About Manebun

AI-powered Japanese shadowing practice platform, built by self-taught learners for self-taught learners worldwide.

1Why Manebun Exists?

Manebun was born out of personal frustration. As a self-taught Japanese learner, founder Bagas Prasetyo spent years memorizing vocabulary and studying textbook grammar. Yet when speaking to real native speakers, his mind went blank.

“After discovering the Shadowing technique — used by simultaneous interpreters — and experiencing drastic improvement in listening and speaking, a simple question arose: Why isn’t there an easy, fun platform for shadowing?”
