Good fit if

  • Learners who want kanji tied to words and grammar
  • People who like one site instead of a stack
  • Beginners who will follow its lessons

Look elsewhere if

  • You already pay for WaniKani and a dictionary
  • You only need a search box
  • Another sequence is already in progress

Kanshudo is a Japanese study site that links kanji, vocabulary, grammar, and flashcards. The useful idea is connection: a character is not an isolated drill.

Who it fits

It fits people who want one login to cover kanji and lookup, and who will follow the site’s lessons instead of browsing randomly.

Limits

It is still a sequence product. Running Kanshudo next to WaniKani doubles the queue. If you only need a search box, Jisho is lighter.
