Questions & answers

Is this Politics news free? Do I need an account?

Yes, reading is completely free with no account required. Every politics story is an original Japanese adaptation of real news, with furigana above every kanji and a one-line English summary. A free Yomimaru account adds tap-to-look-up dictionary entries, grammar explanations, and saving words to your own study deck.

What JLPT levels does the Politics section cover?

Every story is adapted across JLPT levels from N5 to N1. Open any politics article and switch levels with the tabs at the top — the facts stay the same, only the Japanese adapts — so absolute beginners and advanced readers can both read the same news at their level.

How often is new Politics content published?

Yominews publishes an original adaptation whenever a story is genuinely leading the Japanese news agenda — several a week rather than a fixed daily quota. The newest politics stories appear at the top; older ones move down the feed.
