How to download a Kakuyomu story as EPUB

https://kakuyomu.jp/works/12341234123412341234.Copy the complete story URL from your browser’s address bar.
Paste the URL into the download box above. WP Downloader will detect that it comes from Kakuyomu.
Select EPUB. You can also choose to include the story’s images.
Download the EPUB and open it in a compatible reading app or device.
WP Downloader downloads the whole work. It does not support individual Kakuyomu chapters or lists, so paste the main work address instead of a chapter URL.
What the EPUB contains
The EPUB contains the complete Kakuyomu story available when you download it. EPUB downloads are free for everyone.
Kakuyomu stories are in Japanese, and WP Downloader keeps the story in Japanese. You can choose whether to include its images in the ebook.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. For a PDF, use the Kakuyomu to PDF converter. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in.
An EPUB will not update when the author publishes a new chapter. Return to the Kakuyomu downloader and download the whole story again to get the latest version.
Kakuyomu support was ported from FanFicFare, the Apache-2.0 open-source fanfiction downloader. See the other available fiction archives on the supported sites page.
Do I need to sign in?
No. Kakuyomu downloads do not require an account. Paste the Kakuyomu work URL into the form and choose EPUB.
WP Downloader only downloads content available from the story link. It does not bypass paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.
