Ask for manga or anime. From people who actually read and watch.
Tsundoku is a chat app for finding manga and anime — recommendations backed by real forum quotes and community scores, and it keeps your AniList library in sync as you go, including automatic tracking on Crunchyroll.
Sign in with your AniList account — that's the whole setup.
The same modern-shonen bite, but Fujimoto plays by nobody's rules.
“JJK is great but CSM is genuinely unpredictable — I gasped out loud more than once.” — forum reader · ▲18
A complete epic — 108 chapters, zero filler, and it sticks the landing.
“FMA gives you that One Piece feeling of a huge journey, and it actually ends — perfectly.” — forum reader · ▲24
The only ink on the shelf that stands next to Miura's.
“Vagabond is the answer every time this gets asked. The brushwork alone is worth it.” — forum reader · ▲31
A slow-burn thriller where every reveal is earned.
“Urasawa does what AoT does — makes you suspect everyone — but with surgical precision.” — forum reader · ▲22
The same razor-sharp ink work, pointed at something much bleaker.
“It scratched the exact same itch for me — gorgeous art and it goes way darker.” — forum reader · ▲12
How it works
- You describe what you want to read or watch, in plain words — a manga/anime toggle keeps the answers in the right medium.
- It searches AniList and MyAnimeList forum threads and reads them.
- It checks your AniList library and your own notes on what you liked.
- You get recommendations — each with the quote, the score, and the reason.
Every recommendation shows its sources
- A real quote from the forum thread it came from, linked.
- The community score from AniList, labeled.
- Why it fits you, based on your history and notes.
It learns your taste — in your words
Tsundoku builds a picture of what you actually like and weighs every recommendation against it — shaped by you, never guessed from stars.
- A quick taste session to start — pick a few titles you have opinions on and say why; it drafts a taste profile you edit and keep.
- This-or-that rankings — tap the one you like more and it places your favorites in order, without star-rating everything.
- Notes that stick — "dropped at chapter 40, the pacing died" is remembered and steers what it suggests next.
- One profile, yours — visible, editable, and exportable, carried into every recommendation.
Hands-off Crunchyroll sync
Tsundoku Watch, our Chrome extension, updates your AniList list as you watch on Crunchyroll — finish an episode and your progress logs itself. No screenshots, no manual tracking.

Good to know
What do I need to use it?
A free AniList account. Your manga and anime lists sync both ways; notes stay private.
Manga, anime, or both?
Both, kept separate — a toggle scopes each answer to one medium, each with its own taste profile. A release calendar tracks upcoming chapters and episodes on your lists.
Where do the recommendations come from?
AniList's community-voted "also liked" data, plus real AniList and MyAnimeList forum threads it reads on demand. Not from a black box.
Is it a manga reader or a streaming site?
No. It helps you decide what to read or watch and keeps your lists in order. Reading and watching happen wherever they happen.
