How do I start free manga translation?
Click "Start free" on the home page, register with your email, and your 30-minute free manga translation trial activates instantly. One trial per user. During the trial you get the full Moonlight feature set: unlimited pages, whole-volume ZIP/CBZ translation, automatic typesetting, real-time page-flip translation.
What's included in the free trial?
During the free trial you get the same features as Moonlight members: browser-local text recognition, Japanese/English/Traditional Chinese manga translated into Simplified Chinese, whole-volume ZIP/CBZ import, page-flip translation, automatic typesetting. The only limit is the 30-minute duration — enough to see if the product fits how you read.
What happens after the free trial ends?
If you like it, upgrade to Moonlight membership for unlimited whole-volume translation. Memberships use a one-time duration pack, not auto-renew — about ¥29 / month domestic, ~$4.99 / month overseas. If you just need to translate a volume every now and then, the 30-minute trial is plenty.
Do I need a credit card for the free trial?
No. The 30-minute free trial does not require a credit card and will not auto-charge you. Sign-up only needs an email and takes under a minute.
