps, not a placement exam.
From there, Yomiya only ever writes at that fit — and quietly raises it as your list grows.
You pick what it is about
Choose a topic, or type your own.
- a cat that runs a convenience store
- office gossip
- a slow trip to Aomori
- a ghost story
- how miso is made
- type anything…
Every story fits
About 95% is words you know. The rest is new, and glossed on tap.
A sample story is about ninety-five percent words you already know and five percent new words.
Your word list is the level
A sample list. Yours grows as you read.
Tomorrow quietly uses today
A new word from this morning turns up again next week, inside a different story, until it stops being new.
The end of a story says only this.
You read 312 characters. 4 new words.
This story used 3 words you learned last week.
No confetti, no badge. Just quiet proof that reading happened — and an easy reason to open the next one.
Everything else is finite, generic, or both.
Carefully leveled, but a fixed shelf. You finish it, and it never knew you.
Good writing, hand-made — so it is finite, and the level is theirs, not yours.
Any text you like, at whatever difficulty it happens to be. Rarely a comfortable read.
Fresh every day, but simplified for everyone at once, and only ever the news.
Fresh every day, on your topics, and written to your own word list — so it stays comfortable and never runs out.
Start free. Keep reading for the price of one paperback.
