ようこそ｡
Named after the all-knowing yōkai from Japanese folklore, Hakutaku aims to be a treasure trove of manga knowledge. Fans of manga both old and new, we’re happy to share our passion for the medium with readers around the world.
The Hakutaku Team
Alana
Editor & Writer
For nearly eighteen years, Alana has been an avid fan of Japanese visual culture, stemming from the days she watched Cyborg 009 after school. To fuel her reading habits, Alana works as a full-time digital content writer. If she’s not tracking down the latest retro manga releases, she’s probably chilling with her pet frogs.
Mel
Translator & Writer
Mel graduated with a BA in Japanese and minors in Writing and Women’s Studies. She’s currently an editor for a small publisher and translates niche Japanese novels in her free time. Her other interests include art history, particularly Baroque art, and drawing. Mel’s favorite frozen yogurt is chocolate with marshmallow sauce.

Help Support the Site
It’s a known fact that browsing the internet today without an adblocker is a nightmare. Before a webpage even finishes loading, your screen is crammed with video ads, pop-up forms, and other junk. It’s intrusive, irritating, and inconsiderate.
When I updated Hakutaku in 2023, I decided to pull all display advertising from the site. Without these ads, the domain and hosting for Hakutaku is 100% financially backed by my own pocket—and generous donations from fans!
